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

Britney and JasonBritney 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.

Filyaw claims they stayed in touch, but "a few weeks ago ... we met up again at a Los Angeles AA meeting."

Ah, spring.

62. Stalker! I'm sure he's making more of it than it actually is and trying to get some publicity for his band @ the same time. I wouldn't be surprised that he went to AA meetings once he found out Britney was going to be there. Creepster.

63. Please tell me this is a joke. Right? Hooking up with someone she was in rehab with? What? She needs to stay in rehab for months because its not working.

64. In AA there is a name for this guys behavior...it is called 13 stepping! He should know better then to PREY on a woman that is new to sobriety. What kind of person is he to break her anonymity? I do not care for Brittany but I needed to say something about this AA predator and someone who does not take Tradition 12 seriously! I hope someone calls him on his crap!

68. Britney needs a new man in her life like a hole in the head. This girl has GOT to learn that she has to love herself before she can give love from anyone else. She needs to focus on her recovery, not on her recovery second and her new love interest (no matter WHERE she met him) first.

69. Britney, for once think with that peapod between your two ears and not with your vagina, get better, raise your boys to love and respect YOU!

Then (and only then) get yourself a toyboy, until then, keep them momma long legs closed, to men and too the paparazzi

71. Wow... if this is what having money does for a person, I'd rather stay poor.

She's a very bad example to so many, including her own babies. Makes me sick. What a spoiled rotten, selfish person.

72. I'm seriously doubting this guy's story is legit. He's breaking several AA rules by talking about meetings and who was there as well as the no dating or relationships for at least a year once you start the program. I'm thinking he's an opportunist trying to get some free publicity for himself and his band at her expense. Another of the many user "friends" taking advatage of her celebrity - tarnished as it may be. Hopefully some of her therapy in rehab with help her see these people for what they really are and avoid them in the future.

73. I am always amazed how these twenty-somethings can fall "in love" in a couple of days . . . but it's really bad when they have already walked down the aisle and had kids . . . don't they give a damn about the kids? . . . and why do they have to drag AA into the mix anyway? . . . AA is the most successful solution out there for addicts . . . more so than "rehabs" . . . so why can't these spoiled brats who have plenty of dough focus on the posh "rehab" scene and leave AA alone . . . at this rate of media exposure, it won't be long before they ruin it for everyone!

74. Why???? Britney are you hard up for Press. Stop Planting these stories. You are making an azz out of yourself.....

75. First of all, that guy looks like a seriel killer. Right up Britney's alley. Loser alert. And addicted too? Oh, that's hot.

He is proclaiming "love" already? His eagerness and inappropriate relationship timing is a clear indicator he wants some of what Kevin got (is getting) ... a big, fat payday.

Beats working and Britney is more than willing to give her money away to Losers.

ugh.
