Britney Spears is pregnant with her third child, and she has not specified the date of her marriage

American pop star Britney Spears, 40, announced that she is pregnant with her third child, five months after the guardianship of her father was lifted due to her suffering from mental disorders.

The star, who achieved widespread stardom in her teens with many hit songs more than two decades ago, the first of which was "Baby One More Time" in 1998, wrote on her Instagram account: "I took a pregnancy test ... and I am expecting a baby."

On November 12, a Los Angeles court decided to restore the singer's power to make decisions about her life by removing the guardianship that was given to her by her father, Jamie Spears.

Spears was placed under guardianship in 2008 after she struggled with mental health issues, and the singer has long described the measure as "arbitrary".

Spears has not announced the date of her child's birth or even indicated when she will marry her fiancé.

Spears' future husband and father, Sam Asgari, announced on Instagram the news of her pregnancy, writing, "I've always been looking forward to being a dad and don't take it lightly. I'll never have anything more important than that."
