Britney Spears and father Jamie are currently en-route to Costa Rice, where they will spend “a few days” relaxing with Hollywood superstar, Mel Gibson, and his wife, at the What Women Want star’s holiday home.
“They’re just going away for a few days to relax,” a source told People today.
Surprising, huh? Who would have thought that after their little meeting in the Russian restaurant Romanov, back in March, Spears and Gibson would become such close friends that they started vacationing together?
The foursome will stay in Gibson’s Costa Rican holiday home, and will be back sometime next week.
According to the source, Gibson and Spears’ new-found friendship has little to do with the fact that they used to be neighbours, and more because of what the young pop star went through at the hands of the press during her various stints in a mental asylum earlier in the year.
“Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible,” the source explained.
“There are no expectations, there is no agenda,” added the source. “It’s simply an act of human kindness.”
