Britney then revealed her future plans now that 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 every day!”

Britney concluded: “… This time I will be doing yoga every day! Spreading lots of joy and love.”

Britney’s partner Sam Asghari also confirmed the news in an Instagram post of his own, writing: “Fatherhood is something i have always looked forward to and i don’t take lightly. It is the most important job i will ever do.”

Fans were shocked as they rushed to Britney’s comments section to react, The Sun reports.

One 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 scratching their heads as one said: “Britney is this a pregnancy announcement or not? I’m confused.”

Britney posted this pic to Instagram yesterday - it's unclear if it's a recent photo.

Baby making!

All this comes as Britney’s fiancé Sam Asghari — who she continues to call her husband — hinted that the couple were hoping to have a child.

After previously teasing a “new addition” to their family, 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.”

Britney’s daughter?

A source previously told The Sun that the mother 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.

The informant then alleged that if Britney does have any more kids, they will “absolutely not” have a relationship with her parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears.

Britney has been vocal on social media about her new freedom following the end of her conservatorship in November 2021.
