Britney Spears’ fiancé Sam Asghari responds to her apparent pregnancy announcement with cryptic post

Sam Asghari says he is looking forward to fatherhood.

The actor opened up about having a family, hours after his partner, pop star Britney Spears, announced that she is having a baby. The couple, who have been together for five years, got engaged in September 2021.

“Marriage and kids are a natural part of a strong relationship filled with love and respect.,” Asgahari, 28, wrote on Instagram alongside a watercolor painting of a lion, lioness and their cub. “Fatherhood is something I have always looked forward to and I don’t take lightly.”

“It is the most important job I will ever do,” he concluded. The comments section was filled with congratulatory messages from fans and followers.

Spears, 40, said that she is expecting her third child in an Instagram post on Monday. She explained that she lost weight to go on her Maui trip “only to gain it back.”

“I thought ‘Geez … what happened to my stomach ???’ My husband said ‘No you’re food pregnant silly 🤪 !!!’” she wrote. “So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby.”

Spears is already a mother to sons Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, from her previous marriage to Kevin Federline.

The “Stronger” singer previously expressed her desire to “get married and have a baby” during a June 2021 court hearing for her conservatorship. At that time, she revealed that she was required to have an IUD during her 13-year conservatorship, which was terminated in November 2021.

In a deleted post shared earlier this month, the singer said that she was writing a book.

“It’s actually healing and therapeutic … it’s also hard bringing up past events in my life,” she noted.

She added that she felt it was time to “talk about” her life because she “never felt heard.”
