Britney Spears gets engaged to beau Sam Asghari, fans worried if he's a 'gold digger'

'Baby no. It's nice you are in love but give yourself a chance to breathe. One man just times your life don't let another in just yet'

Britney Spears has announced her engagement to her boyfriend Sam Asghari with an exuberant post displaying a diamond ring engraved with the word “lioness”. 

She wrote “I can’t f*cking believe it!“ with an Instagram video post in which she winks, kisses Asghari on the cheek and answers “yes!” when he asks if she likes it. Asghari, an actor and personal trainer, posted his own photo of Spears showing her ring to the camera. The latest news comes days after her father filed to end the court conservatorship that has controlled the singer’s life and money for 13 years. Asghari’s manager, Brandon Cohen, confirmed that the pair were engaged. “The couple made their long-standing relationship official today and are deeply touched by the support, dedication and love expressed to them,” he said.

As soon as the latest news came to light, people started talking about it. One person tweeted, "Pretty Sure They Are Not Going To End Her Conservatorship, So This Ought To Be Interesting." While another one said, "Just as finally her conservatorship is ending. Sure. I hope everything goes well for her but the timing on this makes you think twice." While one complemented Asghari and wrote, "They've been dating for 4 years and he's been through the worst of times with her. I'm happy for them."

Some people slammed and doubted Asghari as they wrote, "I hope he won't use you for money, Brit." While another one said, " ain't saying he's a gold digger but..." One person said, "Sam Ashgari announced that he is now engaged to a " fuction of money ""

One concerned person said, "Baby no. It's nice you are in love but give yourself a chance to breathe. One man just times your life don't let another in just yet. Iron clad prenup."

The singer told a court in June she wanted to marry Asghari and have a baby with him during an impassioned plea to end the conservatorship but said she hadn’t been allowed to remove an intrauterine device for birth control or even drive with him. Legally, Spears can get married, but the conservatorship must approve it as with other major life decisions.
Spears was previously married to Kevin Federline, with whom she shares custody of two sons, aged 14 and 15. She was briefly married to childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004.
