Britney Spears' former manager Larry Rudolph has confirmed reports that they are back on speaking terms.
The pop princess fired Rudolph after he helped her parents to stage an intervention to get Spears into rehab.
However Rudolph has said that he and Spears have recently spent time together and he reports the singer is "doing great".
According to America's US Weekly magazine, he said: "I have spent time with her and she is on the right path because she has people around her who really care about her well-being."
He added: "This isn't the time to talk business. This is a time for healing."
Rudolph managed the pop star for nine years after discovering her when she was a teenager.
