Sam and Britney appear to be communicating minimally after he filed for divorce under the belief she was unfaithful.

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari may be turning a corner in their ongoing divorce, as the estranged couple are reportedly speaking again, following reports that Britney broke up with the ex-employee she was allegedly romancing.

Sam And Britney Are Communicating, But The Divorce Is Still On

“[Britney] and Sam have spoken minimally. But hardly at all,” a source recently told Us Weekly, also confirming that the pop star had “cut thing off” with Paul Richard Soliz.

Paul, who was originally hired as a maintenance person to work on Britney’s property, is rumored to have had an affair with the singer during her marriage to Sam. The Iranian native filed for divorce from Britney on August 16th following 14 months of marriage. Shortly after, it was reported that Sam believed Britney had cheated with an employee, leading him to call off their marriage.

Insiders who confided in TMZ suggested that Sam entertains the notion that Britney might have directed a member of her staff to record a nude video of herself. Additionally, there are allegations of her engaging in an intimate encounter with at least one male employee.

A source informed the media outlet that there is a video showing Britney and the employee in a “compromising position.”

Shortly after the allegations of infidelity gained attention, Britney and Paul were photographed together, prompting speculation about whether they were now together following her recent change in relationship status.

Britney Broke Up With Her New Boyfriend As His Criminal History Was Exposed

However, it appears things may be over faster than they even started, as Britney apparently called it off amid backlash over his criminal history. “Britney and Paul have gone their separate ways,” a source claimed to Us Weekly earlier this month. “It was a short-lived romance but nothing serious and they’re no longer together.”

Paul was apparently hired by Britney’s team without completing a background check, so they were unaware of his extensive criminal history when he was first onboarded, including multiple misdemeanors and a felony. Some of his prior charges include offenses related to disturbing the peace, child endangerment, and driving without a valid license.

Soliz’s latest legal trouble occurred in December 2022 when he was charged with a felony for possessing a firearm, all while he was still in Britney’s employ. He was subsequently terminated not long after this incident.

Following a recent court appearance regarding probation violations earlier this week, photographers approached Paul and asked about his association with Britney. In response, Paul had nothing but kind remarks to share about the singer.

“She’s a phenomenal woman,” he said to Us Weekly reporters. “She’s a very, very good, positive … She’s a good person.”

When asked about Britney’s well-being in the context of her divorce, he confirmed that she is “doing great.” Furthermore, he expressed only positive sentiments about the singer’s estranged husband, describing him as a “great guy.”

Paul also openly discussed his ongoing legal case, acknowledging that he isn’t particularly concerned about the ongoing legal proceedings. He mentioned his belief that the case will be dismissed and shared that he is presently participating in court-mandated anger management classes.

Perhaps it was Paul’s willingness to talk to the media made Britney pull the plug on their short-lived romance. Her divorce from Sam remains ongoing.
