Britney Spears back with Adnan Ghalib, is it because of fear he will release sex tape?

Britney Spears and photographer, Adnan Ghalib, back together? Sources say it is because he has a sex tape she doesn't want released.

Britney Spears seems to have reconciled with ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib recently.

Britney, 26, and Adnan the celebrity photographer, 36, had not been seen together since the troubled singer was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment back in January.

Jamie Spears, Britney's dad, seems to disapprove of Adnan, but it's being reported that Britney and Adnan have been back together in the past couple of weeks.

Adnan has recently been seen driving into the gated community in the Hollywood Hills where Britney is living with her father.

Sources claim the two are not only back together “out of love”, but that Britney is afraid that Adnan has an explicit sex video of the couple, taken on their trip to Mexico.

“Britney's really scared that Adnan has a sex tape,” MailOnline is reporting.

“She wants to get it out of his hands.”

Britney's father, Jamie, thinks Adnan is up to “no good”. Perhaps he is right as Ghalib offered to sell a kiss-and-tell style interview about his time with Britney Spears to a British Sunday tabloid after the two split.

Apparently, there were just too many discrepancies in his interview.

Adnan Ghalib recently admitted that he had gone into hiding after numerous death threats from Britney's angry fans.

Adnan said in Heat magazine: “I have had many calls about it (the sex tape) from all over the world. In light of the constant calls about the sex tape and threats, I'm taking a break from the industry and keeping a low profile.”

Adnan Ghalib was even stabbed in the arm back in April, in Los Angeles.

He said: “Yes I was injured by an attacker. This is still being investigated. I can't say much about the cowardly attack other than: a) you better come a lot stronger than that if you want to make a point and b) most will be surprised by those behind it.”

Britney Spears and Adnan Ghalib started dating around Christmas after Ghalib spent months photographing the star.

Britney truly stunned her fans when she started dating Adnan last Christmas after years of complaining about all the paparazzi attention. Their relationship seemed to have ended in January after Britney's “meltdown”.

So do you think Adnan is good for Britney or do you think he is blackmailing her with the sex tape?
