Britney Spears has unloaded her house in Malibu for just under $12 million! A friend of the Spears family tells Life & Style that the seven-bedroom mansion, purchased by an anonymous buyer, sits on a 1.53-acre hilltop site in the gated Serra Retreat section of Malibu.

A Spears family friend says the long-awaited sale of the Malibu mansion Britney shared with ex-hubby Kevin Federline during their marriage was the last roadblock to finally settling their divorce. “They were just waiting on the sale of the house. Now Kevin gets his money,” the friend says.

Brit first put the house on the market last November for $13.5 million, but cut the price in March when no serious buyers emerged.

Britney’s other LA-area mansion, a six-bedroom house in Beverly Hills, remains on the market for just under $7.5 million.

Britney, meanwhile, is living full time in the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

The friend says that the “mystery man” who escorted Britney to several LA clubs over the weekend is real estate agent Justin Mandile, 25, whose father, Drew Mandile’s firm sold Britney’s Malibu house.
