Britney Spears seems to have got her groove back after twisting her ankle at the iconic Chateau Marmont.

The former pop star, 42, couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she cruised around Los Angeles over the weekend with her new felon boyfriend Paul Soliz.

She appeared to be in good spirits as she grinned from the passenger seat of the white $220K Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, allowing Paul, 37, to take charge behind the steering wheel.

The (You Drive Me) Crazy singer’s blonde hair was somewhat disheveled, making her look carefree and relaxed.

Paul was less jovial than his A-list girlfriend, instead sporting a more serious and focused expression on his face as he concentrated on the road.

The tattooed handyman, who has nine children and a criminal record, kept a low profile in a baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses.

The outing comes after Britney twisted her ankle doing cartwheels at Los Angeles hotspot the Chateau Marmont.

A source told Dailymail.com that she was in the company of Paul, and that both appeared to be significantly intoxicated and had been refused additional drinks by the bar staff.

‘One thing was certain: they certainly didn’t need any more alcohol,’ the source shared.

Britney sparked concern among her fans earlier on Monday when she said on Instagram that she ‘might have to get surgery’ on her ankle.

She also denied that she’d suffered any kind of ‘breakdown’ at the Chateau Marmont after photos were taken of her looking distressed in her underwear as she exited the hotel.

‘I feel that I was harassed and gaslit and tricked to go on the street when my car was supposed to be there!!! I was in my pajamas and yes, I had been crying because I hurt my foot,’ she wrote on Instagram.

It comes after Paul’s ex Nicole Mancilla – who is the mother of five of his nine children – called him a ‘deadbeat dad.’

She alleged to DailyMail.com that Soliz had failed to pay child support for any of his nine children.

Soliz was connected to Spears when he worked as her cleaner and handyman, though the two later allegedly struck up a romantic connection.

Nicole told DailyMail.com that he had cheated on her with the pop star, and she claimed that even though he allegedly hasn’t paid child support for his nine children, he still tries to see her occasionally at her mother’s home in Sylmar.

‘Just let them know that my husband fell in Britney Spears’ p****. He was married, and now he denies his children,’ Mancilla said. ‘He neglects his children for her.’
