Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have called it quits, the former
couple announced on Friday.
"Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have mutually agreed to
end their one-year engagement," Spears' rep said in a statement to People.
"As two mature adults, they came to the difficult decision to go their
separate ways while continuing to remain friends."
Both the pop star and her former agent made statements of their
own, with Spears adding, "Jason and I have decided to call off our
engagement. I'll always adore him and we will remain great friends."
Trawick left WME and exited his professional role with the singer
in 2011 to focus on their romantic relationship and other projects. The
marriage would have been the third for the pop star, who was previously married
to Kevin Federline and Jason Alexander, a union which was quickly annulled. In
April, Trawick was added to Spears' legal conservatorship, giving him partial
control over managing her personal affairs alongside her father, Jamie Spears.
"As this chapter ends for us a new one begins," Trawick
said in a statement, per People. "I love and cherish her and her boys and
we will be close forever."
It was a day of big news for Britney, who confirmed on Friday
that she would not be returning to "X Factor" for a second season at
the judges' table.
"I am so proud of my teens but it's time for me to get back
in the studio," she said in a separate statement. Her housecleaning
continued with a new agency, CAA, which confirmed her signing to The Hollywood Reporter
on Friday. She'd previously been repped by Trawick's WME.
With her attention back on music, the upcoming album will be her
eighth studio set, with collaborators including Will.i.am, Ester Dean and
Hit-Boy attached to the project. 2011's "Femme Fatale" marked another
addition to her collection of No. 1 albums, moving over 1 million copies.
