I love and cherish her and her boys and we will be close forever." Britntey's representative Jeff Raymond also confirmed the split: "Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have mutually agreed to end their one-year engagement. As two mature adults, they came to the difficult decision to go their separate ways while continuing to remain friends." Spears suffered a famously public breakdown in 2008 and as a result is currently under court-ordered conservatorship. Trawick has reportedly stepped down from the role of Spears' conservator, with the singer's father Jamie remaining in the position. Spears has two sons - Preston and Jayden - with former husband Kevin Federline.
