Earlier this month, she and Sam Asghari appeared to announce they are expecting.
Spears broke the news in the middle of an Instagram post addressing her recent weight gain.
"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 🤪 !!!'" she began.
"So I got a pregnancy test ... and uhhhhh well ... I am having a baby 👶🏼 ... 4 days later I got a little more food pregnant 🤰🏼🙈🙈🙈 It's growing!!!" she continued. "If 2 are in there … I might just loose it 😬😬😬😬😬😬 "
Saying she won't be out in public as much to avoid the paparazzi, Spears then addressed the stigma around mental health for new moms.

"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," she wrote. "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 💕 !!!"
Asghari, 28, took to Instagram a few hours after Spears' shared her post. The actor posted an image of a painting that showed a family of lions, appearing to depict a mother, father and a cub.
In the post's caption, Asghari expressed his excitement about fatherhood, calling it "the most important job" he'll "ever do."
"Marriage and kids are a natural part of a strong relationship filled with love and respect," he wrote. "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🙏."
