The rumors that Britney Spears may have found new love in rehab gained some steam this week as Jason Filyaw has admitted that he grew very close to the "Toxic" singer with the shaved head and that their relationship is so special he actually used the L-word. Britney Spears and Jason Filyaw grew close at the Promises Rehab Center, where Britney has been trying to deal with the demons that led to her very unusual behavior in the last few months, including the famous head-shaving incident and a few stories about passing out in nightclubs and forgetting to wear her panties. Jason Filyaw, the lead singer of the rock band RIVA, says that he met Britney Spears a long time ago (back in 2003), but that they didn't grow close until their trip to Promises.

TMZ actually spoke to Jason Filyaw about Britney Spears and he told the website that they have been "growing very close" ever since their "special" relationship began at Promises. Filyaw wouldn't confirm that he's dating Britney Spears, but he did tell TMZ, "I love her, I support her 100% and we are close." Jason Filyaw, who TMZ describes as "very spiritual", has been attending AA meetings with BritBrit and has been helping Spears with the spiritually deep part of her recovery.

Britney Spears and Jason Filyaw met in 2003 when Filyaw recorded some music with Spears at The Hit Factory in New York. Filyaw tells TMZ that he kept in touch with Spears after that initial meeting when the two worked together but "a few weeks ago...we met up again at a Los Angeles AA meeting."

A source tells The National Enquirer that Jason Filyaw was the tower of strength for Britney Spears while she was in rehab and that "Britney adores Jason." The source tells the tabloid, "He's been a tower of strength for her at the lowest point in her life. She's convinced Jason can help her through rehab because, as an alcoholic, he's been through the same thing."

Playfuls is actually reporting that Jason Filywaw and Britney Spears, who is still in the middle of a high-profile divorce with Kevin Federline, may actually move in together soon. The site claims that sources report that they call and email each other constantly and that Britney Spears and Jason Filyaw already have sappy pet names for each other with Britney calling Jason "Mr. Secret Underground Guy" and "J-Sun" and Filyaw calling Spears "Sugar," "Kitten," and "My Lady". They're cute and clever!

Another source quoted by Playfuls claims that Jason Filyaw is the only thing on the bald mind of Britney Spears - "I couldn't get a word in. All she wanted to do was talk about how she has finally found her true love and that she knows it is serious this time. She said they connected on a deeper level than she had ever connected with someone before."

Here's something that Sean Preston and Jayden James, the two children that Britney Spears had with Kevin Federline, should never have to read - the source was also quoted by Playfuls as saying "She said that she wished that she could go back into time and change the past. When I asked what she meant by that, she said that she would have never married Kevin or had any children."

Britney Spears did marry Kevin Federline and have two kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James. The two split last November and Britney Spears has been more prominent than ever, with many fans startled at the "Toxic" singer's bizarre behavior that eventually led her to Promises for rehab and, just maybe, love.
