Britney Spears

Britney Spears has recently confessed to being in love with her boyfriend David Lucado.

The two have been together for eight months now. The diva has started dating David after she split from fiancé Jason Trawick, and according to her, not only is her lover a strong, independent man, but he also inspires her with his passion.

“I’m in love... I like the fact that [David is] very stubborn and he’s stuck in his ways,” Britney told Entertainment Tonight. “He’s just a simple man. I adore him. He’s really funny and he’s really passionate. I love the fact that anything he’s involved in he’s passionate about and it’s contagious.”

The former pop princess revealed meeting David through mutual friends. She also confessed that her father, Jamie Spears, investigated her beau’s background in order to make sure there were no skeletons in his closet.

“My dad’s a little crazy like that,” she gushed.

Britney Spears is currently promoting her brand new album, Britney Jean, which, according to the singer’s statements, has emotionally exhausted her.

“I would say [the album] was kind of like therapy for me,” the diva explained. “It just kind of transformed me. As you write something your perspective changes. So, it was like my ‘good therapy record.’ I’m an artist so I think there are periods in everyone’s life where you get kind of reclusive, your creative outlet is cut off. Then sometimes it flows and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, this is what I need to be doing’ [which makes] it easier for you to be the artist that you want to be.”
