“It is with the deepest sadness that we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby during pregnancy,” reads this post from the 40-year-old singer, already a mother of two, and her partner, 28.
On April 11, the singer, revealed as a teenager by several planetary hits including “…Baby One More Time”, in 1998, wrote on Instagram: “I took a pregnancy test… Uh well… I am expecting a baby”.
The news fell five months after American justice in Los Angeles (west) had given him control over his personal life by ending the guardianship exercised mainly by his father Jamie Spears.

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari, who met in 2016, added that they “will continue to try to expand their lovely family” and asked that in the meantime, we “respect their privacy at this difficult time”.
The singer already has two boys, Sean and Jayden, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Sam Asghari, whom the singer happily calls her “husband”, was delighted with the announcement of the pregnancy in a separate post: “Fatherhood is something that I have always hoped for and that I do not take lightly. . This is the most important job I will have to do”.
