Britney Spears Broke Up With Charlie Ebersol Because He Was ‘Not Ready To Get Married’
June 23 2015, Updated 2:07 p.m. ET
After a string of tumultuous relationships, Britney Spears finally seemed to have found the perfect person to settle down with. But unfortunately for her, Charlie Ebersol didn’t feel the same way. The former couple split after eight months together because Charlie reportedly wasn’t ready to tie the knot.
“Britney had been pressuring Charlie for the last several months about getting married,” a source told RadarOnline. “She is at a point where she wants to have another child, and very much wants to be married again. Charlie had been very honest about not being ready to get married.”
Charlie unable to fully commit to the pop star at the moment forced her to end things with her former beau. “She didn’t want to just keep dating him with no plans of getting married,” the insider said.
The “Pretty Girls” singer’s “issues” also contributed to the split. “It’s a lot for a young, single bachelor to take on,” the source said. “The fact that Britney is still under a conservatorship is obviously very telling. She can’t manage her own affairs. Charlie didn’t want to become a father figure.”

Brit’s ex formed a close bond with her two sons Sean Preston, 9, and Jayden James, 8. "It is going to be so devastating to those kids because they have now witnessed their mother go through three really hard breakups,” the insider claimed. “Britney and Charlie both told them that he was going to be their daddy.”
