Britney Spears is back on the dating scene following her split from ex-husband Sam Asghari. The former spouses announced their separation in August 2023 and finalized their divorce in May 2024. That month, the pop singer was involved in a medical-related incident at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, where she was photographed walking out of the hotel with her new boyfriend, Paul Soliz. Although not much is known about Paul, multiple outlets have reported the details of his personal life, criminal history and his connection to Britney.

During an interview with Us Weekly in September 2023, Paul described Britney as a “a phenomenal woman,” adding, “She’s a very, very good, positive … She’s a good person.”
He Has a Reported Criminal History
Page Six reported that Paul has been charged with multiple misdemeanors over the years. In 2014, he was convicted of one count of disturbing the peace and was charged with child endangerment that year. However, the charge was dismissed following a plea negotiation, per the outlet.
Two years later, Paul was convicted of driving without a license in 2016, according to the outlet.
