Britney Spears' Mystery Man Identified 7/31/08

The man photographed frolicking on holiday with Britney Spears has been identified as one of her bodyguards - sparking rumors of a possible romance between the pair.

The Toxic star is currently enjoying a sunshine break in Mexico and has been snapped dancing and playing in the sea with her minder Lee, a former soldier in the Israeli army who has reportedly worked for Spears for six months.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Britney and Lee hit it off immediately. He is her perfect type. They've spent so much time together that one thing led to another and their relationship became physical. "They are in Mexico together.

They've been having a great time - Lee put a smile on her face." It is not the first time Spears has been romantically linked to an employee - the star met her ex-husband Kevin Federline while he was working as one of her backing dancers. She has also previously dated Adnan Ghalib - a member of the paparazzi.
