Pop icon and emancipated woman Britney Spears is pregnant with her fiancé Sam Asghari. In news just in, the 40-year-old took to Instagram to announce the news and also hinted she and Asghari may already be married. The caption, which truly is too difficult to paraphrase given Spears’ endearing overuse of emojis goes like this:

“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 👶🏼 …” Spears wrote. “4 days later I got a little more food pregnant 🤰🏼🙈🙈🙈 It’s growing !!! If 2 are in there … I might just loose it 😬😬😬😬😬😬 … 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 … some people considered it dangerous if a woman complained like that with a baby inside her … but now women talk about it everyday … thank Jesus we don’t have to keep that pain a reserved proper secret 🤫 😬😬😬 … This time I will be doing yoga 🧘‍♀️ every day !!! Spreading lots of joy and love 💕 !!!”

The exciting news comes after her address to the court in her conservatorship case in which Spears claimed her father, Jamie Spears, wouldn’t allow her to “get married and have a baby.”

“I would like to progressively move forward, and I want to have the real deal,” she told the court on June 2021. “I want to be able to get married and have a baby. I have an [IUD] inside of myself so I don’t get pregnant. They don’t want me to have children—any more children.”

After 13 long years under legal guardianship of her father and those around her, Spears was freed on November 12 2021.

More to come. In the interim, the below seems fitting, no?
