Gossip & Rumors
EXCLUSIVE: Britney's Mystery Man

TMZ has learned exclusively that the mystery man who has been at Britney Spears' side isn't a "manny," isn't single, and might actually know less about raising kids than Britney herself.

Britney's hitherto mysterious companion is Perry Taylor, a 28-year-old Naval Academy graduate who played on Navy's lacrosse team and who grew up and went to high school in the Washington, D.C., area.




What's more, quelling rumors that Perry may be taking the place of K-Fed, Perry's mom, Caroline, tells TMZ her son is living with a six-foot brunette (she's Perry's height) and that she's been his girlfriend for two years. Perry's mom calls the girlfriend "a bombshell" and coos she's "the best girl he's ever been with. They're really happy."

Perry and his paramour moved to the West Coast so that Perry could pursue a career in private security. The All-American kid, who graduated from the Academy in 2000, wanted to work in security in Iraq and Afghanistan but, says his mom, "the women in his life talked him out of it." He got his current gig working for a security company, and, according to his mother, worked for another blonde celeb, whom she wouldn't name. Mom says she had never even heard of Britney Spears until her son started working for her.


And if there was any question about whether he was helping out with the Sean Preston diaper detail, his mother told TMZ that the answer's pretty clear: "He's just beginning to learn about babies," she says, adding that not too long ago he asked a friend of his how old babies have to be before they open their eyes.

Finally, if dealing with unruly and slightly reptilian elements in Hollywood is an issue, Perry has experience: His mother says he once crawled out of a window of his house at 14 months and was found near a pond, and that he kept a pet python at the Naval Academy that ended up living at her house.

1. Taylor is the perfect body guard for Britney. He got kicked out of the Navy for Drug use while on the USS Iwo JIma and was sleeping with one of his enlisted subordinates

3. I think it is really cute the way his mom talks about him....but she should know that Britney stole K-dud from a very pregnant Shar Jackson...Britany likes to buy her men and I am sure Brad Pitt didn't know anything about kids before Angelina got a hold of him...I think Brit has found a new Baby Daddy for her kids. I like Brit but since she broke up with Justin she has been a mess...maybe a well disciplined real man is just what she needs to get her life back from the K-dud. I think her mom and dad would approve of this one.

8. Shouldn't her husband be protecting her?

9. I FEEL SO MUCH SYMPATHY FOR BRITNEY. THIS CONSTANT SCRUTNY & HARRASMENT IS GOING TO GIVE HER A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. NO ONE SHOULD EVER DOUBT A MOTHER'S LOVE, I'M SURE BRITNEY IS DOING HER BEST AT PROTECTING SEAN, BUT IT'S JUST HARD TO BE A PERFECT PARENT WHEN THE PAPARAZZI IS CONSTANTLY FOLLOWING YOU.

10. I am not a huge Brit fan, and yes she has made some mistakes. Especially when it comes to making sound decisions for her child's saftey. But if you had your life documented every minute of every hour every day.....your flaws would defineately shine through too!! Every parent makes most of their mistakes with their first born. As of yet I have not seen or heard of her making the same mistake twice, which means that she is learning.

11. just leave the poor girl alone! she will learn from her mistakes just like we all do. im sure if one of us was famous they would find any lil thing to put in the papers. im sure she is a good mother. love ya brit!

14. Hm ... she DID repeat the same mistake of driving with her kid in her lap .... sad poor rich girl. got famous too young with wannabe parents and then got married too young to a wannabe husband.

15. Brit I think you are doing a great job with Sean. I know how hard it is just being a mom tring to raise a child without the help from the chids father. You would be so much better off if you would divorce that dead beat husband of yours. Good luck with your new baby.
