Britney Spears' boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has been hiding a secret first wife - a marriage even the bride's parents did not know about. Birmingham born paparazzo Adnan is being divorced by current wife Azlynn Berry, 26, after watching him playing around with famous new love Britney Spears.
But now it has emerged he was actually secretly married before that - at the same time as he applied for a Green Card in the States.
Now legal experts say that if he did not declare that he was divorced it could threaten the status of his residency - and get him kicked out of America. "He cold certainly get deported," said immigration lawyer Brad June.
News of the short-lived marriage has also stunned his first bride Chelsea Weinper's family. "I am in complete shock," Chelsea's dad Brad Weinper sad after being told the news.
"He had to have duped her into marrying him.
He added: "I didn't like him from the moment I laid eyes on him.
"I'm just glad I never knew about this marriage until now. I would have hated knowing I was his father in law."
Court papers show that Adnan, now 35, wed Chelsea in May 2001 in California.
But they filed for divorce just six months later, claiming they had separated after just 85 days with the divorce finalized in July 2001.
Legal experts say that if he did not declare the divorce when he applied for his Green Card it could still affect his rights to live in the States.
"After a person marries an American citizen, it takes more than a couple of months to process a U.S. residency request," said immigration lawyer Brad June.
"If the government granted residency after this couple divorced, and if this gentleman had not revealed he was divorced - then he could certainly be deported."
The expert says that even though he married a second time, yet again to be American, it makes no difference.
"Whether or not he got married again is irrelevant," Brad June insisted.
"If there are legal inconsistencies with his time in the United States, this could lead to a deportation."
Chelsea's dad says his daughter met Adnan while she was on holiday in Europe, and he followed her back to America.
"I knew Chelsea was dating Adnan, but there's no way she was in love with him," Mr Weinper insists. "He had to have duped her into marrying him.
"I didn't like him from the moment I laid eyes on him - and if he tricked my daughter into marrying him for a green card, then that just shows us what type of person he is."
