Britney Spears and husband
Kevin Federline have borrowed
$5 million as
speculation grows that their
spend, spend, spend lifestyle is causing
a cash crunch.
Two loans for $4 million and $1 million
were taken out in May against their
Malibu, Calif., mansion. No details
have emerged for the reason behind the
bank payout, but rumors have been
swirling over the couple's finances.
Pregnant Britney, 23, has put her career
on hold as she prepares for
motherhood. And while she is a multimillionaire,
much of her cash is tied up
in real estate.
In addition, their eight-bedroom,
eight bathroom Malibu house is undergoing
expensive renovations. And
to add to their bills, the couple have
been living it up in $3,000-a-night
hotel suites in L.A.
According to New York columnist
Cindy Adams, such a free-wheeling
lifestyle is taking its toll on Britney's
bank accounts. Federline, 27, also has
to pay support to his two children with
ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson.
Said Adams: "She's a kid, not used to
budgeting... and, suddenly, not only is
she the [sole] support, she's also supporting
Kevin's prefabricated family."
