Britney Spears' ex turns to 'praying, puppies, Toy Story' to overcome breakup

Britney Spears' former boyfriend Charlie Ebersol is finding solace in praying, puppies and 'Toy Story' post their split.

The TV producer shared a video of himself on Instagram, where he's snuggling with a puppy to the tune of Randy Newman's 'You've Got a Friend In Me,' and captioned it with a prayer which read, "I wish for you today, that you find great joy in the joy you spark in others. If nothing else, I hope you're happy just in knowing that you made me happy. It is never lost on me the love with which I have been blessed. For that, I aim to live up to Colossians 3:12."

According to US magazine, the pair had started dating in October 2014, and was last clicked together at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards last month.

Tabloid media claimed that Ebersol came off as being in the relationship "for the wrong reasons."

Spears, who's a mom-of-two, has been married twice before, once Jason Alexander for 55 hours in 2004, and to Kevin Federline from 2004 to 2007.
