In photos obtained by a news outlet, the mom-of-two, 42, can be seen standing outside the establishment in a large straw hat, sunglasses, a long-sleeved purple top, white denim cutoff shorts and a pair of platform sandals, while Soliz donned a navy and white plaid shirt, white tee, baggy navy pants and sneakers.

There were several people alongside them, though it's unclear if the individuals joined the pair for their meal.

After eating together, the troubled blonde beauty hopped into the passenger seat of her car with Soliz — who has been charged with child endangerment and unlawful possession of ammunition in the past — behind the wheel.

As OK! reported, Spears first met Soliz when he came to do handiwork at her house while she was still married to Sam Asghari, 30, but things eventually turned romantic.

Spears' inner circle was never happy about the romance, as many thought he was using her. Fears for her well-being heightened in May after paramedics were called to the Chateau Marmont, as guests thought she was having a mental breakdown after getting into an altercation with Soliz.

The "Toxic" vocalist denied the rumors and continued to see Soliz, but her "protective" brother, Bryan Spears — who had "no respect for Paul" — wanted him gone.

Sam Asghari filed for divorce from the singer in August 2023 after just one year of marriage.

As their romance moved full speed ahead, Soliz's ex Nicole Mancilla told a reporter he's bad news, claiming he's a deadbeat dad to nine kids.

"Just let them know that my husband fell in Britney Spears' p----. He was married, and now he denies his children," she spilled. "He neglects his children for her. He doesn't support any of them."
