Paul Soliz, Britney Spears' On-Off Boyfriend, Faces Divorce as Wife Files to End 8-Year Marriage .

Paul Soliz, Britney Spears' on-again, off-again boyfriend, is now dealing with more turmoil in his personal life as his wife, Nicole Mancilla, has officially filed for divorce after eight years of marriage. The divorce papers were submitted to the Superior Court of California on Wednesday, with Mancilla citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split. Documents obtained by Page Six reveal that the couple's official date of separation was listed as June 29, 2023, marking a definitive break in their marriage after months of instability.

This news comes amidst the backdrop of Soliz’s relationship with Spears, a romance that has garnered significant media attention in recent months. Soliz, who was once Spears’ housekeeper, has now become a prominent figure in the pop star’s tumultuous personal life. The timing of Mancilla’s divorce filing has led to speculation about the impact of Soliz's high-profile connection with Spears on his marriage, although no direct links have been confirmed.

Mancilla, in her divorce filing, is seeking both legal and physical custody of the five children she shares with Soliz. She is also asking the court for spousal support, a common request in divorce proceedings where financial stability and child welfare are key considerations. Additionally, she is asking the court to terminate Soliz's ability to request spousal support from her, making it clear that she does not intend for him to be financially dependent on her post-divorce. Moreover, Mancilla has requested that Soliz be held responsible for paying her attorney's fees, a move that reflects the potential financial strain of the legal battle ahead.

The complexities of Soliz's personal life have been magnified by his relationship with Britney Spears, which became public in September 2023, just months after Spears herself filed for divorce from her husband, Sam Asghari. Spears and Asghari had been married for a little over a year, and their highly publicized split has kept the singer in the headlines. The revelation that Soliz and Spears had developed a romantic relationship quickly caught the attention of fans and media alike, especially considering Soliz’s previous employment as Spears’ housekeeper.

Soliz's background has also raised eyebrows, as it has been revealed that he has a criminal history, including multiple misdemeanors and at least one felony charge. His past legal troubles have added a layer of controversy to his association with Spears, as many wonder how such a figure came to be involved in the life of one of pop music’s biggest stars. Despite these concerns, the pair’s relationship appeared to progress quickly, with Soliz being spotted spending time with Spears and her children in public.

In fact, just weeks before Mancilla’s divorce filing, Soliz and Spears were seen together at a trampoline park in Thousand Oaks, California. Despite rumors that they had broken up in July 2023, after Spears posted an Instagram message declaring herself “single as f–k,” their outing at the trampoline park seemed to suggest otherwise. Spears, who was trying to maintain a low profile in aviator sunglasses and casual attire, was photographed holding hands with one of Soliz’s children. The images sparked further speculation about the nature of their relationship, with some suggesting that they were trying to rekindle their romance.

However, Spears' social media activity in July painted a different picture. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the singer declared that she would "never be with another man" for the rest of her life, implying that her relationship with Soliz had come to an end. Reports at the time suggested that Spears felt Soliz was taking advantage of her, and a source told Page Six that she decided to end the relationship for that reason. It was a dramatic turn in what had already been a whirlwind romance, coming on the heels of Spears' divorce from Asghari.

The circumstances of Spears' and Soliz's on-again, off-again relationship are further complicated by the public scrutiny both have faced. Soliz's past, combined with Spears’ own struggles, has made them an unlikely but compelling couple in the eyes of the media. And while their romance may have initially seemed fleeting, the continued sightings of the two together suggest there may be more to their story.

Adding to the intrigue, Soliz and Spears reportedly got into a heated argument in May 2023 while at the famous Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. The argument was significant enough that an ambulance was called to the scene, although details about what exactly transpired remain murky. Spears later took to Instagram to share photos of an injury she sustained around the same time, writing, "Walking on a broken foot … if I go fast it goes numb!!!" However, earlier in the month, on May 2, she had denied any altercation with Soliz, attributing the tears seen in paparazzi photos to her injured foot rather than any personal conflict with him. 

Despite the drama surrounding her personal life, Spears has remained active on social media, where she frequently shares updates with her fans. In one of her more recent posts, she hinted at her frustrations with relationships, saying she had no plans to be with another man in the future. For someone who has spent much of her life in the public eye, Spears' relationships, whether with Soliz or others, are always subject to intense scrutiny and speculation.

As for Soliz, the fallout from his relationship with Spears and the end of his marriage to Mancilla is likely to dominate the next phase of his life. Mancilla's divorce filing, along with her request for custody of their five children, suggests that Soliz's domestic situation will soon be undergoing significant changes. Whether or not he and Spears continue their relationship remains to be seen, but what is clear is that both parties are navigating complex personal and legal challenges.

In the end, the saga of Paul Soliz, Britney Spears, and Nicole Mancilla is emblematic of the way personal lives can become intertwined with public personas. While Soliz may have once been a behind-the-scenes figure in Spears’ life, his connection to the pop star has thrust him into the spotlight in ways that neither he nor Mancilla may have anticipated. Now, as Mancilla seeks to finalize her divorce and move on from her eight-year marriage, Soliz’s future—both personally and romantically—remains uncertain.
