On Sunday, Britney Spears announced to her 34 million followers on Instagram that she and her boyfriend Sam Asghari are engaged.
Displaying the announcement via Instagram Reels while showing an engraved diamond ring with the word “lioness”.
The news comes just days after her father filed to end the conservatorship which has taken place over the past 13 years, taking control of her life decisions and financial status.
Britney Spears has previously said that the arrangement was “abusive”. While in court this past June, she mentioned that she wanted to get married and have children. However, the conservatorship prevented her to remove the contraceptive device.
“I have an IUD inside of myself right now, so I don’t get pregnant,” she told the judge. “I wanted to remove the IUD to start trying for another baby. However, the team I’m dealing with is preventing me from seeing a doctor to have it removed because they don’t want me to have children.”
In the post’s caption, she exclaimed, “I can’t believe it!” She kissed Asghari on the cheek and enthusiastically replied with a “yes!” when he asked if she liked the ring.
The company who made the ring, Forever Diamonds NY, described the ring in a statement. The four-carat diamond ring has the engravement inside the band with “lioness” because it’s his nickname for her.
Asghari’s agent, Brandon Cohen, said the couple is “Overwhelmed by the support, commitment, and affection shown to them.”
