“Britney has a beautiful soul. We share something really special. The truth about us will come out eventually, but it’s not for me to talk about. I love her ... I still love Britney ... I’m her boyfriend.” - Adnan Ghalib on Britney Spears

According to Heat magazine, the celebrity gossip photographer insists he and the singer, who were inseparable at the beginning of 2008, are still in a relationship ... despite several restraining orders she's filed against him.

Adnan's romance with Britney was curtailed when Britney's dad Jamie became her co-conservator - gaining control of her money and affairs - in February of '08.

In that same month, Adnan was given his first temporary order requiring him to stay at least 250 yards away from Britney Spears - who was hospitalized at the time at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for observation.

Adnan abided by that until July when the order expired. However, this month Britney gained new restraining orders against Adnan and her shady former manager, Sam Lutfi, which accused them both of trying to "disrupt" the conservatorship.

In conclusion, the quote above is either made up or Adnan is just grasping at straws trying to remain in the celebrity gossip limelight these days.
