Britney Spears on Monday announced she is pregnant with her third child, five months after a judge ended the controversial guardianship the pop icon said barred her from having more children.
“I got a pregnancy test… and uhhhhh well… I am having a baby,” the 40-year-old said on Instagram.
A Los Angeles judge in November dissolved the conservatorship long overseen by Spears’ father — an arrangement the singer said had prevented her from having a contraceptive IUD removed despite her desire for more kids.
Spears’ representatives did not immediately respond to AFP request for comment.

“I thought ‘Geez… what happened to my stomach???'” Spears wrote, saying that her 28-year-old partner Sam Asghari, whom she has started referring to online as her “husband,” speculated she was “food pregnant.”
“It’s growing !!! If 2 are in there… I might just loose it,” added the singer, prompting online chatter that she may be expecting twins.
After a highly public 2007 breakdown, when Spears attacked a paparazzo’s car at a gas station, the star was placed under a conservatorship headed by her father Jamie Spears, which ultimately lasted nearly 14 years.
