American singer Britney Spears is officially engaged to actor Sam Asghari, announced on social media on Sunday 12 September. 

SHE SAID YES! 

Sam Asghari reportedly popped the big question at Britney’s home and she said yes! The Piece Of Me hitmaker shared an Instagram Reel showing off her ring with her fiancé. 

“I can’t f****** believe it ????????????????????????❣️!!!!!!” wrote Spears on Instagram.

Sam Asghari also took to Instagram to share the news, posting a picture of them kissing with Britney showing off her ring. 

“The couple made their long-standing relationship official today (12 September)  and are deeply touched by the support, dedication and love expressed to them,” said Asghari’s talent manager, Brandon Cohen of BAC Talent to People

The ring was designed by New York based ring designer Roman Malayev. The beautiful ring is a four-carat round brilliant stone in a platinum cathedral setting and enhanced with a floating solitaire design. The actor also took the sentimental route and engraved “lioness”, his nickname for Britney on the inside of the band.

“Roman Malayev from NYC is the ring designer. He couldn’t be more happier [sic] to be involved and make this a one-of-a-kind ring,” he continued.

The engagement news follows Sam Asghari being spotted ring shopping earlier this month.

THE CONSERVATORSHIP RESTRICTIONS 

Britney Spears is still fighting the legal battle to end her 13-year conservatorship from her father Jamie Spears. Although Britney and Sam have been together for nearly five years the pair’s relationship was restricted by the conservatorship. The arrangement was imposed in 2008 when concerns were raised over the singer’s mental health.

BBC reports that the terms of her conservatorship prevent her from marrying Sam Asghari and having more children.

“Even though they have wanted to take the next step for a while now, Britney and Sam know it would be so much easier to do if she weren’t under the restraints she’s under. But things are steadily progressing toward an engagement, that’s for sure,” said a source to Page Six.

 “He dreams of one day becoming a dad too, and Britney, of course, has always wanted to have more kids, especially now that hers are getting older,” the source added. 

Last week Jamie Spears filed papers at a Los Angeles court to end the conservatorship. A court hearing is scheduled for 29 September.
