Britney Spears and Jason Trawick leaving a gym in Beverly Hills (10/30)

Britney Spears has been dating her agent Jason Trawick for the past two-and-a-half years. It's weird, their relationship has always seemed one more of convenience rather than based on any true feelings the two have for each other. Despite that, Britney's life has been relatively drama free since the two began dating . . . until today. Star is claiming that Jason beat Britney up earlier this year:

In our Dec. 13 issue, on sale today, Britney's former husband Jason Alexander tells Star that the pop princess confided to him that Trawick beat her — on multiple occasions.

"Britney is in an abusive relationship," the entertainer's first husband says in a detailed interview with Star. "She told me her life had turned into a nightmare."

Childhood friends Britney and Alexander stayed in touch after their 55-hour marriage was annulled in 2004. But their casual texts, phone calls and emails took a dark turn when she recently confided that Trawick "hit her so hard it gave her a black eye," Alexander says.

And the abuse wasn't a solitary incident, Alexander tells Star in our issue. Nor was it the only jaw-dropping secret the megastar told her ex! She also revealed that she had been pregnant with Trawick’s child earlier this year, Alexander says.

Radar also has audio of Britney and Jason Alexander's conversation:



Wait, that's it? We're going to destroy Jason's reputation based on a recorded phone call that may or may not even be Britney (it sounds absolutely nothing like her). And even if it is her, we're going to believe the claims of a crazy chick who used to talk in a British accent and flash her vagina more than a peace sign? I'm not buying it. A more likely story is that Britney tripped while chasing a squirrel she thought was candy or built her couch fort too high and fell off the top. Dammit Britney, I always tell her, you're not an engineer. Pottery Barn cushions can't support that kind of lateral load.
