Britney Spears is "grateful" for family time.

The pop star was enjoying a day at the beach this weekend, and took a moment to share her gratitude with Facebook fans Sunday.

Sharing a photo of herself being whisked off her feet in front of the waves, accompanied by sons Jayden and Sean, Britney gushed: "So grateful for family time this weekend. my boys!"

The man lifting the star in the air shielded his face with dark glasses despite the overcast day.

However, recent reports have suggested Britney has found love with Charlie Ebersol, the son of Saturday Night Live co-founder Dick Ebersol.

The 32-year-old singer's new relationship is said to be moving along quickly, with a source telling British magazine Heat last month she's already asked Charlie to live with her at her California home when she's on break from her residency in Las Vegas.

"He's swept Britney off her feet. She's met his family, they're planning to attend a friend of Britney's wedding in LA this week," the insider said.

The star has tweeted pictures of herself with Charlie, who works as a writer and producer, in the past.

Her father Jamie is said to be happy about the coupling, with claims he might also have had a hand in introducing the pair following the demise of Britney's relationship with ex-boyfriend David Lucado back in August.

"Britney's much happier when she has a man. And Charlie's perfect for her," the insider said.
