THOUSANDS OAKS, CALIFORNIA: Britney Spears' tumultuous relationship with former housekeeper-turned-boyfriend Paul Soliz is back on track, as she has welcomed him and three of his children into her California mansion.
In an interview on the 'Drew Lane Show' in Detroit, Sandra Smith, the furious mother of Soliz's estranged wife, Nicole Mancilla, claimed he and his children moved into Spears' home approximately a month ago.

With her two children, Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James, 18, now residing in Hawaii with their father Kevin Federline, the pop star appears to be embarking on a new chapter in her life.
However, those close to her have described Soliz as "bad news."
Soliz's legal troubles have raised eyebrows, particularly his felony possession of a firearm charge in December 2022, linked to an incident from 2019.
Although he hasn't encountered any new charges since, Soliz had a tense encounter with law enforcement following an argument with Spears at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles last May.
Police and paramedics were called to Chateau Marmont last night for a woman fitting Britney Spears’ description.

Despite publicly declaring herself "single as f**k" in a now-deleted Instagram post in July, Spears has since reconciled with Soliz.
The post also stated she would "never be with another man," but it seems their relationship has been rekindled, with Spears now taking on a motherly role in Soliz's children's lives.
Sandra Smith calls Paul Soliz a 'deadbeat dad'
Sandra Smith, who labeled Paul Soliz a "deadbeat dad," openly expressed her disdain for the relationship.
"I don't even think she [Spears] knows he is married… we are just trying to regain the three boys back. He took them a month ago, and we are still trying," she said.
Nicole Mancilla, Soliz's estranged wife, is pursuing legal action by filing for divorce and seeking both legal and physical custody of the five minor children they share.
The couple had been married since March 22, 2015, but separated on June 29, 2023.

Despite the drama, Spears and Soliz's family were spotted together at a Sky Zone trampoline park in Thousand Oaks in August, fueling speculation that the two had reconciled.
This sighting occurred shortly after Spears' fiery Instagram post directed at Soliz.
Amid this rekindled relationship, there are also reports that Spears is focused on reconnecting with her sons.
An insider claimed the singer is "on a mission" to win back their affection, especially now that her child support payments to Kevin Federline are ending.
"Britney's on this crusade to spoil them," said the source. "All the money she used to give to Kevin for child support is now going to go to buying gifts for the boys—she's clearly hoping she can win back their love."
