Britney Spears Announces She’s Pregnant

Britney Spears has announced that she’s pregnant. In an Instagram post on Monday evening, Spears joked that she’d been gaining weight lately and that while her fiance, Sam Asghari, initially claimed she was “food pregnant,” she bought a pregnancy test and discovered that she is actually expecting a baby. The child will be Spears’s third and her first with Asghari.

  1. Many people didn’t know if she was joking or not. Spears has a great sense of humor and is known for saying funny, lighthearted things on Instagram. Since this wasn’t a straightforward pregnancy announcement, many didn’t know whether or not to take it seriously at first. “I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ …” she wrote. “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 😬😬😬😬😬😬 … “
  2. Spears has been dropping hints over the past week about having a baby. At one point, she posted a photo of herself being “held like a baby” by her assistant. In another post, she revealed that while coffee has never made her sick, she was unable to keep it down while on vacation in Maui. Can someone say morning sickness?
  3. She plans on keeping it low-key as she goes through the pregnancy. Spears went on to say that she plans on going out and about less often as the paparazzi are very invasive and would likely be more so now that they know she’s expecting. “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 …” Spears shared. “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 💕 !!!”
  4. Spears has said many times that she wants another child. However, she was barred from getting pregnant while under her conservatorship and was forced to take birth control throughout. Now that she’s free of the conservatorship, she’s finally able to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother again. Congrats are in order, it seems!
