Britney Spears and her fiance Sam Asghari announced on Instagram that the pop singer suffered a miscarriage.
“It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy. This is a devastating time for any parent. Perhaps we should have waited to announce until we were further along. However, we were overly excited to share the good news.” the couple wrote in a statement.
The couple also said they will continue “trying to extend our beautiful family” and thanked fans for their support.
“We are grateful for all of your support. We kindly ask for privacy during this difficult moment.”
As previously reported, Spears announced that she was expecting her first child with Asghari in April. The singer has two sons, Sean Preston,16, and Jayden James,15, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
“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 uhhhhh well … I am having a baby ,” she wrote as a caption under an Instagram post.
Fans were reportedly confused by the post due to Spears mentioning a food baby and she said she will not be going out as much so paparazzi won’t make money from her photos.
According to Page Six, Asghari was looking forward to becoming a father in a separate statement after Spears announced her pregnancy.
“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 it lightly. It is the most important job I will ever do”
The couple announced their engagement in September 2021 and recently announced the wedding date on Instagram. However, the details surrounding the date are unknown as Asghari said the public won’t know until a day after the wedding.
