It looks like Britney Spears is taking a page from Eva Longoria’s playbook by reportedly having fallen hard and fast for basketball pro Luke Walton.
As we reported yesterday, speculation is rife that Britney is dating Luke, son of basketball legend Bill Walton.
A source revealed that her new beau was one of the reasons the songstress has been spotted so often at a Lakers’ game in the recent weeks.
“Britney is certainly sports-mad since dating Luke. She even chants his name when the rest of the fans do. Her face lights up when she sees him do well. She’s really fallen for him,” the Daily Mirror quoted the source, as saying.
The starlet’s pals are said to be thrilled she’s hooked up with Luke and think it might be just the thing to help her bounce back after her recent stint in rehab.
An insider said: “This is just what Britney needs. A career-driven man to keep her on the straight and narrow - not someone that she has to support. It’s early days yet but she’s happy.”
But don’t go planning a wedding shower any time soon — Luke isn’t the first man Britters has been linked to lately.
The 25-year-old was also rumoured to be stepping out with singers Jason Filyaw and Howie Day - who have have a combined police record that only a crook could admire.
