Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are engaged.

Spears shared the news by posting a video to social media. “Look at that! You like it?” Asghari can be heard asking Spears in the video. “Yes,” the singer replies.

Spears captioned the post: “I can’t fu**ing believe it”.

The 39-year-old singer and Asghari have been dating for almost five years.

“The couple made their longstanding relationship official today and are deeply touched by the support, dedication and love expressed to them,” Asghari’s talent manager, Brandon Cohen, told Page Six.

The model and dancer met Spears on set of her ‘Slumber Party’ music video in 2016.

The news comes just days after her father petitioned to end his court-ordered conservatorship.

Asghari has supported the pop-star during the final years of her 13-year conservatorship, under which her father, Jamie, had full control over her.

Spears has repeatedly lashed out at her father over the conservatorship, claiming in court testimonies and social media posts the arrangement amounted to “cruelty,” and accusing him of profiting from the system.

Britney alleged in court that she had been prevented from having a contraceptive IUD removed, despite wanting more children, and was forcefully put on medication that made her feel “drunk.” Jamie Spears’ removal has been a longstanding demand of devoted global fans campaigning under the #FreeBritney slogan.
