Britney Spears the singer, 40, announced in a joint statement with fiancé Sam Asghari via Instagram on Saturday that she suffered a miscarriage.
“It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy,” the statement read.
“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.”
Spears and Asghari, 28, added that their love for each other is their “strength” right now.
“We will continue trying to expand our beautiful family,” the statement continued. “We are grateful for all of your support. We kindly ask for privacy during this difficult moment.”
Spears announced in early April that she and Asghari were expecting their first child together, and what would have been her third. She shares two sons – Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15 – with ex Kevin Federline.
The “Gimme More” singer has been engaged to Asghari since September 2021. The fitness guru announced via his Instagram Stories last weekend that the two have finally set a wedding date.
