Britney Spears has revealed she is pregnant with her third child.
The 40-year-old pop star announced the news in a lengthy Instagram post on Monday morning, writing: ‘So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby.’
However, the Baby One More Time hitmaker confused fans as she added in her caption that she was ‘a little food pregnant’ and had taken a pregnancy test after noticing that she had gained weight while on vacation.
It will be the first child for the singer and fiancé Sam Asghari, while Britney has two sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15 from her previous marriage to Kevin Federline.

Announcement: The 40-year-old singer shared the news in a lengthy Instagram post
Paris Hilton was among the celebrities congratulating the star, who wrote: ‘Congratulations sis!! I’m so excited for you!! Love you!!!’
Sister Jamie Lynn Spears – who she has been feuding with over her tell-all memoir – was also seen to have liked the post.
In her announcement post, Britney also spoke about suffering perinatal depression during her first two pregnancies.
Perinatal distress is an umbrella term used to describe symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress that women may experience from conception to one year following birth.
Britney explained: ‘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.’
Last week, the mother-of-two was seen swimming naked with her assistant Vicky, after rolling around on the beach in a bikini.
Before that, Britney posted a snap of her swimming topless in the ocean while on vacation.

The pregnancy news comes after it was claimed that the Toxic singer forced onto birth control while she was under her 13-year-long conservatorship, that was terminated last November.
In a court hearing in June last year, Britney spoke out against her conservatorship publicly, as she said she feels ‘traumatized’ by the controlling system she has been placed under.
She said: ‘I am not happy, I can’t sleep. I’m so angry, it’s insane. And I’m depressed. I am traumatized. I just want my life back.
‘I want to end this conservatorship without being evaluated. This conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good. I deserve to have a life, I’ve worked my whole life. I deserve to have a two to three-year break.’
Happy news: Friends and fans rushed to congratulate the star, including Paris Hilton

The Toxic hitmaker accused her father and her conservatorship team of refusing to allow her to marry her boyfriend, Sam, 28, or have children with him.
Britney claimed her conservators have made her get an IUD as a form of birth control so she cannot currently have children, even though she wanted to ‘get married and have a baby’ with Sam.
She added: ‘I want to be able to get married and have a baby. I have an IUD inside of myself so that I don’t get pregnant, but [my team doesn’t] want me to have any more children.’
The star slammed her situation as ‘abusive’, and even called for her father and those involved with her conservatorship to be ‘jailed’.

She fumed: ‘They have me going to therapy three times a week and to a psychiatrist.
‘I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive. I don’t feel like I can live a full life. In the meantime, I want this therapist to come to my home, I’m not willing to go to Westlake … They set me up by sending me to the most exposed places. I need your help.
‘My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, including my management … they should be in jail.’
Following Britney’s remote appearance in court, Jamie Spears’ legal team released a statement insisting he ‘loves his daughter very much’.
They said: ‘He is sorry to see is daughter suffering and in so much pain. Mr Spears loves his daughter very much.’
Long haul: Britney and Sam have been an item after first meeting back in October of 2016
Since then, the singer has made no secret of her wish to have more children.
In a topless beach photo from Sam Asghari’s birthday vacation, Britney captioned the post: ‘Planning on having babies in Polynesia !!!!!!’
Britney’s divorce to Kevin Federline was finalized in July 2007.
It was reported last year that Kevin receives $20,000 per month in child support for his and Britney’s two sons.
