Us Weekly has confirmed that Britney Spears IS dating her current bodyguard despite previous reports claiming otherwise. His name is Damon and that’s about all we know at this point. The pair shared a romantic candlelit dinner and had a slumber party on the 4th. The following day they watched Wicked (which I STILL HAVEN’T SEEN YET!) and smooched a bit in public. Does anyone have any expectation for this relationship?

On Sunday, he attended church services with the singer and her two sons. Damon carried Sean, 22 months, into the church (while Mom held a sleeping Jayden, 10 months) and then comforted the toddler when he started crying. The prayer session capped off a week of wining and dining for the pair, including a July 4 candlelit dinner at the Four Seasons’ Windows Lounge in L.A., after which, he slept over at her Beverly Hills pad.
On July 5, the pair hit a showing of the musical Wicked (they left after 45 minutes) and, later that evening, drinks at L.A.’s Chateau Marmont hotel, where Spears, 25, giggled and kissed her guy as he affectionately touched her face.

UPDATE: People Magazine is saying that Britney is NOT dating her manny.

“He’s her bodyguard and manny,” says a source familiar with Shippen’s employment. “They’re not dating.”
