Britney Spears, the iconic pop star, has ended her relationship with boyfriend Paul Richard Soliz for the second time. The breakup happened around Valentine’s Day in February 2025, just weeks after the couple was last seen together. This marks the end of a rocky, on-and-off romance that began in 2023. Here’s the full story of their journey, the reasons behind the split, and what’s next for the singer.
Fans were buzzing with excitement when Britney Spears and Paul Soliz seemed to patch things up earlier this year. But now, the news is official: they’re done, and this time, it might be for good. Keep reading for all the details on this latest chapter in Britney’s love life.
A Rocky Romance from the Start
Britney Spears, now 43, first met Paul Richard Soliz, 38, in 2023. He started working at her Los Angeles home as a housekeeper and maintenance worker. What began as a professional connection soon turned into something more after Britney’s divorce from her ex-husband, Sam Asghari, was finalized in August 2023. The two were spotted together shortly after, sparking rumors of a new romance.
Their relationship hit its first rough patch in July 2024. Britney called it quits, saying she felt Paul was taking advantage of her fame and wealth. She even took to Instagram, declaring herself “single as f***” and vowing never to date again. At the time, sources said Britney saw his “true colors” and wanted him out of her life. She also barred him from entering her lavish Thousand Oaks mansion.
But love can be unpredictable. By February 2025, the couple was back together. On Valentine’s Day, they were photographed grabbing dinner at a Jack-in-the-Box drive-thru with some of Paul’s nine children. Britney was also seen with his kids at an indoor playground in San Fernando Valley, California, earlier that month. Insiders noted that she had a “great” bond with them, bringing “life and laughter” into her home.
Why They Split Again
The happy moments didn’t last long. Sources say Britney broke up with Paul just weeks after their Valentine’s Day outing, around late February 2025. While the exact reason isn’t clear, people close to the couple suggest the relationship had run its course. Paul has since moved all his belongings out of Britney’s Los Angeles-area home, where they had been living together.
Back in July 2024, Britney’s first split from Paul came with some heavy reasons. A source told TMZ that she felt he was using her for her “luxurious lifestyle.” Another insider shared with DailyMail.com that Britney chose her well-being and her relationship with her sons, Preston (19) and Jayden (18), over Paul. She shares her boys with ex-husband Kevin Federline. The source added that Paul didn’t treat her the way she deserved, and she saw him as just a rebound.
This time around, no specific incident has been pinned down for the breakup. However, their history suggests trust and compatibility issues may have played a role. Sources told TMZ that those close to Britney and Paul believe this split is permanent. Still, with their track record, some wonder if they might reunite again.
A Turbulent Past
The relationship wasn’t without drama. In May 2024, Britney and Paul made headlines after a night at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. Witnesses said they got into a big fight in their room, which turned physical. Britney reportedly injured her ankle during the chaos. She was seen leaving the hotel barefoot, wrapped in a blanket, with some believing she was in distress. Paramedics arrived, but she left with her security team instead of an ambulance.
After that incident, Britney took to social media to call the news “fake” and denied rumors of a breakdown. She said she twisted her ankle and felt harassed by the paramedics showing up at her door. The event left fans worried, but it also hinted at the stormy nature of her bond with Paul.
Another layer to their story is Paul’s background. He has a criminal record, including charges for disturbing the peace, child endangerment, and firearm possession. He’s also a father of nine, and his ex-wife filed for divorce in October 2024, calling him a “deadbeat dad.” Despite this, Britney seemed to connect with his kids, often spending time with them during their relationship.
Britney’s Priorities and Moving Forward
The first breakup in July 2024 showed Britney’s focus shifting. Sources said she reconnected with her sons, Preston and Jayden, after a period of distance. This brought her a sense of wholeness she hadn’t felt with Paul. An insider told DailyMail.com, “She realized no one can fill the void left by her children.” This may have influenced her decision to end things for good in February 2025.
Since the split, Britney has kept a low profile but hasn’t stopped sharing with fans. In March 2025, she posted an Instagram video dancing to a song by one of her famous exes, hinting she’s ready to move on. She’s also been vocal about her hair and nails in recent posts, clapping back at trolls and showing her confidence.
As for Paul, he’s out of her home and, it seems, out of her life. With his belongings gone, the chapter appears closed. Britney’s inner circle is reportedly relieved, having seen their relationship as “turbulent” from the start.
What’s Next for Britney?
Britney Spears has been through a lot in love—from her high-profile marriage to Kevin Federline to her 14-month union with Sam Asghari. Her time with Paul Soliz was another rollercoaster, but she’s shown she’s not afraid to walk away when it’s not right. For now, she seems focused on herself and her family, leaving fans hopeful for her next move.
