Musician Britney Spears on Monday announced that she is expecting a baby after pregnancy became a major issue in her conservatorship battle that ended less than six months ago.

The "Toxic" singer told fans about her pregnancy on Instagram, and in the post, she also referred to her fiance, Sam Asghari, as her husband.

"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 wrote.

The 40-year-old Spears was released from her conservatorship in November 2021.
