In a shocking turn of events, Paul Soliz, the former housekeeper of pop icon Britney Spears, is officially facing divorce from his wife, Nicole Mancilla, after eight years of marriage.

Mancilla filed the divorce papers in California’s Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split and marking June 29, 2023, as their date of separation.

Mancilla is seeking both legal and physical custody of their five children and has requested spousal support from Soliz.

Additionally, she is asking the court to prevent him from claiming spousal support from her and is looking for him to cover her attorney’s fees.

Just weeks ago, Spears and Soliz made headlines as they were romantically linked following Spears' divorce from Sam Asghari.

However, it appears their relationship was fraught with complications.

In July 2023, Spears took to Instagram to declare herself "single as f***" and announced she "will never be with another man" again.

Sources later revealed that she ended the relationship after feeling that Soliz was taking advantage of her.

Despite the breakup, Spears was spotted spending time with Soliz and three of his children in a trampoline park just a month later, attempting to maintain a low profile with sunglasses and casual attire, holding one of the kids by the hand.

This sporadic reconnection has left fans puzzled about the true state of their relationship.

It's important to note that aside from his connection to one of pop culture's biggest stars, Soliz has been entangled in legal troubles of his own, facing multiple misdemeanors and at least one felony charge.

In May, the couple also made headlines due to an intense argument at the Chateau Marmont, leading to an ambulance being called and Spears later showing off a foot injury on her Instagram.

As the legal proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how this story will develop, particularly with the welfare of their children at the center of it all.

Will this convoluted relationship saga finally come to rest, or is there more drama on the horizon? Stay tuned!
