How Much Older Is Britney Spears Than Her Boyfriend Paul Richard Soliz?
Britney Spears‘ name has been in the news a lot over the last several months following her divorce from Sam Asghari. There have been reports that the mother-of-two cheated on Asghari while they were still married with a man named Paul Richard Soliz and that led to their split.
The exact timeline of when Spears started dating Soliz hasn’t been confirmed, but their relationship has raised eyebrows for another reason.
Here’s what we know about Soliz and his past, plus how much younger he is than the pop star.
Who is Paul Ricard Soliz and what’s their age difference?
Spears met Soliz in 2022 when he was hired to do housekeeping and maintenance jobs around her Thousand Oaks, California, home.
Soliz, who is five years younger than Spears, has nine children and has introduced them to his girlfriend. Sources shared that the singer got along very well with his kids the moment they met especially his then-7-year-old son. “That’s her favorite. They just click,” an insider told Us Weekly.
OK! reported that Siloz’s former partner, Nicole Mancilla, claimed that her ex cheated on her with the singer, has not paid child support bills for their five children, and even “denies his kids.”
Mancilla said: “My husband fell for Britney Spears. He was married, and now he denies his children. He neglects his children for her. He’s a deadbeat dad. It’s difficult for me because he doesn’t support not one kid, and they’re at my house.”
A number of fans have expressed concerns about Spears’ new beau because of his criminal past.
Siloz has allegedly been charged with multiple misdemeanors and at least one felony over the years. Those include charges of child endangerment, driving without a license, and felony possession of a firearm for which he was sentenced to two years probation and served 90 days in jail.
What Britney Spears said following her alleged fight with Siloz at the Chateau Marmont
In early May 2024, Spears and Siloz’s relationship made headlines for the wrong reason.
Police were called twice to the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. The first incident had to do with the pair partying and drinking in the hotel lobby and accusations that Spears was harassing hotel employees and other guests.
The couple ended up returning to their hotel room, but law enforcement was called back again for an apparent fight between Spears and Siloz. Paramedics also arrived on the scene that evening, but no one was transported from the hotel by ambulance. The paparazzi captured photos of the “Oops!… I Did It Again” artist leaving the Chateau Marmont in shorts, partially covered by a blanket and clutching a pillow. According to TMZ, she looked like “she’d been crying” as she left with her security team.
Hours later, Spears broke her silence on Instagram calling the news “fake” and writing: “I also twisted my ankle last night, and paramedics showed up at my door illegally. They never came in my room but I felt completely harrassed.”
