On Saturday morning, the "Hold Me Closer" singer gave fans a peek at the inside of her car as she adjusted her blonde hair around her face.

Britney Loves Driving Around In Her Car, Which She Calls Her 'Spaceship'
In December 2022, in a since-deleted Instagram post, the "Oops!...I Did It Again" singer gave some insight into her marital troubles. She met the "Special Ops: Lioness" actor on the set of her "Slumber Party" music video in 2016 and the two became engaged in September 2021, only two months before her controversial 13-year conservatorship was struck down by a judge in November 2021.
The two tied the knot at a star-studded ceremony in the backyard of her Thousand Oaks estate in Los Angeles, California, in June 2022. July 28, 2023, was listed as the date of separation in a divorce filing dated on August 16.
In December 2022, the pop star said her then-husband thought she had gone "bonkers" due to her new love of meditation.
Britney began her post by writing, “I’m that meditation b—- now ??♀️… my husband hates it … he thinks I’ve gone bonkers. My masseuse is always doing it and he looks so peaceful … I’m like wow … that looks interesting.”
“Falling deep into yourself … I say all this because I try to make effort to take care of myself,” she wrote at the time. “Normally I forget to eat … I wait way too long and I’m too sensitive so if anything goes wrong at the house it’s like the world has ended.”
“So l got in my car yesterday and I cried … I cried so d— hard but geez, my car is my spaceship ? … it’s where I have my best interests, thoughts, creative urges, ideas, it’s spiritual … totally spiritual and we’re all in this together on the road,” she continued.
“So I don’t feel alone unless those big 18 wheelers come by and hog the road and I want to s— on myself … but it’s me time … my own inner thoughts,” she added.
Britney Spears Has New Staff Members, Including A Medical Professional, Amid The Divorce
As The Blast previously reported, in late August, TMZ revealed that Britney’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, and manager, Cade Hudson, hired two new staff members to take care of her at her Thousand Oaks estate. It is unknown at this time what one staff member was hired to do, but the other is reportedly a medical professional who was hired to make sure that the pop star continues to stay on top of her medication.
It is unclear if one employee was hired to replace former housekeeper Paul Richard Soliz, who reportedly had a brief fling with the pop star. As reported by Page Six, the former employee has a criminal background, including multiple misdemeanors and felonies.
The outlet reported that, in April 2014, Paul was convicted of one count of disturbing the peace and arranged a plea deal to drop one charge of child endangerment, as per court documents obtained by the outlet. Two years later, Paulbwas reportedly convicted of driving without a license but managed to drop a separate charge of driving with a suspended license in another plea deal. Paul was also reportedly convicted of felony possession of a firearm in December 2022.
On September 13, a source told ET that the two are involved but her team is not “supportive of the relationship” and feels that he “isn’t good for her.” However, they went on to say that Britney “likes him though” because “he makes her feel like he is acting as her protector and she finds comfort in that, especially as she moves through her split from Sam.”
The following day, a source told the Daily Mail that the two had a “short fling” she and Sam separated, but that she broke it off after she found out about his criminal past and “no longer has any communication” with him.
The insider maintained that the two are not currently together. “They had a short fling after Sam left but that was it,” the insider said. “Britney hooked up with him twice and, at the time, [she] did not know about his criminal past. She no longer has any communication with him.”
