Britney Spears announces she is pregnant with her third child
Britney Spears and her partner Sam Asghari are expecting a baby, the pop star announced on social media on Monday.
The 40-year-old singer shared the news on Instagram along with a picture of a cup of tea surrounded by flowers. Spears wrote that she "took a pregnancy test
She explained that she was confused about what was happening to her body when she "lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip to gain it back.
"I thought 'geez... what happened to my stomach???' She wrote, noting Sam Asghari, whom she refers to as her "husband" in a recent Instagram post, told her she was "food pregnant."
Four days after taking the pregnancy test, Spears said, "I'm pregnant with a little more food. It's growing!"
Spears and Asgari, who got engaged in September 2021, have spoken candidly about their desire to have a child together.
When Spears sought to end the stereotype during court testimony last year, she testified that she wanted to have a child but that her court-ordered guardians kept her from going off birth control. In December, she teased followers with news of a "new addition to the family" before introducing her Australian Shepherd puppy named Sawyer to the world.
Britney Spears posted Monday that she "won't go out that much" to stop the paparazzi from taking pictures of her pregnant, which they sell to make money. She is the mother of two teenage sons, Sean and Jaden, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
