Pop diva Britney Spears has taken to Instagram to announce that she is pregnant with her third child. In a social media post on April 11, Spears wrote that she took a pregnancy test after her partner, Sam Asghari, teased her about being "food pregnant". Spears and Asghari, who met in 2016, became engaged in September last year. Spears has two children, Sean and Jayden, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline and this will be her first child with Asghari.

"I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back … I thought “Geez … what happened to my stomach ???” My husband said “No you’re food pregnant silly !!!” So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby … 4 days later I got a little more food pregnant It’s growing !!! If 2 are in there … I might just loose it … I obviously won’t be going out as much due to the paps getting their money shot of me like they unfortunately already have … it’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression … I have to say it is absolutely horrible … women didn’t talk about it back then … some people considered it dangerous if a woman complained like that with a baby inside her … but now women talk about it everyday … thank Jesus we don’t have to keep that pain a reserved proper secret … This time I will be doing yoga every day !!! Spreading lots of joy and love !!!" Spears wrote on Instagram.

Spears' pregnancy comes months after the 40-year-old regained her independence from a conservatorship that her father controlled for years. During the court hearings that led to the decision, she had said that she had to remain on birth control against her wishes. “I want to be able to get married and have a baby,” she told the court last year. “I was told right now in the conservatorship I am not able to get married or have a baby.” Spears' post also renewed speculation about whether she married Asghari or not, since she refers to Asghari as her 'husband' in the post. 

It also puts to rest the speculations about her pregnancy. Even as recent as April, she shared a pregnancy video on her wall where the focus lies on a heavily pregnant stomach. That was enough to set tongues wagging. At that time, there seemed to be no truth to her pregnancy rumors as it was simply a video reposted from TikTok with the username lirios9595. 

In October last year, Spears had taken to Instagram to share a strange video, seemingly joking about having a new child. The singer-songwriter, 39, smiled wide as she held up a creepy baby doll. It seemed as though Spears' fiancé Asghari was recording the video, cheering her as she did a funny dance with the doll. The video had led to speculations that she might be pregnant, which eventually turned out to be untrue. 

Spears' fans poured in congratulatory messages on social media. "It’s so crazy how Britney Spears is living out her full happy ending. She became a free woman, is seeing her sons, got away from her toxic family, is getting married, is officially pregnant, and has full control over her life and career! Honestly, I just love that all for her," one user wrote on Twitter. "Almost 10 months ago Britney Spears revealed to the world that she had to insert an IUD against her will & was not permitted to get married by her terrible family & now in April 2022 she is both happily married & pregnant...the universe is finally being kind to my angel," wrote another.

"Britney Spears broke free from her toxic family, has a new album coming, is working on a tell-all book, AND is now pregnant, all before Normani releases her first album. This is crazy," one user said, while another wrote, "Britney spears is pregnant, percy jackson casting announced and its actually good, new MoM content, stranger things posted, its a good day." "Britney Spears being able to get pregnant again after having that right taken away from her for over a decade is really really awesome," one user commented.
