Britney Spears might be giving marriage the old college try with boyfriend Jason Trawick. Third time’s a charm, blah blah blah. Try and act interested, okay? Says Digital Spy,

Speculation that Trawick was planning to pop the question first emerged online this week, when a source claimed that he asked Spears’s father Jamie for permission to propose.

Another source close to the couple has told Us Weekly that Spears accepted Trawick’s marriage proposal during a private meal on Thursday (December 15).

The insider told the website: “This is something they’ve both wanted for a long time. It’s a way to cement their family. They’re both extremely happy and can’t wait to become man and wife.”

Spears has not officially confirmed the engagement, but did tweet on Friday (December 16) that Trawick has given her a very special present.

She tweeted: “OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I’ve been waiting for. Can’t wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo.”

A rep for the ‘Criminal’ singer hasn’t commented on the engagement rumors yet.

Yes, Britney might have a new engagement ring, but it’s also possible that he got her a new set of extensions and a bag of Cheetos. Don’t underestimate the power of bright orange artificially-cheese-flavored snacks and a new weave to get a girl excited.
