Britney Spears is pregnant! The pop sensation announced on April 11 that she and fiancé Sam Asghari are going to have their first baby together. The singer shared the big news on Instagram by explaining that she was confused why she was gaining so much weight after a trip to Maui with her fitness trainer fiancé. "So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby,” she said in her caption.
The pop star is already a mom of two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, from her previous marriage with Kevin Federlin. So, she continued the post by reflecting on her past experience as an expecting celebrity. “It’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression,” she wrote. “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.”
She ended the post by outlining how this pregnancy will be different. “This time I will be doing yoga 🧘♀️ every day,” she told her Instagram audience.
The couple has been engaged since September 2021, and they’ve been dating since 2016. We couldn’t be happier for them!
