Britney Spears is all set to walk down the aisle for the third time with her long-term boyfriend Jason Trawick.
The 29-year-old pop star, who has been sporting a flower-shaped diamond on her wedding finger, has reportedly got secretly engaged to Trawick, who until last month was also her manager.
Talent agent Trawick, who is ten years senior to the 'Toxic' star, proposed to her by composing a romantic poem and bedecking the ground floor of their Los Angeles mansion with candles and roses.
"Britney's desperate to settle down again and have more children. But she is very traditional and didn't want to start a family with Jason until they'd tied the knot," The Sun quoted a source as saying.

ritney Spears has secured her place at the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot100 after breaking records with her new track Hold It Against ME.
The pop superstar garnered the highest number of U.S. radio plays ever in one day when she debuted the song last week (10Jan11), and she has gone on to score her fourth number one single in America.
Spears sold over 411,000 downloads of the track in the week since its release - the highest ever for a female artist, breaking the record of 325,000 digital sales set by Taylor Swift's Today Was A Fairytale last year (10).
Hold It Against Me came in at number one, followed by Bruno Mars' Grenade at two and Katy Perry's Firework at three.
The top five is rounded out by Rihanna and Drake with What's My Name? and Wiz Khalifa's Black And Yellow.
Pop star Britney Spears is making secret phone calls to ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.
The singer, who dated the British photographer for about three months, has contacted her ex-love in recent weeks.
"She says she's not living the life she wants. She really wants to get back together with Adnan," femalefirst quoted a source as saying.
If she has made contact with her ex-love, it goes against the restraining order placed upon Ghalib and her former manager Sam Lutfi in January 2009, after the duo were allegedly found plotting to take over her affairs.
Spears has been dating her former manager Jason Trawick, 38, since March 2009.
Britney Spears new song is about having a threesome.
The 'Womanizer' singer - who is known for wearing revealing, skin-flashing outfits on stage - has penned a track called '3' which suggests she likes being intimate with two lovers at the same time.
On the track, Britney sings: "Three is a charm / Two is not the same / I don't see the harm / So are you game?"
The chorus continues: "One, two, three / Not only you and me / Got one eighty degrees / And I'm caught in between.
"Countin' one, two, three / Peter, Paul and Mary / Getting' down with 3P / Everybody loves ***."
The racy song is due to appear on Britney's upcoming LP 'The Singles Collection'.
This is not the first time Britney's career has taken a provocative twist.
The 27-year-old star - who as a teenager said she wouldn't have sex before marriage - is currently on the road with her steamiest world tour to date.
Britney Spears' beauty secret is aluminium foil.
The 'Womanizer' singer reportedly uses cool strips of the metallic cooking aid to give her lips an instant pick-me-up when she is feeling tired.
A source said: "To keep her lips looking perky and fresh, her make-up artist takes a sheet from a stockpile of frozen foil in his freezer, pokes a hole in it so Britney can breath through her mouth and smoothes it over her face."

The regime apparently helps reduce puffiness and swelling, leaving Britney with a perfect pout.
Britney, 27, is not the only star with an unusual oral beauty regime.
Jennifer Aniston apparently uses a homemade lip scrub containing sugar and water to banish flaky skin, while Angelina Jolie swears by a $4 lip balm.
A source said of the 'Tomb Raider' beauty: "Angelina stockpiles the lip butter to preserve her to-die-for pout. She likes it because it also helps to freshen your breath and Angelina hates chewing gum"
It has been very quiet on the Britney Spears front, but now she's hitting the news again. Britney decided not to bring her sons to Russia during her tour, after she was reportedly left very upset by several death threats. Britney has been travelling through Europe with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James as she is performing her live Circus show across the continent. Britney has been inundated with a series of threatening e-mail messages, and now she is refusing to bring her sons with her as she played her first ever show in Russia, leaving them with family members in London. Spears also decided against staying in the country herself, spending the night in Finland and jetting to St Petersburg. Britney will fly back to Moscow to perform at the capital tomorrow, before taking her private jet back to London to be with her boys. A tour spokesperson reportedly told British newspaper The Sun, "Originally, both boys were to accompany Britney but she was against taking them because of these constant threats."
A few weeks before his death, Michael Jackson reportedly advised Britney Spears to retire from the music industry to focus on life with her family.
The late 'Thriller' star - who died of a suspected cardiac arrest on June 25 - reportedly telephoned the 'Toxic' hitmaker and warned her not to 'end up' like him.
"Michael told her, 'Don't end up like me.' His warning was eerie, like he was trying to tell Britney he was going to die," Contactmusic quoted a friend of Britney as saying.
The source told Britain's Look magazine, "I think Michael's warning sent shivers down Britney's spine. He was emphatic in warning her she should leave showbusiness in order to maintain her sanity. He thought she should retire after the 'Circus' tour so she could focus on the things that mattered - her sons and family. Britney must have taken Michael's words to heart as she promised him she would at least take a long break after she finished the tour," the source added.
Jackson and Spears had remained friends since they famously performed 'The Way You Make Me Feel' together at Michael's 30th anniversary celebration concert in New York's Madison Square Garden in 2001.
Despite having a history full of drug and alcohol abuse, Britney Spears recently walked off stage only because she made to feel uncomfortable by fans smoking marijuana during one of her ‘Circus’ gig.
The ‘Toxic’ hit-maker stormed off after three songs, and did not return for 40 minutes at Vancouver’s GM Place, Canada.
A loudspeaker announcement was later made, sternly asking the 19,000-strong audience to extinguish all their smokes if they wanted Britney to return.
Baffled gig-goers booed the star in chorus, while it was claimed that pot smoke had been detected around the stage, which made it “unsafe” for the star to perform.
Britney finally returned to a huge applause, but ended the two-hour show with a rather odd message.
“Thanks Vancouver, you were wonderful. Drive safe. Don’t smoke weed,” the Sun quoted her as telling the audience.
While Britney has battled mental health problems in the past, her mom Lynne, 54, has said that the pop princess began experimenting with drugs aged 15.
At the age of 16, she was caught with cocaine and marijuana on a private jet.
“Everyone was really confused when she walked off so early on, especially with her track record for going off the rails,” a source said.
“Britney was furious backstage, claiming smoke from cigarettes and joints was making it impossible to perform.
“Telling the crowd not to smoke weed after she kept them waiting for so long wasn’t her best move,” the source added.
The 27-year-old star’s representatives said that the gig came to a halt midway as crewmembers became sick because of the smoke.
Pop princess Britney Spears is making a great comeback not only with her career but life also, and reports now suggest that she has been secretly dating her manager Jason Trawick.
According to E! Online, Spears, 27, has been on a few dates with her long-time talent manager, Trawick, 37, reports the New York Daily News.
Trawick has been present at the Toxic singer’s first four shows of her Circus tour, and the two have reportedly been spending time together away from the work place as well.
Though both their representatives have declined to comment, Trawick's assistant at William Morris Agency has confirmed that he has been travelling with Spears on the tour.
But an insider on the Spears team insists that the singer has a “close professional relationship” with Trawick, and that it is “ridiculous” to suggest the pair is “romantic”.
Ace Indian choreographer Sandeep Soparrkar wants to once and for all put to rest rumours about his alleged affair with Britney Spears and says he is too much in love with his partner Jesse Randhawa to even think of dating the American pop star.
"I don't want to talk much about it as I am already in the news for the wrong reasons, but I want to make one thing clear that I am not dating Britney Spears," Soparrkar told IANS over telephone from Mumbai.
Just a few months ago, the international media was abuzz with the news that Spears is dating Soparrkar. Media reports had said that the two met at Madonna's party, hit it off immediately and later Spears came to India to spend time with him.
"I am very much in love with my partner Jesse Randhawa. I enjoy dancing with her. Whenever I dance with her, it gives me a feeling of closeness and pleasure," he added.
Soparrkar specialises in Latin American ballroom dancing and says the attitude of Indians towards this dance form is changing and people are now taking it seriously.
"People are becoming aware about treating dance as a career option and those who are serious know how to go about it. Dance is not a hobby any more and many study dance as their subject," he said.
"The most important thing is to understand and learn dance; only then can you excel in classes. There are people who are born with some dancing skills, but it is something that can be learnt over a period of years," he added.
While many have taken to learning western dances like salsa, Latino, rumba and cha-cha-cha, Soparrkar feels that the popularity of Bollywood dances overshadow these elegant dance forms.
"Bollywood dancing is the weirdest dance form and it can be learnt as a hobby. All those moves look good on screen and they are fun. Bollywood has a major influence on our everyday life and people love to imitate the moves of a popular song, but it isn't a serious dance form," the dancer said.
While Bollywood actors like Hrithik Roshan and Shahid Kapur have become a rage for their dancing skills, Soparrkar's personal favourite is Govinda, who according to him is a carefree and energetic dancer.
"He dances so beautifully and his effortless moves and great expressions make him a treat to watch. He dances from the heart and you can see the pleasure dancing gives him," he said.
Although he finds Bollywood dance weird, Soparrkar will be choreographing for three movies - "Raftar 24x7", "Cyclone" and "Phir Kabhi", which features Dimple Kapadia and Mithun Chakraborty.
"I'm not going to follow the Bollywood style. It will be a completely different form of dancing," he said.
Soparrkar made his debut on the small screen last year with music reality show "Chak De Shehar Di Kudiyan Te Galli De Gunde". This year too the salsa expert is one of the judges on new reality TV series "CBF Stunner 10" on UTV Bindaas.
The show, aired every Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., aims to spread awareness about safe biking amongst youngsters.
"The competition takes care of your overall personality and it is not just a show. It is a platform that prepares young aspirants to achieve their goal. We are just a guiding factor to help teach them basic things that will help them in the long run," Soparrkar said.
After giving birth to two boys, Britney Spears was out of shape for several years but now she is back with her sculpted body thanks to a strenuous workout.
“I have had to work hard at getting my body back to where it used to be. I used to be obsessed with working out but right now I am not giving my best because I am more focused on making music,” dailymail.co.uk quoted Britney Spears as saying.
Spears started going to the gym and dance training classes last summer where she lost 20 pounds weight.
After making her comeback last year and scoring a number one hit with Womanizer, Spears is preparing to reclaim her pop crown with a world tour “The Circus” which kicks off from her home state of Louisiana in March.
Through the ups and downs, personal troubles or no, Britney Spears is the hottest human being on Planet Earth, according to USA Today's survey.
USA Today’s annual Celebrity Heat Index, which measures how much exposure a star gets in print and online, has been topped by Britney, all thanks to the exposure she got through internet and print reports.
It's just another feather in Britney's cap, following her selection by People readers as having the "best comeback" of 2008 as well as being the "most talked about celebrity."
The second place has been nabbed by Angelina Jolie, whose life and romance with actor Brad Pitt is constantly making headlines. Jennifer Aniston takes third place and Pitt fourth.
Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith, meanwhile, dropped out of the Top 10 altogether.
Making the list for the first time is Twilight actor Robert Pattinson, who made a splash after playing Edward in the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s popular vampire books. Gossip Girl star Blake Lively is also a newcomer to the index.
Britney Spears reportedly snuck out of her home in disguise for a secret sex session.
The 'Womanizer' singer apparently defied her father Jamie's ban on men to enjoy the saucy rendezvous with a mystery friend - and even bragged of her romp when she got home.
A source said: "She's been a prisoner in her own home and began to crave affection and attention from someone other than her parents, which is only natural.
"She told her dad she got a ride with the person she'd arranged to meet and gone to their house in Los Angeles for a few hours.
The source added to Britain's Now magazine: Britney told him that she was a grown woman and ordered him to get out of her room
"She told him not to worry and that it was someone she'd known a long time who was a good person and wouldn't hurt her."
However, Jamie - who is co-conservator of her estate following her public meltdown last year - was apparently furious over the incident.
The source added to Britain's Now magazine: "Britney told him that she was a grown woman and ordered him to get out of her room. She didn't come out for the rest of the day."
Britney Spears turns the power on, flipping the candy cane switch to light the tree on stage at the ‘Light of the Angels’ Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony at the LA Live entertainment complex on Thursday, December 4, in Los Angeles.
The 27-year-old pop princess was joined by councilwoman Jan Perry and the mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa.
LA Live is a $2.5 billion dollar project and is only three years into construction. There’s still a ways to go–the cineplex won’t be ready before next year.
A year ago, Britney Spears was taking court-ordered drug and alcohol tests, had fired her managers, was losing custody of her kids, and some journalists were preparing her obituary.
This week, she was caring for her children like any mother would when she rushed 2-year-old Jayden James to a hospital after a bad reaction to something he ate. As for her career, only one week ago she was on stage performing with Madonna and on the brink of an extraordinary musical comeback.
Industry watchers wonder whether Spears, 26, can win back the young, fickle fans now accustomed to watching her fall apart, or if she can stage a comeback like pop diva Mariah Carey. She spent several years in a slump before rebounding to charttopper status with 2005 album "The Emancipation of Mimi."
"You can only have so many second chances and this is definitely one of those now or never moments," said Ellen Carpenter, a senior editor at Spin magazine.
Ten years after she burst onto the world stage as a perky 17-year-old and scored hit songs including "... Baby One More Time," Spears seems to have pulled her life and career out of the toilet with a hit single, a new album due out in December, a tell-all documentary and talk of her first tour since 2004.
Spears' first single "Womanizer," off her Dec 2. album "Circus," was a good omen. It leapt to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart in October and went to No.1 on iTunes charts in Canada, France, Spain and Sweden.
But in an era of falling record sales, the big money in the music industry is made through live shows. Spears, who has done only a handful of live performances since 2005, is expected to launch a world tour early next year.
"Nothing in this economic environment is a slam dunk," said Gary Bongiovanni, editor of concert magazine Pollstar.
"When an artist stays off the scene for a couple of years, it is impossible to tell how much that audience has gravitated elsewhere until you put tickets on sale," Bongiovanni said.
Spears made headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2007 and early 2008 -- shaving her head, partying without panties, two hospitalizations for psychiatric checks, losing custody of her sons and giving a laughable performance at an MTV Awards show.
As the sexy young pop star who sold more than 60 million records in her heyday gave way to an erratic, disheveled divorcee, her musical and personal obituary was being written.
"Last year, it didn't seem like she would ever come out of it. Her falling apart was bigger than anybody, even Michael Jackson. I don't know if anyone in pop music has fallen that low and come back," Carpenter said.
But since February, when Spears' father Jamie took over her business and personal affairs, the singer has reunited with the manager who made her a star, won three MTV Video Music Awards, recorded her sixth studio album and relaunched her Web site.
She will mark the release of "Circus" with a November 30 TV documentary about her darkest days and an appearance, on her 27th birthday, on U.S. TV chat show "Good Morning America."
Still, Bongiovanni said it may be hard for fans to separate Spears the pop star from Spears the pop problem. "Are they coming to see you because they think a train wreck is about to happen, or because they really like your music?" he said.

Also according to japanise site BMGjapan.com, “Amnesia” is set to be a second bonus track after “Radar,” on Britney’s upcoming album, Circus.
Madonna has shown her unremitting support for Britney Spears, insisting that the media needs to "step off" the troubled singer.
In a recent interview with the “Yo on E!" satellite radio show, Madonna urged everyone to save the fading pop star. "They need to step off. For real...Let's go save her," E! Online quoted her, as telling the radio show.
The ‘Material Girl" singer revealed that Spears remains the favourite artist of her 11-year-old daughter Lourdes. Madonna, who"s married to film director Guy Ritchie, added that Lourdes “gets the drift of what"s going on, and I think she feels very protective of Britney."
She also insisted that like her daughter, she also remains a supporter of the beleaguered star.
Madonna recently revealed that she enjoys listening to Spears' Blackout album while exercising.
Britney and Madonna famously locked lips on the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards and collaborated on the song "Me Against the Music."
Madonna also said that she plans to spend the summer in New York and may go on tour in the fall to promote her new album, Hard Candy, due to be out April 29.
Latest: Actor Neil Patrick Harris is raving about Britney Spears' return to acting - even though the pop star refused to take off her sunglasses for an in-studio read-through.
Spears is playing a secretary opposite Harris in an upcoming episode of U.S.
TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother - and the actor was impressed with the troubled Toxic singer's professionalism when it came time to act.
He says, "She's good. We did the run through on Tuesday, she seemed a little nervous, she wore the big sunglasses the whole time.
"I think that's a bit of a security blanket. But she seems very professional".
And Harris insists that working closely with Spears gave him a special insight into her personal troubles.
He adds, "Being up close to her, she seems like a very sort of fragile, kind of complicated person; it must be very strange to live in her life".
The episode featuring Spears will air in America on 24 March 08.
Meanwhile in seperate news it was reported Britney Spears is "having a blast" in her latest incarnation as a sitcom actress.

Britney Spears' paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has stunned his friends by insisting the singer is expecting his baby.
Pals of the British-born photographer claim he targetted Spears in a bid to make her pregnant, and is bragging that he has succeeded.
The claims appear in the current edition of U.S. magazine Star, alongside pictures of Spears with what appears to be a bulging tummy.
A friend tells the magazine, "Britney is Adnan's dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with her, he'd be made for life.
"Adnan is a social climber who uses women to get what he wants".
Ghalib has previously revealed Spears really thought she was pregnant with his child when they were snapped buying pregnancy tests in January 2008
