Britney Spears ’secretly married British boyfriend in Mexico,’ claims magazine
Britney Spears and her British boyfriend Adnan Ghalib recently married in secret, according to an American magazine.
The troubled star “secretly wed” Birmingham paparazzo Adnan during a trip to Mexico on 9 January, Star magazine claims.
A source told the publication: “While in Mexico, they went through a quickie marriage ceremony.”
The source apparently maintained: “When Britney recently accused her mother of ’sleeping with my husband’, it wasn’t Kevin she was talking about - it was Adnan!”
If true, the wedding was just days after Britney was first rushed to hospital, following an alarming stand-off with police at her home.
But even so, the magazine insists the marriage is not legal - because Adnan lied to the star and is actually still married to AzLynn Berry.
When she realized, Britney first dumped Adnan because she was so furious - but later gave him $250,000 (£125,000) to speed up his divorce so they could wed for real, according to Star.
“He is promising her that they’d get married again once his divorce is final,” the source said.
The alleged wedding took place when Britney, 26, and Adnan, 35, managed to sneak away from the media pack that follows their every move and drove to Rosarito Beach Hotel in Mexico.
“When Britney got out of hospital that first time Adnan talked her into going to Mexico to get married, saying that he was the only one who could protect her,” insists the source.
They pulled off an amazingly detailed plot to foil the world - hiring decoy private jets and security teams in New York, Las Vegas and Hawaii.
According to the report, Adnan had assured Britney he was legally divorced - even though he is not.
“When Britney and Adnan got back to L.A., her ‘manager’ Sam Lutfi told her that Adnan was still married,” the source said.
“She confronted him and threw him out.
“But he managed to worm his way back into her life, promising her that they’d get married again once his divorce is final.”
According to the magazine, Britney’s lawyer Sorrel Trope had his suspicions over the wedding - and finally got proof of it on February 8. The next day, he quit, refusing to say why.
“In all my years, I’ve never seen as big a dirtbag as this guy,” the source insists.
“I can’t believe how he has taken advantage of this woman when she was in such a fragile state.
“She is delusional, and he has fed off that.”
Meanwhile, Britney looked decidedly upbeat as she stepped out yesterday for a shopping trip with her mother.
Lynne Spears accompanied her wayward daughter to indulge in some retail therapy at Miss Sixty clothing store in West Hollywood.
The mother and daughter duo were reportedly looking for new jeans at the trendy boutique.
