Britney Spears says her dad ran background check on her boyfriend

NEW YORK: Looks like pop princess Britney Spears has finally found true love.

“I am in love…I like the fact that (her boyfriend David Lucado is) very stubborn and he’s stuck in his ways. He’s just a simple man. I adore him. He’s really funny and he’s really passionate. I love the fact that anything he’s involved in he’s passionate about and it’s contagious,’’ Britney tells Entertainment Tonight.

The 31-year-old pop diva met Lucado through friends nine months ago – about a month after she broke off her engagement to Jason Trawick.

Having had two failed marriages and two other relationships in her love life, Britney’s father got a little protective about his daughter this time as he ran a background check on Lucado who comes from Virginia.

“My dad’s a little crazy like that,’’ Britney said, and added that she would like to have more children.

But as of now, Britney and Lucado live separately even though they spend a lot of time together.
