The singer – who split with David Lucado in August – is claimed to have made her new boyfriend, Charlie Ebersol, sign a confidentiality agreement before their romance can continue.
According to TMZ, the 32-year-old asked Charlie to sign the nondisclosure agreement to ensure he wouldn’t talk about their time together, should the relationship end.

It’s not very romantic but we can see where Britney’s coming from…
Insiders told the publication that everyone in Britney’s life has signed the legal binding document and now Charlie is gagged. Should he violate the agreement by speaking without Britney or her father’s permission – Jamie Spears acts as Britney’s conservator – Charlie would face “severe penalties”.
They added how Charlie, who works as a TV producer, is “is taking the NDA seriously and is saying nothing about his relationship.”
The couple have been dating for around a month but only went public on Saturday, when the mum of two posted a snap of them looking loved up on her Instagram.
We hope this time, for Britney’s sake, that Charlie is the one.
