(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Britney Spears recent Hawaii holiday with Jason Trawick brought them closer together than ever.

The couple have been dating for around a year, and there have been rumours they are considering tying the knot. The pair spent two weeks together in Maui, Hawaii, earlier this month, and sources say taking time away from their everyday lives has made them realise how happy they are together.

Spending time alone in Hawaii definitely brought them even closer together. They both have the same long-term view of the relationship, a source explained. When she gets engaged, they will announce it. It wont be a secret.

Britney and Jason and understood to have already discussed marriage, but dont want to rush things. Britney has walked down the aisle twice before and has two sons with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, and is determined to put the boys first.

Jason is also wary of rushing things, and wants to make sure Sean Preston, five, and four-year-old Jayden James are totally comfortable before making things more permanent.

If everything goes to plan, theyll be engaged within a year, the source told Us Magazine. (C) Cover Media
