Britney Spears is getting candid about her desire to expand her family amid her recent legal troubles.
“It’s an emotional day for me,, guitars remind me of baby aliens,, such gentle strings,,, music is said to be the speech of angels,, I bought this one in Mexico 🇲🇽 in hopes one day I can have another baby,” Spears, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 21, Father’s Day in the United States.
Spears also shared a video featuring the pop star dancing in a yellow dress, wearing her hair down in loose waves as she held a guitar.
The “Toxic” singer became a mom in 2005, when she welcomed son Sean Preston with then-husband Kevin Federline. The pair, who tied the knot in 2004, went on to welcome son Jayden James in 2006. That same year, Spears filed for divorce from Federline.
One decade later, Spears met personal trainer Sam Asghari on the set of her music video for “Slumber Party.” The pair went on to date for five years, announcing their engagement in 2021 and exchanging vows in 2022.
That same year, Spears announced she and Asghari were expecting their first baby together. One month later, Spears shared that she suffered a pregnancy loss.
“It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy,” the pair’s statement read via Instagram at the time. “This is a devastating time for any parent.”
The statement continued, “Perhaps we should have waited to announce until we were further along however we were overly excited to share the good news. Our love for each other is our strength. We will continue trying to expand our beautiful family. We are grateful for all of your support. We kindly ask for privacy during this difficult moment.”
The caption read, “We are grateful for what we have in the process of expanding our beautiful family 💝 Thank you for your support.”
One year later, Us Weekly confirmed that Asghari filed for divorce. Spears and Asghari’s divorce was settled in 2024.
News broke earlier this year that Spears was arrested in California on suspicion of driving under the influence of a combination of alcohol and drugs,” per a press release from the California Highway Patrol. She was then taken into custody and sent to a hospital to test her blood alcohol content, before being booked and released the next morning.
“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” Spears’ rep told Us at the time. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
The message continued, “Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue, needed plan to set her up for success for well-being.”
While Spears was seeking treatment, she was charged with driving under the influence. She accepted a plea deal in May and was sentenced to 12 months of probation and one daily in jail, which was credited with time served. Spears was also ordered to complete a DUI class and pay $571 in state-mandated fees and see a psychologist once a week and a psychiatrist twice a month.
