Britney Spears is pregnant with her third child, the pop star announced on social media Monday.
Spears, 40, shared the news on Instagram alongside a photo of a cup of tea surrounded by flowers. Spears wrote she "got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby."
She explained she was confused about what was going on with her body when she "lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back.
"I thought 'Geez … what happened to my stomach ???' " she wrote, noting Sam Asghari, whom she's referred to as her "husband" in recent Instagram posts, told her she was "food pregnant."
Spears said four days after taking the pregnancy test, "I got a little more food pregnant 🤰ðŸ¼ðŸ™ˆðŸ™ˆðŸ™ˆ It’s growing!"
Asghari also shared the exciting news on Instagram, writing: "Marriage and kids are a natural part of a strong relationship filled with love and respect," alongside a sketch of two lions with their cub.
"Fatherhood is something i have always looked forward to and i don’t take lightly," he continued in the caption. "It is the most important job i will ever do."
USA TODAY has reached out to Spears' lawyer for comment.
The "Gimme More" artist noted she wouldn't be appearing in public much because she wants to avoid the paparazzi while out. Spears also opened up about her mental health during a previous pregnancy.
"It’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression … I have to say it is absolutely horrible," she wrote. "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."
She concluded the post writing: "This time I will be doing yoga ðŸ§˜â™€ï¸ every day !!! Spreading lots of joy and love."
Spears further marked her pregnancy in a follow-up video on Instagram Tuesday, giving fans a mini fashion show.
"I have to model my clothes now before I really start showing," Spears playfully captioned the post. "I actually do have a small belly here but at least my pants fit … Well barely." Read More…
