Britney Spears taking a break from social media

Britney Spears is temporarily stepping away from social media.

“I’m going on a social media hiatus for a little while,” the pop star announced in an Instagram post Sunday. “I send my love and God bless you all.”

Spears, 40, is typically active on Instagram, where she posts dancing videos and uplifting quotes. She previously used social media to address her court-ordered conservatorship, which was terminated last November after 13 years.

The singer recently announced on Instagram that she’s expecting her third child, and first with fiancé Sam Asghari.

“So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby,” Spears wrote on April 11.

Spears’ conservatorship, which controlled the singer’s finances and other aspects of her life, came to an end following a long legal battle by the pop star, who received support from fans through the #FreeBritney online movement.

The artist has been publicly critical of her family’s support during the high publicized saga, and sparred online with sister Jamie Lynn Spears.

Spears, who won a Grammy in 2005, is an eight-time nominee at the annual music award show. She’s known for songs such as “Oops!... I Did It Again,” “...Baby One More Time” and “Toxic.”
