Britney Spears has reportedly spent the New Year with a married man. Adnan Ghalib, the paparazzo that spent a night with her in her Beverly Hills hotel room last week, is already a married man!

The 26-year-old troubled singer has spent the New Year's Eve with Ghalib together with her two boys, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden Hames. The family minus Spears' ex Kevin Federline celebrated the new year in a private beachfront residence near Dana Point, California. And since Spears require a court-appointed monitor to spend time with her kids, they are joined by one.

Although the shutterbug has said that nothing more than a friendly "lunch" happened during his overnight stay with the pop star, he was saying a different story to his fellow paparazzi. "He was bragging last week that the night he spent with her at the Peninsula was the best night of his life," a source reveals to OK! magazine.

"He's always played her knight in shining armor. Not just because he's a gentleman, but because he's a true mercenary," the source continues.
