Britney Spears to vacation with Mel Gibson and wife

May 16, 2008

Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are headed to Costa Rica where they will vacation with the singer's father and Gibson's wife, a source told People magazine.

"They're just going away for a few days to relax," the source said.

The group plan to stay at Gibson's Costa Rican home. They will be back early next week.

The unlikely pair were first spotted together back in mid-March when they dined at Russian restaurant Romanov in Studio City, Calif. However, it wasn't their first meeting. Gibson and Spears and their families met many times after the pop star was hospitalized in February, a different source told People at the time.
