She wasn’t exactly a vision in white. On October 20, Britney Spears slipped into a wrinkled, stained satin wedding dress — complete with a lace veil that extended all the way to the floor — and preened for the camera, as Sting’s “Fields of Gold” played in the background. “The day I married myself…,” she wrote of her brazen decision. “It might seem embarrassing or stupid, but I think it’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever done !!!”
Others think she’s in distress again and needs help. The practice of marrying oneself is commonly known as sologamy, which supporters say can help lead to a happier life. But Britney’s behavior lately continues to become increasingly erratic, “and friends and loved ones are worried,” a source exclusively tells In Touch. “She was ‘freed’ from the conservatorship [in 2021], and ever since, she’s been spiraling.”
Britney, 42, had been chained to the conservatorship since 2008, shortly after she suffered a devastating mental breakdown in front of the world and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Four years earlier, she’d married her first husband, Jason Alexander, 43, in Las Vegas, only to annul the union 55 hours later. That same year, she wed Kevin Federline, 46, with whom she shares sons Sean, 19, and Jayden, 18. Their marriage ended in 2007, and Britney remained single until she married Sam Asghari, 30, in June 2022. They divorced in August 2023.
Most recently, Britney’s been dating her former housekeeper Paul Soliz, whose estranged wife, Nicole Mancilla, filed for divorce on October 2. Britney and Paul were first linked in September 2023. They seemingly broke up in July when Britney declared on Instagram she was “single as f–k.”
“They’re on-off, so who knows where they stand right now,” says the source. “But if Britney is throwing her own wedding and marrying herself, they’re probably not together at the moment. But that can all change in a heartbeat.”
Britney is desperate for her fairy-tale ending, says the source. “She’s a hopeless romantic at heart. She even went on her own honeymoon!”
Indeed, days after sharing her bizarre wedding video, Britney was showing off her bikini body alone by the pool in sunny Turks and Caicos. “The fact that she planned her honeymoon and there was no husband… it’s just more disturbing behavior on her part,” believes the source. “She seems to live in this world of make-believe, and things are getting stranger and stranger. Britney deserves a happy ending — but a fake wedding might not be it.”
