Newlywed Britney Spears got her brand-new hubby to ink an ironclad prenuptial agreement just days before they got hitched, The New York Post has learned.
The deal would protect the pop princess' $100 million fortune in case of another marital disaster.
Exact details of the legal document are not known, but it will come in handy if things go the way of Britney's first marriage, which imploded last January after just 55 hours.
Britney's decision to keep Kevin Federline on a short leash when it comes to access to her vast fortune is a huge relief for her parents, who'd had heated arguments with her over the need for financial protection.
Sources inside Britney's camp said the pop tart had been unwilling to get a prenup at first — claiming she and Federline were "truly in love" and didn't need one.
But Spears' mom, Lynne, her manager, Larry Rudolph, and execs at Jive Records were aghast and had spent long hours applying the screws, the sources said.
And it finally worked.
"Everything is fine. She signed a prenup. Thank God!" one source told The Post.
Another source said: "If she hadn't signed, it could have meant financial ruin for her."
In California, divorcing couples can be bound to a 50-50 split. So if Britney, 22, and Kevin, 26, were to part, it would have put half of her fortune in jeopardy.

Deeply, deeply weird.
Well, good.
At least someone sobered her up enough to make sure she isn't broke (cuz we all know she isn't going to make any more money).
Looks like some other things need covering. I will avert my eyes.

I wonder what Federline's ultimate fee will be for this little rent-a-husband gig. Britney probably took pointers from Madonna and her experience with her daddy-the-personal-trainer-sperm-donor-for-hire. Rumors were that Madonna's boy toy got $1 million for the gig. With inflation, maybe $2 million for this one? So hard to find good help these days, have to pay for it.
So Britney's parents and managers and entourage and the rest of the parasites are only looking out for her best interests? LOL!
All the guy would be entitled too in the first place would be half of her earinings after the marriage. So her current $100 million is safe. Imagine how horrible it would be if they got divorced next year and he got half of the earnings and she only had a worth of 110 million instead of 120 million. How horrible that would be for all the hangers on.
I'm certainly going to sleep better at night now.
That's a great picture. All their clothes are so similar in a trashy sandal-wearing kind of way, it's almost as if the same person were buying them, I wonder who that could be....
Ah, the famous "Massey Prenup".
