Britney Spears is engaged, said People.com. The pop star’s boyfriend and former agent, Jason Trawick, proposed last week with a 3.5-carat diamond ring, while celebrating his 40th birthday. “He surprised her after she gave him his gifts and after they had cake,” said a source. This will be Spears’s third marriage. Her 2004 marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander was annulled after 55 hours. The same year, she married backup dancer Kevin Federline. The couple had two children before divorcing, in 2007.
