Washington, Mar 16 : Britney Spears' friends have dismissed reports the singer is dating her long-time agent.

Rumours of romance started making rounds after the `Toxic' hitmaker was spotted enjoying a romantic meal with her agent Jason Trawick in between the singer''s Circus tour dates.

Reports suggested that the pair had recently begun dating, after four years of working together.

However, insiders have hit out at the rumours, insisting the two share a purely professional and platonic relationship.

"They are absolutely, 100 percent not dating. He is her agent, and that is it," Contactmusic quoted a source, as telling UsWeekly. com.

"They have never gone out on a date. He has been her agent for four years, and they are very close friends.

"Jason was on the road with Britney for three of her tour dates, but that is because that''s what agents do -- they support their clients. Any stories of them being together are completely and utterly made up," the source added. (ANI)
