BRITNEY Spears’ fiancé Sam Asghari confirmed that they’re expecting their first baby together.
The news comes after the Circus singer’s unconventional social media announcement.
On Monday, Sam shared an image of three painted lions snuggling together on his Instagram account.
The photo showed a lion, lioness and a cub – seemingly symbolizing the actor, Britney and their impending bundle of joy.
In the caption, he gushed about fatherhood, revealing that it’s something he’s been looking forward to for some time.
Sam captioned the post: “Marriage and kids are a natural part of a strong relationship filled with love and respect.

“Fatherhood is something I have always looked forward to and I don’t take lightly.”
The star concluded: “It is the most important job I will ever do.”
Fans flocked to the comments with supportive messages.
Many simply flooded the section with hearts and clapping emojis.
Sam’s post came hours after his future wife announced that they were expecting their first child together.
On Monday, Britney took to Instagram to post a photo of pink flowers and a tiny tea cup, announcing in the caption: “I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back.
“I thought ‘Geez… what happened to my stomach?’ My husband said, ‘No, you’re food pregnant, silly.’
“So I got a pregnancy test… and uh well… I am having a baby… four days later…”
She continued: “I am having a baby… It’s growing! If two are in there I might just loose it.”
Britney went on to reveal her plans for the future now that she is expecting: “I obviously won’t be going out as much due to the paps getting their money shot of me like they unfortunately already have.
“It’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression. I have to say it is absolutely horrible. Women didn’t talk about it back then… but now women talk about it everyday!”
Britney’s message concluded: “… This time I will be doing yoga every day! Spreading lots of joy and love.”
Fans appeared shocked as they rushed to the comments section.
One such fan wrote: “Oh my God! Congrats Britney!!”
Another added: “Sending you so much love, Britney!” as one user chimed in, “Yes baby!”
However, some were left confused by the post.
One wrote: “Britney is this a pregnancy announcement or not? I’m confused.”
Britney and Sam both were open about their desire to have a child long before they announced that a baby was on the way.
In 2021, the Louisiana native’s beau hinted that the couple were hoping to have a child.
After previously teasing a “new addition” to their family, which turned out to be a puppy, Sam opened up to TMZ about he and Britney’s holiday plans.
Asked by a reporter: “What are you and Britney’s plans for Christmas?” Sam responded, “Baby making.”
The reporter then probed: “Anything special?” to which the model again said, “Baby making. A lot of baby making.”
The Grammy winner is already mom to two boys, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
While she hasn’t confirmed the gender of her new baby, fans are speculating that she’s dropping hints.
A source previously told The Sun that the mom of two is hoping to have a baby girl.
“Britney definitely wants more kids and she would be so happy and grateful with another son but deep down, her desire is to be a mama to a little girl,” the insider shared.
They continued: “She wants to pass down her dresses and take her daughter to dance class, things her sons are not interested in.”
“… It could potentially happen soon but that’s not her main focus right now. They both want children together and now there’s nothing stopping her,” the source said at the time.
