Britney Spears' first husband told "A Current Affair" in an exclusive interview that their short-lived marriage was her idea.

"She proposed to me," Jason Alexander said of their 55-hour marriage. "She asked me to marry her."

Alexander also told the syndicated tabloid TV show his union with the pop princess "was consummated" even though they "never got around" to having an official honeymoon. He said a lot of people urged him to fight the annulment, which he described as a "real eye opener."

However, he described Spears' current husband, Kevin Federline, as "a really cool guy" and predicted his pregnant ex will be a good mother and wife. "I'm just happy for her and I hope the best for her," he said in the interview scheduled to air Friday.
