Reports Confirm Britney Spears Is Dating Agent Jason Trawick
I KNEW IT!!! People magazine and TMZ are finally confirming news that I have suspected (and was all but certain of) for quite some time now … according to sources in the know, Britney Spears IS, IN DEED, dating her agent Jason Trawick. While the couple, Britwick, have yet to be photographed canoodling in any really romantic fashion, I was pretty certain that the couple have been sharing a personal relationship with one another for at least the past 9 months (if not longer). Here is a pic of the happy couple celebrating Britney’s accomplishments last year (right around the time she guest starred on CBS’s How I Met Your Mother):
After a tumultuous relationship with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib and a heartbreaking divorce from Kevin Federline, Britney Spears has found somebody new – and her family approves. Confirming Internet rumors, a source tells PEOPLE that Spears, 27, is romantically involved with her agent, Jason Trawick. “They are totally and definitely dating,” the source says. “Her dad loves him. He’s the best thing that happened to her.” In recent months, Trawick has often been photographed with the pop star, including during her May trip to the Bahamas with her sons, Preston, 3, and Jaden, 2. “They’re very sweet together,” the source says, adding that Spears “always had a crush” on Trawick, who is also one of her brother Bryan’s best friends. “He makes Britney really happy, and he’s great with the boys.” Spears’s rep had no comment.
Adds TMZ: Most people hate their agents … but not Britney Spears. It’s official … she’s dating him. William Morris agent Jason Trawick (seen above with Brit last month) is officially Brit’s boyfriend — multiple sources confirm to us. It’s 100% true. We’re told Jason has been visiting Brit on tour — most recently in London over the weekend. Jason has been telling people when the tour is over he’s taking his sweetie on a vacation in a “private location.”
I SOOOOOOOO KNEW IT! Man, this is amazing news … I’ve contended all along that a stand-up guy like Jason Trawick would be perfect for our dear Britney Spears. The woman needs stability and, well, a man with a job (something that was severely lacking in her previous relationships save for Justin Timberlake). I could not be more thrilled at this news. While I called it a long time ago, it’s really heartening to know that Britwick is “officially” in lurve. Congrats!!! Here’s hoping they share a long and very happy life together.

YES!!

Well he looks the part, lets just hope he’s actually a good guy. Aren’t agents typically kind of sketchy?? (I’m thinkin Ari from Entourage, hah).
June 10th, 2009 at 7:40 am
He’s only 37: that’s 10 years older than her, not a big deal! Besides, he seemed sweet and considerate and normal!!! Britney could use some normal in her life :)
I love this!!! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for these two.
June 10th, 2009 at 7:47 am
He has a job but he’s getting his paycheck from her like most of the others in her past.
Not good.
June 10th, 2009 at 8:01 am
This is the most amazing news – wow has she turned her life around. He is NOT too old for her. I am close to his age and although, unlike him, I am married and have a child, we still get sitters and go out to concerts, bars, restaurants etc – he is surely plenty of fun and at the same time mature & grounded.
SO HAPPY FOR HER
June 10th, 2009 at 8:04 am
@Cinnamon — Sorry, he is not like “the others”. He is responsible for getting her career back on track after her mental breakdown in 07. If anything, she is indebted to him on that regard.
June 10th, 2009 at 8:07 am
Trent…go to BS.com…Britney is adding a new US leg….youre such a lucky SOB lol…2 times to the US but not to the Netherlands lol….someone shoot me please lol
June 10th, 2009 at 8:42 am
I dunno…. I don’t like her dating someone in such a power position. If/when it does end, won’t it get incredibly ugly?
June 10th, 2009 at 8:57 am
Yeah I think she needs an older more mature man to take care of her and to gain the trust of ol daddy Spears, so he’ll finally lay off and let her be. Good move overall – but still concerned about them having a business relationship. Oh well, cute!
June 10th, 2009 at 8:58 am
I hope this works welll for her!! She deserves it and at least he has a job. Go Brittnay..PS I think he is cute!!
June 10th, 2009 at 9:13 am
britney should date someone who has a career a good job and someone that isnt in her circle, bet any money if britney wasnt under her dads handcuffs she wouldnt date that guy by choice. britneys beautiful and talented she should have to choose whos for her not her father.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:22 am
you dont mix business & pleasure. no good ever comes from it.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:22 am
I hope this works. Britney was so fragile for so long, she doesn’t deserve another disappointment, not with the lives of two little boys in the picture.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:24 am
@BRITNEY DONT DO IT & the others – age ain’t nothing but a number. & if he makes her happy, he makes her happy & i’m happy for her. i don’t necessarily agree about mixing business & pleasure, but it’s her perogative as to what she wants to do. i do think they look cute together.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:58 am
A movie will be made about Brit’s life. This agent could be possibly be the leading man that will “save” her. :D
June 10th, 2009 at 10:15 am
This is great. A steady calm relationship with someone who is good with her kids.
June 10th, 2009 at 10:18 am
haha i looove the new name! BritWick… it’s awesome!
June 10th, 2009 at 10:56 am
As an representative for a client, Trawick is acting EXTREMELY unprofessionally. He should end his professional relationship with Britney if he wants to continue a personal relationship with her. This whole thing SCREAMS conflict of interest when/if they break up. I don’t like this at all. But, nobody’s opinion matters. Good luck to them.
June 10th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Additionally, he diminishes his name as an agent by sleeping with his client. Looks like he cannot separate his personal life from his professional.
June 10th, 2009 at 11:07 am
I agree 100% with Shaun. Either represent her or be in a relationship with her, not both. If he truly cares about Britney he should step down as her agent and just be her man. To continue things the way they are is unprofessional and inappropriate.
June 10th, 2009 at 11:13 am
How does it diminish his professional reputation? He’s been her agent for years, her friend for years, and is only now starting as anything more. It’s not like she’s his only client and he’s schlupping her, lol.
It’s obvious this relationship grew from their friendship. It’s no different than Celine Dion and her husband, or Kate Winslet and Sam Menzies. Happens all the time in Hollywood. As long as he keeps business separate, why should it matter? And for all we know, if things really get serious, she might decide to get a new William Morris agent. But until then, let them be :)
June 10th, 2009 at 11:34 am
Britney NEEDS to save herself. IMO she doesn’t need to be involved with anyone until she’s out from under her Daddy’s legal control, let alone a man she’s paying to direct her career. Britney needs to concentrate on her Boys ( getting 50/50 parental rights) and herself everything else can wait until she only has to answer to herself not her Dad.
June 10th, 2009 at 11:50 am
In response to Annie:
If she is not his only client, then he should no longer represent her. He or she should find an agent they trust and transfer his work over to that person. He will still have other clients that pay him, right? Therefore he doesn’t need her money. Otherwise the relationship might give some potential clients/current clients/other agents a sense of impropriety.
Funny that you mention Celine Dion and her husband because that is an EXCELLENT example of agent professional reputation being ruined for his personal relationship. Whether or not true, people judged their relationship and his ethics/judgment/motive for having a relationship with her.
In other professions that are characterized by the agent/principal relationship there are rules that if broken can lead to sanctions for the agent (see professional rules for attorneys in certain districts).
Just giving my two cents.
June 10th, 2009 at 11:52 am
*professional reputation being ruined DUE TO his personal relationship.
June 10th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
ugh i cant wait til I’m old enough to date a silver fox haha
June 10th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Awww good for her!! :) It’s nice to know he’s her brother friend – no good brother would let his sister date someone that wasn’t respectful.
June 10th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
He seems like a nice person and all, but it’s a dangerous combination to be in a relationship with someone you’ve got on the payroll! In spite of her comeback, it still feels like Britney is being used like the cash-cow she is. Afterall, it has been to the benefit of so many people–her family included–that Britney get it together, make money and not squander away the fortune that she built up during her career high. Add one more person to the mix who gets a cut of whatever SHE makes and it’s only a matter of time before she explodes again.
June 10th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Does she have something against dating men who are pleasing to the eye?
June 10th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
trent you so called this. and I tweeted this to you last night!
June 10th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
I don’t like them as a couple. To be honest, this isn’t really different from her dating a backup dancer. Sure, the title may be more trashier but it is still the same thing: they’re working together. I don’t think anyone should date anyone within their working area… it doesn’t do any good. Also, she shouldn’t be in a relationship right now until she’s finally able to stand on her own two feet. That’s just my opinion of course. I’m sure Britney is lonely but still.
June 10th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
I think he should resign as her agent. If they break up things will get messy, and there is so much conflict of interest there. If they’re serious he shouldn’t be in a situation where it looks like hes leeching of her.
As much as I hope this relationship is good I feel like its a half step from going from her fathers guardianship to his.
June 10th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
You people are so dramatic. How is this unprofessional?
Do you even understand what an agent does? They broker contracts and deals for their clients in movies, tv shows, appearances etc. There are rules and laws governing professional agents, and this man works for WILLIAM MORRIS, not Britney. Sure she’s his client but he’s not her hired help, he helps negotiate deals for her and gets her work. He get’s his base salary from WMA, and of course if he gets work for Briney he’ll get a standard percentage, but he has other clients as well. Was there all this concern for Mariah and Tommy Matolla or Celine’s hubby Rene?
Why with Britney dating an agent or manager is soooooo wrong?
To be an agent for a company like WMA usually takes a lot of smarts, hard work and education….most likely a degree in business and/or communications. I think this is a good thing for Britney. She needs to be with someone more mature and who is in the entertainment business, but is in the business side, not the entertainment side.
June 10th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
HE’S NOT ON PAYROLL!!!!!! HE’ GETS PAID VIA WMA…THAT”S WHO HE WORKS FOR AND GETS A SALARY. IF HE GETS BRITNEY A JOB HE GETS A PERCENTAGE OF THAT WORK .
AN AGENT IS THE GO BETWEEN THE POWERFUL TV AND MOVIE STUDIOS TO MAKE SURE ACTORS/TALENT DON’T GET RIPPED OFF. THEY MAKE MONEY FOR THEIR CLIENTS, AND GET THEM WORK. HE’S NOT HER DAMN BODYGUARD SHE CAN FIRE. SHE CAN LEAVE WMA,AND HE CAN LET HER GO AS HIS CLIENT. IT’S A TWO WAY WORKING RELATIONSHIP.
June 10th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
The examples of other agent/client relationships are illustrative of why this is not a good idea:
Mariah and Tommy
Celine and Rene
eek!
Doesn’t matter who the guy works for, he can still screw himself up. Many agents are also entertainment lawyers since they are contracting deals. It doesnt matter if they are solo practioners or a part of an entertaining firm, they still yield control and still have professional responsibilities they have to maintain. That responsiblity cannot be pandered off onto their firm. They, as individuals, can be brought up on charges for undue influence.
And with a client like Brittney, the amount of control this man may potential have is larger than most agent/celebrity relationships (due to her weakened state). He needs to be careful.
Also plenty of smart people make dumb mistakes when it comes to the heart. You must separate your brain and your heart when it comes to business.
But again, more power to them. I just hope this doesn’t wind up where I think it is going
June 11th, 2009 at 6:01 am
Hahaha why do you people think that after all of these years of the same rumor that somehow its all of a sudden true? They are definitely one hundred percent not dating. Jason is a friend of mine.
June 11th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
doesn’t this guy have a girlfriend already? britney doesn’t even look into this guy at all in recent candids.
June 12th, 2009 at 2:05 am
I’m so happy for her. Expanded and sold out tour, more time with her boys and a possibly new love.
She deserves it 100%
