Britney Spears revealed in a great audio clip posted to YouTube on Sunday that she had a “secret relationship” during her 13-year conservatory — nearly fleeing the US with the unnamed man.
“I was talking to a guy and he just wanted to get out of the country with me,” the 40-year-old pop star shared in the now-deleted video. “We had it all set up to just leave, and it was a secret relationship.”
Spears said she once talked about the quiet romance with her assistant when they were backstage at one of her residency shows in Las Vegas.
The “Overprotected” singer said she told her former employee that her “greatest fear was” what my father would do if I did something wrong? What if they found me? What would they do?”
Spears added that she feared “they would lock me up or really hurt me” if she actually left the US.
She then remembered the assistant saying to her, ‘Are you kidding me, Britney? Your father would never do that to you.”
However, the “Crossroads” star said her assistant was proven wrong when she was reportedly forced into a mental health facility against her will in early 2019.
During the 22-minute video, Spears revealed further details about the alleged abuse she had endured at the hands of her father, Jamie Spears, his fellow conservators and the therapists at the treatment center, but stopped sharing her secret romance.
While Britney was in a conservatory from 2008 to 2021, however, there were other relationships that were known to the public.
The ‘Stronger’ singer dated talent agent Jason Trawick from 2010 to 2013, and the pair were even engaged for a while and he was named co-curator. However, they broke up after three years together because they “grew apart.”
Britney was in relationships with David Lucado from 2013 to 2014 and Charlie Ebersol from 2015 to 2016.
However, the Grammy winner’s longest and most talked-about relationship during her conservatory was with her now-husband, Sam Asghari.
The pair met in October 2016 while Britney was filming the music video for “Slumber Party” and got engaged in September 2021 after six years together – two months before Britney was officially off.
During a court testimony in June 2021, Britney told the court how much her conservators had hindered her and Asghari’s plans for the future.
“I have a [IUD] in my body right now I won’t have a baby and my conservators won’t let me go to the doctor to get it out,” the “Hold Me Closer” singer said at the time. “I feel addressed. I feel bullied and feel left out and alone.”
Seven months after the conservatory ended in November 2021, Britney and Asghari, 28, tied the knot at a fairytale wedding at her former California home.
