Britney Spears' paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has stunned his friends by insisting the singer is expecting his baby.
Pals of the British-born photographer claim he targetted Spears in a bid to make her pregnant, and is bragging that he has succeeded.
The claims appear in the current edition of U.S. magazine Star, alongside pictures of Spears with what appears to be a bulging tummy.
A friend tells the magazine, "Britney is Adnan's dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with her, he'd be made for life.
"Adnan is a social climber who uses women to get what he wants".
Ghalib has previously revealed Spears really thought she was pregnant with his child when they were snapped buying pregnancy tests in January 2008
