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

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. Please to all the above losers ranting about Britney getting STDs, how do you know what protection she uses? As the article states, she knew this man for some time, and there is no way she is sleeping with him now. And I love the judgemental idiots that use God and whore in the same sentence. You might just be a loser yourself. What goes on in Rehab is none of your buisness and since you don't follow her and this man around, you have no idea what is really going on. They could be friends. And to the haters who claim they are sick of her, move on the the next article and don't comment. For the person who said they wish she would just od and be gone, you apparently have no children of your own, and if you do I wonder if you would feel if this were your child? It is nice to know there are perfect people out there.

64. Great idea (not) #1...dating someone from rehab is probably up at the top of the "bad idea" list..... hopefully this guy will hold her hand while she throws up all over him like she did that other guy....cuz she was drunk..oh wait....she says she's bulemic... maybe she's just a drunk bulemic.......this dude should run as far as he can.

65. I was actually hoping this idiot child would get serious help in rehab instead of repeating the same freaking pattern. Damn-what is it gonna take for her to realize that she is NOT making good choices?

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.

Posted at 9:41PM on Mar 14th 2007 by Oh Britney, NOOOOOOO

69. 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.

70. 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.

71. 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!
