Britney Spears is about to become a mum once again as the singer has announced she is expecting her first child with fiance Sam Asghari.
Spears, who emerged victorious from her conservatorship battle late in 2021, had previously told the court that she'd wanted to have children with Sam but had been forced to use birth control.
Her conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, and now the singer has sent fans into meltdown with her pregnancy announcement.
Here's what you need to know about her children from her previous marriage with Kevin Federline and her relationship with Sam Asghari.
How many children does Britney Spears have?
Britney Spears is about to become a mum-of-three. While she is pregnant with her first child with current partner Sam Asghari, Britney has two sons - Sean Preston Federline, 16, and 15-year-old Jayden James Federline - from her previous marriage.
She shares both children with Kevin Federline, one of her former backup dancers who she first met in 2004. Both boys are said to be into music, just like their mother.
An insider previously told Us Weekly that both kids love rap and EDM: "Sean Preston, in particular, is a big fan of synthesisers and likes to toy around with deejaying in his spare time. Jayden has said that he wants to be a producer when he is older."
Both of them have generally stayed out of the public eye as they've grown up, due to the custody arrangement with Kevin as well as the boys inclination to simply be teens, hanging out with their friends.
Britney and Kevin had a whirlwind romance from meeting and marrying in 2004 to divorcing in 2006, just two months after Jayden was born.
Though Britney lost custody of her young songs following a mental breakdown the following year, she gained some of it back sharing 50/50 custody until 2019 when Kevin accused Jamie Spears of being involved in a physical altercation with eldest son Sean.
The former couple, who still enjoy an amicable relationship, share 70/30 custody of their sons. Kevin has spoken highly of his ex-wife, saying: "Britney is an awesome mom. That’s one thing I never really have to worry about."
Who is Sam Asghari?
Sam Asghari met Britney on the set of her Slumber Party music video in 2016, and the pair have been together since.
Asghari, who was born in Tehran, Iran, as the youngest of four children, immigrated to America and settled in Los Angeles when he was 12 years old, according to Men's Health. He is a personal trainer who runs Asghari Fitness.
After Spears received support from around the world over her conservatorship battle, Asghari spoke up about their private relationship.
He said: "I have always wanted nothing but the best for my better half, and will continue to support her following her dreams and creating the future she wants and deserves.
"I am thankful for all of the love and support she is receiving from her fans all over the world, and I am looking forward to a normal, amazing future together."
