Britney Spears has reportedly found new love with television producer Charlie Ebersol, just two months after her messy breakup with David Lucado.

Who Is Charlie Ebersol?

Spears broke up with Lucado in late August after Lucado reportedly cheated on her, and, while the breakup was tough on the pop princess, it seems she has rebounded with a new man. Ebersol, son of Saturday Night Live producer Dick Ebersol and actress Susan Saint James, is a successful producer, who works on CNBC’s The Profit and is listed as a producer of Space Jam 2.

“They met through friends. He is the sweetest guy ever and they are very much enjoying getting to know one another. They are both very happy and having fun. It’s just the beginning so no idea if it will become serious, but right now they are having a lot of fun together,” a source told E! News.

Ebersol reportedly got into producing after he was involved in a private plane crash, which killed his younger brother, Teddy, in 2004.

“When the plane settled, and I got my father off and I got off, the first thing my mom said was ‘You can be sad, but not mad sad. You have to make a purpose, you have to take control of your life,’” Ebersol said in an interview with Today in 2013.

That moment prompted Ebersol to sell his business and go after his dream to work in television. Ebersol also founded his own entertainment company, the Ebersol & Lanigan Company.

While little is known about Spears’ relationship with Ebersol, it seems likely that Spears has the approval of Ebersol’s family. In late September, Susan Saint James tweeted about Spears’ new bob haircut, writing, “LOVE IT.”
