Britney ‘marries in secret ceremony’

Pop star Britney Spears married her fiancé, dancer Kevin Federline, in a surprise ceremony, it was reported today.

The wedding was held on Saturday night at a private home in the Studio City area with 20 to 30 people attending, “Entertainment Tonight” said on its web site.

Nicole King, a spokeswoman for BWR Public Relations, which represents Spears, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Spears, 22, and Federline, 26, announced their engagement in June after dating since early this year.

It was the second marriage in nine months for Spears.

In January, she married childhood friend Jason Alexander in a surprise wedding in Las Vegas. That marriage was annulled 55 hours later.

Spears’ record label, Jive, released a statement saying that Spears and Alexander took a joke too far. The bride wore a baseball cap and torn jeans down the aisle and was escorted by a casino limousine driver.

Federline appeared in the movie “You Got Served” and performed as a backup dancer for singer Justin Timberlake, Spears’ former boyfriend.

He was previously involved with actress Shar Jackson of TV’s “Moesha.” They have two children – a two-year-old and a newborn.
