We're going to check out who the performer's been with over the years and see who she's been hanging out with lately.
Britney's Early Relationship Experiences Were Reflected in Her Music
Spears' been with plenty of dudes in the industry ... one of her earliest relationships was with Justin Timberlake, whom she met while they were costarring on "The Mickey Mouse Club" during their teenage years.
The pair went began dating in 1999, and they were spotted in each other's company during various public events and awards shows over the next few years.
However, the singers broke up in 2002, and Timberlake went on to release "Cry Me A River," which many of his fans speculated was about his relationship with Spears.
The "SexyBack" singer later issued a public apology to his ex-girlfriend in 2021 on his Instagram account, writing he had "failed" her.
Spears subsequently claimed she'd undergone an abortion in her 2023 memoir "The Woman In Me," and wrote that the experience was "agonizing," according to People.
Britney Dated Around for a While ... and Briefly Married an Old Friend
In addition to the claim about her past pregnancy, she also alleged she had cheated on the singer with dancer Wade Robson ... although the experience was limited to a make-out session at a bar.
Following her split from Timberlake, Spears was linked to several individuals, including actor Colin Farrell, attending a film premiere with him in early 2003.
The singer's fling with the actor didn't last -- and she shocked the public when she married her childhood friend Jason Alexander on a trip to Las Vegas in January of 2004.
The thing is, the pair's union wasn't intended to be serious, and they wound up annulling their marriage after just 55 hours.
Spears later wrote that her parents traveled to Las Vegas after learning about their daughter's actions, and she claimed they "made way too big a deal out of innocent fun," according to People.
Britney's Second Marriage Resulted in Kids -- and a Divorce
Spears then began a relationship with Kevin Federline -- who's previously performed as one of her backup dancers and later began a short-lived career as a rapper -- after the two met at a nightclub in 2004.
The pair embarked on a whirlwind romance, and they made things official in a ceremony in Studio City, Los Angeles, that same September.
Oh, and just in case you didn't think that was fast, we've got another one for you -- they started a family just a year after that with the birth of their first son Sean.
Spears and Federline welcomed a second son named Jayden the following September, and he arrived just four days before his big brother's first birthday.
But the performers' relationship came to a screeching halt in November 2006, and they finalized their divorce agreement the following July.
Britney Went From Partner to Partner After Her Divorce
Spears didn't remain single for long after her divorce, as she moved on with several individuals, including paparazzo Adnan Ghalib ... although their relationship ended in 2008.
The singer started dating agent Jason Trawick in 2009, and the two wound up engaged after two years.
Although Spears and Trawick went split up in 2013, her representative issued a statement to ABC News in which the singer claimed she would "remain great friends" with her former fiancé.
The performer later started a relationship with David Lucado -- although they split up after she reportedly found a video of him dancing and kissing another woman during a night out in 2014.
Spears then dated producer Charlie Ebersol -- son of SNL co-creator Dick Ebersol -- but their relationship didn't last, and they broke up in June 2015.
Britney Got Hitched -- and Went Through a Divorce -- for the Third Time
Spears' next long-term relationship was with Sam Asghari, who played the lead in the music video for her 2016 track "Slumber Party" ... and the pair went Instagram official with their relationship in January 2017.
The two remained together for another four years before we shared a few snaps of the actor going ring shopping in Beverly Hills -- and you guessed it, he popped the question in September 2021.
Although the two had to navigate a miscarriage the following May, they worked through their grief and tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in June 2022 -- oh yeah, and Alexander tried to crash the wedding ... but that didn't go so well for him.
12/1/21
The couple remained together for almost a year before rumors about trouble in the pair's marriage began to surface, and they officially split up that August.
Spears and Asghari worked out the terms of their breakup in the following months, and their divorce was finalized in May 2024.
Britney Tried Dating Her Former Maintenance Worker
The singer eventually moved on with Paul Soliz, who previously performed maintenance work at her home, first linked in 2023.
Spears and Soliz's relationship was seriously tumultuous, and a blowup at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood in May 2024 resulted in paramedics called to the scene.
Sources told us the singer and her former flame had an altercation in Las Vegas during the last week of December 2023, and when the dust settled, the singer apparently had to shell out a five-figure sum to cover the damages to their hotel room.

Channing Tatum's Dating Life: From Jenna Dewan To Inka Williams!
Channing Tatum's been through plenty of highs and lows over the course of his career ... especially when it comes to his love life.
The star of the "Magic Mike" franchise has been through a marriage, a divorce, and a subsequent engagement, the end of said engagement, and the beginning stages of a new relationship ... if that's not dynamic, we don't know what is!
Here's a look at how the actor's played the field and moved on from each one of his big splits.
Channing Met His Future Wife on Set
Tatum met his future wife, Jenna Dewan, on the set of the 2006 film "Step Up," in which they costarred -- and in case you were wondering, yeah, their characters ended up together.
The pair began dating, and the actor popped the big question after taking the actress on a romantic trip to Maui in 2008 ... and they didn't wait too long to tie the knot, as they held a wedding ceremony in Malibu the following year.
Tatum and Dewan announced in December 2012 they were expecting a child, and the actress gave birth to their daughter Everly the following May.
The two remained together for another five years before they revealed their separation to the public in April 2018, and Dewan formally filed for divorce the following month.
Although the pair were declared legally single in 2019, their divorce -- which Tatum described as "super scary and terrifying" at first during an interview with Vanity Fair -- wasn't finalized until September 2024.
Tatum Moved on From His Split ... With a Singer
Following his split from Dewan, Tatum dated around for a bit before he found himself with singer Jessie J, who he began seeing in late 2018.
A source spoke to Entertainment Tonight that October and claimed while the two had "just hit it off," the actor was "really" into the hitmaker.
After a year of PDA-filled outings and affectionate Instagram posts, however, the two split ... and a source told People in December 2019 that, while they were "still good friends," the actor and the singer had "different priorities and focuses that don’t really align."
But the pair were spotted in each other's company the following month, and four more months of loved-up snaps and videos on Instagram ensued.
Tatum and Jessie ultimately went their separate ways a second time in April 2020, and a source told People that, while the split was "totally amicable," both the actor and the singer realized that it was "better to move on" from their relationship.
Tatum Collaborated With His Future (Ex-) Fiancée
Tatum went back into work mode for a little while following his breakup with Jessie, and he was cast in a project that was eventually titled "Blink Twice" -- during which he met and worked with Zoe Kravitz.
Although the pair's relationship initially began on strictly professional terms, they eventually began being spotted in each other's company, and a source spoke to People in September of 2021 to express that the two had a "cute and flirty chemistry."
The performers remained together for another two years before it was announced that they got engaged in October of 2023.
While Tatum and Kravitz stayed engaged for a full year, they ultimately called off their plans to tie the knot in October of 2024, when they decided to end their relationship.
The actress opened up about her split from the "21 Jump Street" star in an interview with Elle, where she claimed that she still cared for her former fiancé "very much."
The Actor Ended Up Dating a Model
Tatum eventually dusted himself off and moved on from the end of his engagement, and he started being spotted with model Inka Williams.
We caught a video of the fashion industry personality keeping her arm around the actor while they attended a pre-Oscars party in February of 2025
An insider later told Us Weekly that, while the actor was "very interested in Inka," he was "trying to take it easy" during the early stages of their romance.
However, that didn't stop Williams from going Instagram official with the actor, as she shared a tribute to commemorate his birthday on her account in April.

Joe Jonas & Sophie Turner Friends, Then spouses, Then Exes, Then Co-Parents!
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have been through plenty in their relationship, which has seen lots of ups and downs.
The Disney Channel mainstay and the "Game Of Thrones" star have gone from just friends to more than friends, then to not friends at all, and they now appear to be on friendly terms ... it's a lot, we know.
To that end, let's unpack how the performers grew close, fell apart, and went back to a healthy place.
Joe And Sophie Met When He Slid Into Her DMs
Jonas and Turner's first interaction occurred when he slid into her DMs, and she revealed during an interview with Harper's Bazaar U.K. that, although they had plenty of mutual friends who wanted to introduce them, the actor had to make the first move.
The pair eventually met IRL, and the two started being seen together in various photos that were shared on social media in late 2016.
The actress decided to make things Instagram official with the singer in 2017, when she shared a photo of him on New Year's Day.
A source subsequently spoke to Us Weekly and claimed Jonas and Turner were openly locking lips during HBO’s 2017 Golden Globes after-party.
The performers played coy about their dating life in the press, however, and the actress simply claimed during an interview with Marie Claire U.K. that she was "very happy" in her relationship.
Jonas And Turner Tied The Knot After Two Years Of Engagement
Jonas waited until October 2017 to pop the big question to Turner, and they announced their engagement by sharing posts on their respective Instagram accounts at the time.
The actress later told Marie Claire that she found her engagement to be "lovely" and that she had experienced "a sense of peace that comes with finding your person."
The two went on to make their red carpet debut during a Paris Fashion Week event, which took place the following October.
Jonas and Turner -- who starred alongside Nick and Kevin Jonas' respective partners Priyanka Chopra and Danielle Jonas in the music video for the brothers' track "Sucker" -- tied the knot in a ceremony that took place in Las Vegas in May of 2019.
The couple went on to hold a second wedding ceremony in the South of France the following month, during which the actress' "Game Of Thrones" costar Maisie Williams served as her maid of honor.
The Performers Had Kids ... Then Broke Up
Reports began to swirl about a potential pregnancy in the summer of 2020, and a source told People at the time the pair were "hoping to expand their family."
Turner later gave birth to the couple's first daughter, Willa, that July, after which an insider spoke to Entertainment Tonight and claimed the couple was "obsessed" with the new addition to their family.
The actress went on to confirm she was pregnant with her second child during an interview with Elle U.K. published in May 2022, and she expressed that the prospect of being able to expand her family further was "the best blessing ever."
Jonas and Turner welcomed their youngest daughter, Delphine, that July ... although their child's name was not revealed until the following year.
The couple remained together until the following September, when we reported they were headed for a divorce.
Jonas officially filed for divorce on September 5th, and a source told People the performers had "been living separate lives for months" prior to the filing.
They Had A Custody Battle ... And Worked Things Out
A legal battle over the custody of the couple's children began when Turner filed a lawsuit in September 2023 in an effort to have the couple's children returned to England.
According to the documents she filed, Jonas apparently refused to turn over his daughters' passports, although the actress ultimately dropped her claims the following January, People reported.
The singer and the actress went on to finalize their divorce in September 2024, and they've since established a healthy co-parenting relationship.
Jonas spoke highly of his ex-wife during an episode of the "School Of Greatness" podcast, where he claimed his daughters had "incredible women to look up to, including their mom."
The singer added he had "a great co-parenting relationship" with Turner, and claimed their dynamic was "really important to me."
