Britney Spears father Jamie Spears reportedly vetted her new love interest Charlie Ebersol, including making him sign a confidentiality agreement.
Jamie also made him undergo a background check, according to the new report.
An insider told Radar Online that Ebersol, 31, “completely understood when told about what it took to date Spears.”
He had to “pass through the gauntlet” but he quickly got the “seal of approval” from family and friends.
The agreement prohibits him from ever talking about his relationship with Spears, 32.
Her father actually “found” Ebersol and thought he'd be a good match for his daughter, Radar says.
“Britney and Charlie have hit it off and she has her father to thank for this,” a source said. “She said she does not know where he finds them.”
The dad-test was confirmed by the Daily Mail, who spoke to a long-time friend of Ebersol.
“Charlie had to pass the dad test for sure,” the friend said. “And Charlie had to pass legal muster, too, with that mob of lawyers that run her world.”
Spears’ finances and personal life are in the hands of lawyers and her father due to her breakdown several years ago.
After getting the approval, Ebersol was then introduced to Spears and her inner circle.
