Pop star Britney Spears has put her relation with agent Jason Trawick on hold for sometime, even as rumors of their impending engagement was doing the rounds. The ”Hit Me Baby One More Time” hit maker has headed off to New York City to prepare for her three-day concert stint at Madison Square Garden, putting her relation with Trawick on ice, reported Ok! magazine.

While the 27-year-old singer was away, her beau was spotted on the opposite coast at West Hollywoods Crown bar, chatting with a bevy of women. "He was surrounded by girls and entertaining them," said an eyewitness.

While this certainly isnt the behaviour of a man in a relationship, Jason cant be held accountable because he and Spears are no longer romantically involved. "They are taking some time apart," says a source close to the singer, who performed the first of her Big Apple shows on August 24.

But this is only a temporary distance, as Spears”s longtime agent Trawick has been in love with her for quite some time now. "Jasons always loved her, [even] since the Justin Timberlake days, so he wont let her go easily.

Hes giving her space, thats what shes asked for," said the source. PTI BB VSS.
