Perry TaylorPerry TaylorWe've all heard the rumblings about Britney Spears and hubby Kevin Federline heading for Splitsville...

But, as far as we know, they haven't called it a day just yet.

So, just who is the new guy on the scene that has got tongues wagging?

Before the gossip goes into overdrive, we'd better explain that he's a new member of Britters' staff.

She's hired a former lacrosse coach to help look after her eight-month-old son Sean Preston.

Perry Taylor, 28, has been dubbed Brit's new "manny" (male nanny) and has been oft-spotted with Britney and baby Sean over the last few weeks.

His mum Caroline told TMZ.com that Perry had trained to go into the US Navy and wanted to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan... but "the women in his life talked him out of it."

Bless.

With Britney expecting her second baby, he'd better get some practice in with those nappies.
