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.

31. Poor dude has no standards. He probably grew up without a mommy.

32. My God calm down. Maybe there just friends. Woulden`t you rather see a Happy Britney then a crying angery very unhappy Britney. Let it rest just leave her alone. She wants to live her life. If this guy cares about her he will keep his mouth shut too.

34. well that can't be good...aren't people in recovery supposed to steer clear of relationships for a certain period of time? shouldn't someone (a counselor maybe) be pulling both of them aside and warn them of disaster that's bound to happen should they follow through with their so called relationship??? where are their sponsors????

35. The LAST thing she needs right now is a relationship!!! She needs to focus on herself and her kids!!! She is soooo messed up.

36. Hopefully he is just a friend. She needs to focus on her self and nothing else, so she can recover from all her disorders.

38. way to go, Brit. Some rehab huh. why , wot fun you're having!
I suggest whoever you've bullshitted to stay in that Hollywood getaway they wise up and kick your hot-to-trot ass to the curb. (Hopefully, they'll toss your icky wig out with ya)

Rehab, Rule # 1. You're here for one reason. Give US one more reason to boot your silly ass outta here. Get serious, or get OUT

AA, Step Zero - Realize you ain't foolin nobody here. If you plan to start on Step # 1, then leave your horney boyfriend at the door.

41. A member of AA should know better than to involve another member in a romantic relationship. Recovery requires no major relationships/involvements for at least a year.

42. I love Britney Spears but I really think she needs to fall in love with "herself" all over again and then fall in love with jayden & sean.

Those are the only to "men" that will make her whole again, then she can work on letting the right guy come along (not finding the right guy) & you know what, the right guy won't be a guy that will hold her hand & mug for photos with her while she jumps out of a limo from one club to the next half drunk and acting crazy with two small children at home.

Once you have children, the right guy for "you" comes second, the right guy for you & your children is first.

All in all, I sware this whole thing has been a 4 year "justin", I know you love me so take me back before I ruin my life cry for help.

43. ........"we met up again at a Los Angeles AA meeting....."

Brit's latest isn't any smarter than the rest of her princes.
You NEVER call out a fellow 12-Stepper, most especially not one in AA.

trust me, he's toast at any other meeting he plans to rendezvous with our missy britney, so hot she can't even wait until her 30 days are up..

gawd...just hope she's had her tubes tied by now.

44. Well...obviously of they are forming a relationship, which I doubt... this guy so wishes!, they arernt very commited to AA. AA doesnt want you to strat a relationship in your first year of recovery......
