Britney Spears & David Lucado broke up after he reportedly cheated on her

OH NO! Britney Spears and normal-guy David Lucado are over. There were rumors about their rocky relationship for months now, but every time a split rumor really took hold, Britney and her people let it be known that she was still with Normal Guy Dave. But now it’s over, even Britney is confirming it. You know why? Because Normal Guy cheated on her. Damn, bro.

Britney Spears just dumped her boyfriend of 18 months … after finding out there’s a video of him cheating on her that’s being shopped around Hollywood.

We’re told David Lucado is seen in the video making out with a woman and dancing with her. It looks like they’re in someone’s living room. We’re told the video was shot in early August.

When we called Lucado … a rep told us, “David is very, very in love with Britney. This is unfortunate and he hopes that it all works out.”

Well, it didn’t. We called Britney’s camp for comment, and we were told her father Jamie wanted to say something about it, but wanted to tell Britney first. It appears as soon he told her … she broke up with David. She just tweeted, “Ahhhh the single life!”

[From TMZ]

Britney’s rep confirmed to People Mag: “Yes, she’s single.” People also says that Britney’s relationship with Dave has been “tiffy” (they fought a lot) but Britney is looking to focus on her career now – her Vegas show comes back in a few weeks. Part of me doesn’t believe that Britney will be single for long. I think that’s the deal that she’s made with her management and her father (her conservator): she will lip sync and dance for money all they want, but they have to let her have a boyfriend. She’ll have a new guy by October.

PS… As I was going through these photos, I kept looking at the guy that must be Britney’s go-to bodyguard. That guy is SO HOT. He has an interesting look too – former military? I’m thinking more IDF than Navy SEAL. Anyway, he’s a hottie.

    Britney needs to be single for a while and just relax and be a mom.

    I don’t understand women who always need to be in a relationship. Take time from being part of two and learn how to be one.

    The bodyguard is hot.

    • Josephine says:

      I have the sense that she has the mentality of a teen. The poor thing is STILL under a conservatorship. That’s unheard of absent some serious mental health issues or incapacity. Whatever is going on, it’s not at all a normal life and maybe the boyfriends are the only distraction she gets. I think her situation is awful.

    • Rice says:

      All very true. But what’s got me totally perplexed is that Normal Guy Dave has a REP?! What the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks?! Normal Gal Rice needs a rep, ASAP!

      • Petunia says:

        So I personally know this guy. A couple of years ago my boyfriend and I were bartenders at an Atlanta staple that has religious regulars. He was a regular. He actually sometimes , “helped out” after hours for free drinks. He’s a very nice, cool guy. He was there every weekend and closed it down every night. Which surprises me that her camp would allow an obviously fond of some cocktails, man to date her. We actually had to drive him home once. He suddenly disappeared. We were shocked to read about him dating Britney. Haven’t spoken with him but wish him the best.

    • HH says:

      I think Britney is under the impression that she will find a guy who will be her “knight in shining armor.” Someone to come “save” her from the life she’s in. There are have been a lot of hints that Britney is not exactly happy or okay, mentally or emotionally. However, plenty of people are simply glossing over some statements because they desperately want her to be just fine.

      • FLORC says:

        HH
        Well, she’s never been allowed to mature into an adult so that younger mindset is right on. She’s had some unbalanced issues, worked to the bone as chief breadwinner of her family, and is not in control of any part of her life.
        I feel for Britney. I think it’s fair to say she’s propped up to perform to support the lifestyles of others even at the cost of her own health.

    • peasantswife says:

      OMG bitch needs a bra

    • Jenni12 says:

      Eliza, exactly. I don’t get this need to be coupled up nonstop. I am married but I wasn’t freaking out endlessly when I wasn’t with someone. If you’re not enough on your own, you won’t be filled up by a boyfriend.

  2. Frida_K says:

    If I were her, I’d go for the hot bodyguard. Who cares about Normal Guy David? Meh.

    Hot bodyguard is hot.

    😉

  3. Brin says:

    If anyone deserves to be happy, it’s Britney. I think she is a good natured soul and I wish her well.

    • Esmom says:

      Yes, that’s what I was thinking. She seems fragile to me and I hate the thought of her guy taking advantage of that.

    • janetdr says:

      This.

    • Jenni12 says:

      I like her, too, but it always sat poorly what she did with KFed and his pregnant girlfriend. I think she was devastated by the Justin breakup for years because it was her stability, but it still sucked what she was part of. If nothing else, she was young and emotionally in a bad place and hasn’t repeated her error. I can’t figure out what they’ve done to her; she was such a great dancer and performer. Now she’s robotic.

  4. Abbott says:

    I genuinely want her to find happiness…and a bra.

  5. Victoria 1 says:

    She needs to get with the hot bodyguard, Dave who?

  6. Hissyfit says:

    It seems like she’s one of those celebrities who always have to have a boyfriend.

    She looks very happy and healthy. I hope she’d get the full custody of her kids back. Is that even possible?

    • Josephine says:

      No so long as she does not have control of her own affairs, and that’s maybe that is for the best. Besides, for as much as the kids’ dad seems like a loser, he has always taken care of the boys, so maybe she’s happy with the arrangement.

    • Lori says:

      I actually think K-fed is a good dad. Hands on and stable. Why take that from those boys. Because the man is not cool?

  7. Loopy says:

    Does she really always want a boyfriend all the time or her Father/Management don’t want her to stay idle and feel a partner is the best solution, i think she has the kids only half the time.

    • Dubois says:

      I think that’s the likely scenario. Her dad is Machiavellian. TMZ says he bought the video of the cheating. I think they line up these babysitter boyfriends, pay them and Britney is none the wiser. I read somewhere that they limit her internet access, so she doesn’t even know what the general public thinks about her and never reads anything negative about herself.

      That type of control is dangerous. Everyone needs a healthy dose of reality no matter how painfull. I think it would go a long way to helping her mature and gain self acceptance.She’s in a bubble. They give her enough money to buy frapps, cheap clothes and go to Target.

  8. Mia4S says:

    The “boyfriend” was a sanctioned and monitored member of her team. Also apparently an idiot to blow this gig.

    Look I’m sad at what’s become of her but I’m not delusional either. She’s happy but very limited in her capacity. She will always be controlled to some extent and will never have full custody of her kids. In many ways though she’s luckier than many with mental illness as she was too valuable and wealthy to leave her to fall. It’s all so sad.

    • Zwella Ingrid says:

      Do we really know she has a mental illness, or is this still surmise on our parts?

      • Ash says:

        She had a huge breakdown in 2007ish, she shaved her head, carried an umbrella around, busted a car window, and a load of other things.

  9. trollonthelosse says:

    the go-to bodyguard is Casper Smart wish.

  10. GiGi says:

    I once heard something about fame – that people become stunted at the age they became famous. So for Britney – that’s early-mid teens, right? Add that to the fact that she’s obviously living with serious mental illness and it’s just a time bomb, imo.

    I always get sad for her, because I feel like her people just keep her medicated enough parade her out for money (Vegas, anyone?) without really being concerned for her well being. I can’t put my finger on exactly what’s going on with her, but she just seems completely blank now.

    • Josephine says:

      The blankness could be a side-effect of medication. My cousin was diagnosed with schizophrenia and the medication made him so spacey and out of it. But I agree about the situation. It’s not right. How do they keep propping her up on stage when she is so incapacitated that she can’t have custody of her kids or run her own life? I see nothing but sadness in the whole situation.

      And the bit about fame is right on in my opinion.

    • jessica6 says:

      GiGi, that’s very true about being stunted at the age when fame appeared in one’s life. The vast majority probably are stunted, although I’m sure there are exceptions. For example, Brad Pitt has said a few times that Jennifer Aniston is perpetually 25 years old, and I believe it. It’s the same with a host of other celebrities.

    • Christin says:

      I believe a lot of former child stars fall into this category, but I also know non-famous people who are stuck in a much younger emotional age.

      I recently caught a line in a 1940s film where a widowed father matter-of-factly tells his daughter that her idealized mother was really like a 15-year old the entire time he knew her.

  11. ADD says:

    Britney posted a video. She looks so sad. I just want to give her a hug.

  12. Kate2 says:

    I feel bad for her. She’s just pumped full of meds and shoved onstage like a trained monkey. I always feel like she’s just barely holding it together, like she’s teetering on the edge of total breakdown again. There just seems to be nothing behind her eyes.

    Say what you want about her music or her voice but girlfriend could bust her ass. She was a great performer. You Tube some of her performances from 2002-2003 for a refresher. She’s a shell of that now.

  13. Tig says:

    She really has been through the wringer to
    be so young. I can’t be too hard on her father- he got her help at a time when she could very easily have died. Whether she should still be paraded in a Vegas show is another matter.

    The BF is totally stupid- who out in La La land doesn’t understand that everyone takes videos, esp if there’s $$ to be made off said video? It is good that Brittany has stopped (hopefully) at two children, who do seem to be doing well.

  14. Jlee says:

    I have such a soft spot for Britney. I would love to see her retired from performing and back in Louisiana. Hair in a knot, daisy dukes, bra less, shoeless all day everyday.

    • bettyrose says:

      I think this about a lot of celebs who’ve been battered by stardom. Why not take that $$ and go live a peaceful life somewhere homier? That strategy did wonders for Sandra Bullock, and Brit’s own little sister.

      • Petunia says:

        Because they are fame whores and your idealic suggestion of fading into oblivion to live peacefully is their idea if hell.

      • Ash says:

        If I were to ever become rich and famous, it would be hard to live the money. I could live the fame easily, but the money seems pretty nice. This coming from a twenty-something with a load of college loans to pay off.

  15. Sam says:

    This stuff gives me the creeps. She’s still under a conservatorship – which basically means she doesn’t have the capacity to make major life decisions for herself. But we’re supposed to believe that she can enter into these relationships with full capacity? And wouldn’t most reasonable men feel weird about carrying on a relationship with a woman who has the legal status of a child?

    I’ve seen articles that delve into exactly how controlled her life is. A reporter noted a while back that any interviews with her have to be vetted, that she is never, ever left alone with a reporter or basically anyone, etc. It seems slightly sad.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      Yes, these “boyfriends” always disturb me. I just have to wonder if it happens naturally or if they are chosen for her and employed.

      • Loopy says:

        She is really guarded, I don’t think she is free to casually meet anyone on her own accord, the father gets people vetted and then introduces them to her, if they hit it off they can stay.(so i read)

  16. Betti says:

    I’ve always had a soft spot for Britney and there is clearly a lot of love out there for her. She was a very talented performer who loved what she was doing, its such a shame to see the sparkle that made her a success fade.

    She clearly has serious mental health issues and the conservatorship is probably the best thing for her, as look at what happened the last time she was left to manager her own affairs – she almost fell victim to con man. I’m glad it’s her father who is looking after her – her mother didn’t seem to be doing a good job.

    I think they encourage her to continue performing as a way to help manage her illness – if she’s active she’s not succumbing to whatever haunts her. I’ve seen family members with mental illnesses descend into deep depression if they are left to their own thoughts and have nothing to get out of bed for.

  17. Jenna says:

    I don’t get why people keep insinuating that she is being “forced to perform” and bla bla bla. She does have the capability to lash out, you know– eg. umbrella incident. Her dad seems like a reasonable person who wouldn’t do something like that to his daughter, since he was the one who stepped up and got her the help she needs.
    She has also said her entire life how much she LOVES performing– dancing, singing, etc.
    Just because she has a mental illness and is on medication doesn’t mean she’s a “trained monkey” and has absolutely no effing say or feelings toward the subject matter. It’s not like she’s in a ton of debt and has no choice… her performing is what keeps her going and what keeps her feeling alive; Celebrate that.

    • Candy Love says:

      ^^This

      • Loopy says:

        In recent times she has definitely said that she just wants to fall in love, take her kids and go live on an island. She has a lot of people to look after i suppose her expenses must be crazy that is probably why her father has her do it, but still keeps a close eye on her.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      I agree. I think she has said several times that she loves performing. I cant sign on to the idea that she is “forced” to keep working, though it is a possibility.

    • Josephine says:

      She doesn’t seem like a fame-seeker at all. She doesn’t go to fashion shows, industry parties, or even the pap-friendly restaurants. She doesn’t go on vacation all over the world and enjoy the high life. She hardly seems to go out at all. Going to Starbucks or Target on occasion is not exactly consistent with a class-A fame-wh*re. And I can’t imagine she is putting on an enormous charade so that she doesn’t have to perform as well — that theory seems way too far-fetched and exhausting.

      Yes, she’s rich, but she worked for it, and it hasn’t seemed to make her happy. She doesn’t even have custody of her own kids. I’ve never thought much of her as a performer, but I feel for her as a mom, and she seems to be living a sad existence.

  18. Chris says:

    Ah Britney and her First World problems.

    • Courtney says:

      I hope you’re kidding. She appears to have serious mental health issues and has the legal capacity of a child. Those aren’t first world problems.

      • Petunia says:

        How does she appear to have the mental capacity of a child? Are you sure you’re not basing this on all the armchair psychiatrists that have, “diagnosed” her in commentary. Anyone that signs up to ride the fame train is a specific personality. The inflated egos and need to be famous are what they crave. Their gauge of what makes a life successful is skewed in that while some of us pride ourselves on being good friends, wives, mothers . Living with integrity and whatnot, they merit success in life by becoming famous . No shock that she’s unable to have custody of her children. Often sacrificing morals and souls to get there. They all are emotionally children. That’s why they are who they are. It’s not a tragedy. They don’t deserve our pity. I promise you should she ever come across these article comments that speak about wanting to give her a hug, soft spots, etcetera, she probably laughs her ass off. These people , who don’t know her wasting their prayers and time analyzing her. She’s rich and famous. It’s what she wanted. It’s what a lot of sad people want. To feel bad or sorry for her is laughable. She’ll be just fine.

      • Josephine says:

        @ Petunia. Lots of celebs have serious depression, and the spate of suicide is no laughing matter. Not all celebs are the horrible people you make them out to be, and considering that she was managed as a young teen, I doubt she had a whole lot of say in the direction and speed of her career. You seem to equate being rich and famous with being evil, but it’s not that simple.

  19. LAK says:

    …..so we are going to pretend that this was a real relationship?

  20. Leprechaun says:

    And she should stick to her guns about getting a new boyfriend while she is young and hot, because it gets harder as you get older. I hope her father finds someone just right for her, a minder who loves her deeply and will stick with her. I know that is a very twee sentiment; it is. But dang, she’s had such a hard life in terms of her mental health, so I hope there is someone out there who is good for her mental state and who bolsters it while sticking with her, Yeah, that’ll take someone special, but they’re out there. Go get ’em. Britney!

  21. MAC says:

    I want Britney to find a guy who loves her and cherishes her. That my wish for her. I am glad she dumped his cheating ass. She has been through enough and while many women have been through a lot it has not been in the international press.
    Sending her a hug

  22. kri says:

    That bodyguard!! Damn. I would totally be suggesting acting out scenes from The Bodyguard movie if I was Brit. You know this man could crumple normal Guy Dave up like a tisssue, toss him over a car, and then sweep B off her wedges! After he’s done with this gig, I need someone to walk me to my car after I leave work…

  23. me says:

    Girlfriend needs to get better bras. And then wear them. Every day.

  24. Zooyork says:

    Dave wears his shorts too short. IMO. I think guys’ shorts should be at least to the knee.

  25. Michele says:

    Her ex was a creep. I feel sorry for her, if you’ve seen her at all in any documentaries her sweetness and shyness really is evident and its WHY these creepy guys keep getting the upper hand with her. I just hope she stays single for a while. I’d like to beat his ass for hurting her. She’s a nice girl.

  26. skippy says:

    what is Britney going to do with her days if she doesn’t work, when her kids go to school she’ll be cleaning the house which would take a weekend or sunday, so what will she do with the rest of her time get board and spent her money on thing she doesn’t need because she board or work a job that makes her miserable, I don’t think Britney is incapable as many of you think, just because she has gone through mental illness doesn’t mean she is incapable of living her life and if he cheated than why should she be with a man who cheated, she should be with a man who loves her for her thats what we all want, she clearly still loves JT honestly some people talk about Britney like she can’t do anything and I don’t think she is that incapable, she also clearly still loves what she does maybe she just needs to balance thing out a bit.
