Spears 'not engaged to manager'

A friend of Britney Spears has rubbished reports that the star is engaged to her long-term manager.

According to a US tabloid, the 'Womanizer' singer is planning to wed rumoured boyfriend Jason Trawick after he proposed during their recent vacation to the Bahamas.

Speaking to People, the insider said: "There's no truth to it at all. Britney is not engaged."

The 27-year-old was first linked to Trawick last year, when he accompanied her on a Costa Rican holiday. Recently, a source close to the couple claimed that they were "totally and definitely dating".

It was previously suggested that Spears's father approves of her romance with Trawick, 37.
