Pop star Britney Spears is making secret phone calls to ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.

The singer, who dated the British photographer for about three months, has contacted her ex-love in recent weeks.

"She says she's not living the life she wants. She really wants to get back together with Adnan," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

If she has made contact with her ex-love, it goes against the restraining order placed upon Ghalib and her former manager Sam Lutfi in January 2009, after the duo were allegedly found plotting to take over her affairs.

Spears has been dating her former manager Jason Trawick, 38, since March 2009.
