Britney Spears has announced good news to her fans. Five months after being released by the courts from the guardianship of her father, the American pop star announced on Monday that she was pregnant with her third child.
“I took a pregnancy test… Uh well… I’m expecting a baby,” she wrote on Instagram, her preferred channel of communication during the 13 years of guardianship exercised mainly by her father Jamie Spears. On the social network, she even mentions the possibility of being pregnant with twins and calls her fiancé Sam Asghari, a 28-year-old sports coach met in 2016 on the set of a clip, “my husband”.
A traumatic guardianship
After months of twists and turns, a Los Angeles court decided on November 12 to return control of her personal life to the singer by ending the guardianship measure, which she described as “abusive”. At the end of June, the one who had been revealed as a teenager by several planetary hits including…Baby One More Time in 1998, had struck the spirits by telling the court that she was “traumatized” by her guardianship. Britney Spears then explained that she had not been able to have her IUD removed, when she wanted to have other children.
On her Instagram post on Monday, under the photo of a cup and pink carnations, she evokes her past pregnancies and the fact of having already fallen into “perinatal depression”. Britney Spears, who turned 40 on December 2, is the mother of two boys, now teenagers, of whom her ex-husband Kevin Federline has obtained primary custody.
