Britney Spears has seemingly announced she is a married woman, alongside sharing the joyous news she is expecting her third child.
The pop icon, 40, took to Instagram on Monday night to reveal she was "having a baby" - referring to fiancé Sam Asghari as her 'husband' throughout the happy announcement.
The announcement comes after the singer's conservatorship finally ended in November after 13 years, which prevented her from having any more children or marrying Sam.
Actor Sam, 28, popped the question last year, with the happy couple going on to share their engagement news on social media in September 2021.
Writing on Monday, mum-to-be Britney told her 40.3million followers she will welcome her third child into the world later this year.
"I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back [confused emojis] … 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," she began her heartwarming update with.
This isn't the first time Britney has referred to her beau as her husband online.
Over the weekend, the Grammy award-winning star shared a snap of her partner of six-years on Instagram, and once again referred to the personal trainer and actor as her husband in the caption.
If Britney has tied the knot with the hunky actor, it will be her third marriage - after previously walking down to aisle in Las Vegas with Jason Alexander in 2004, and her three-year union with the father of her two children, dancer Kevin Federline.
Parents-to-be Sam and Britney have been dating since 2016 and were first romantically linked after they met on the set of the singer's Slumber Party music video.
After the pair announced their engagement last year, Sam's manager Brandon Cohen also shared a statement saying he is "proud to celebrate and confirm the engagement".
He said: "The couple made their long-standing relationship official today and are deeply touched by the support, dedication and love expressed to them."
Brandon added that the beautiful new ring was designed by New York City jeweller Roman Malayev.
"He couldn't be happier to be involved and make this one-of-a-kind ring," Brandon continued.
While Britney is already a doting mum to teenage sons Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, Sam is set to become a dad for the first time when the legendary singer gives birth later this year.
The star's pregnancy announcement comes after the world was horrified to learn last year that she was unable to take control of her own family-planning choices.
In September 2021, Britney told a court how her conservatorship was preventing her from getting married and removing an IUD (a form of contraception ) from her body.
"I want to be able to get married and have a baby," she told the court. "I was told right now in the conservatorship I am not able to get married or have a baby."
Less than a year on, it seems like the singer has finally got her happy ending.
