Britney's New Dude: "We're Growing Very Close"

Posted Mar 14th 2007 5:48PM by TMZ Staff

Britney and Jason Britney Spears' newest rumored boyflavor of the month, Jason Filyaw, admits that he and Brit have been "growing very close" since their "special" relationship began, and even used the L-word to descibe his feelings for her.

In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Filyaw, self-described as "very spiritual," would neither confirm nor deny that he is dating Spears, but admitted, "I love her, I support her 100% and we are close." Filyaw, who's been attending AA meetings with Spears, also revealed that he is helping Britney with the spiritually "deep" part of her recovery.

The 33-year-old lead guitarist for the rock band RIVA says he met Spears long before she checked into Promises Rehab Center, and that they go "way back" to 2003, when he recorded some music with Britney at The Hit Factory in New York. Filyaw claims they stayed in touch, but "a few weeks ago ... we met up again at a Los Angeles AA meeting."

Ah, spring.

1. How long will this one last? A month at best? How can she be so filthy, sleeping around with so many different men. Doesn't she realize that HIV/AIDS is real?

2. Um I thought AA members weren't supposed to talk about who went to meetings, what was said there, or about someone else's recovery. And to TMZ? Brit needs to find different people to trust.

3. Great, Sounds like another loser that Britney is getting involved with....
Just what she needs. This poor girl really needs some serious HELP! And, I am not even a britney fan, but I kind of feel bad for her. She's like a little lost puppy....... and the worst part is that now she has these 2 babies that she is suppose to be a mother to. Someone really needs to intervene here..... Where's her family at???? Like her mother???

6. Here we go again..true love? I sincerely doubt it. She's looking for someone to rescue her from herself, yet again. Replacing one addiction with another one, so it seems to me.

7. Technically, she's not supposed to start any new relationships and focus completely on her recovery. If this is in fact true, it really shows that she is not serious about her recovery. She's hopeless. I have no hope for her sobriety. I wish she would just OD or fade away into obscurity. I am so SICK of Brit.

8. It is important to refrain from any serious relationships in at least the first year of your recovery- after all, the focus must be on oneself. You are literally a work in progress, and if this guy is so spiritual he'd realize that she has work to do, and his or her so-called "L-word" is both a selfish indulgence and an impediment to the process. They both need to truly grow up- separately.

9. This guy is just another fame whore!

10. I think she just checked in so she could get a lot of attention, be pampered, fed right and in general, taken care of. Whaddya bet this is just another vacation in disguise, meant to please the public..since most of us seem to think she's all washed up. Time for the recording honchos to find their next young thing to make a star, quick, before the cute young one gets corrupted like this one did. I am sick of Britney, too. Next!

11. The LAST thing Britney Spears needs is to become involved with ANY man. Her entire attention needs to be on herself and her two sons. Until she and those who really care about her - are ya listenin' Mom and Dad - CREATE a scenario where she feels safe and is allowed to nurture her two sons without pressure to "make a living"...she's destined to look for her validation and worth in the "new guy"...and the cycle continues. IT'S ABOUT YOUR SONS NOW...THEY ARE PRIORITY!!!

12. OH I can't believe this shit here. WTF is wrong with her??? Can't she go 5 minutes without a DUDE??? She is going right back to drugs and liquor. Not only that but she has to date a druggy at that?? NICE Brit! UNBELIEVABLE!! Isn't she supposed to be focusing on herself?? AND I agree - what a FAME WHORE to give a damn interview to TMZ about their relationship. HA HA.

Kevin! Just take the kids dude. Just take them.

13. AA recommends steering clear of dating/sexual relationships for a year after beginning the program. Just another example of how serious she is about getting help.

14. Dang! She grows her hair out fast. I wanna know her secret. LOL!!

15. Addict...

You are right. They are not supposed to talk about what goes on in those meetings nor who is there. That's the big one. Hence the term: ANONYMOUS.

He must have a record coming out or something. Give me a break. I hate to say this, but Kevin is clearly the responsible person for those two kids and that's not saying A LOT.
