Britney Spears’ Romantic History: From Dating Justin Timberlake To Surprise Wedding With Sam Asghari

Shortly after being linked to Colin, Britney hooked up with one of her backup dancers, Columbus Short. The following year, Columbus opened up about the hookup in an interview with Star magazine, and admitted that it led to the demise of his marriage (his wife was pregnant with their first child at the time). Columbus’ employment with Britney was terminated afterward, as well.

Britney Spears, 40, Is Expecting Her First Baby With Fiancé Sam Asghari: Here Are All The Details

The couple started dating after meeting in 2016 on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video with Tinashe, per ELLE. They made things public in 2017 and have been going strong ever since.

Five years later, they’re not only engaged but are also prepping for parenthood.

The Pop Princess, 40, and her husband-to-be have received a tremendous amount of support from fellow celebrities and fans who have been by her side during the fight to end her conservatorship last year, which ended officially on November 14.

Here’s everything to know so far about Britney’s pregnancy and due date:

How did they announce the pregnancy?

Both parents-to-be took to social media for the big reveal with separate Instagram posts. Britney was the first to break the news saying, “I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ … I thought ‘Geez … what happened to my stomach . ‘ My husband said, ‘No you’re food pregnant silly 🤪 . ‘ So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby. ” She then went on to reveal more about how she plans to approach pregnancy this time around, noting that she’s dealt with perinatal depression in the past.

Preventable medical errors kill about 22,000 patients a year, according to research from the Yale School of Medicine. That’s much less than a previously reported number of 250,000 deaths a year where medical error is to blame.

Sam also posted a sweet caption on his page the next day saying, “Marriage and kids are a natural part of a strong relationship filled with love and respect. Fatherhood is something I have always looked forward to and I don’t take lightly. It is the most important job I will ever do.🙏”

What’s the sex of the baby?

While the sex of the baby has not been revealed, fans have their own theories based on Britney’s announcement post. In case you haven’t seen it yet, the photo features pink flowers laid next to a pink teacup and saucer, leaving fans to believe there might be a baby girl on the way.

Britney has wanted kids with Sam for a while.

During one of the court hearings to end her 13-year conservatorship, Britney hinted during her testimony that she was ready to start a family with Sam.

“I want to be able to get married and have a baby,” Spears told the judge, per Billboard. “I was told right now in the conservatorship, I’m not able to get married or have a baby. I have an IUD inside of myself right now so I don’t get pregnant. I wanted to take the IUD out so I could start trying to have another baby. But this so-called team won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out because they don’t want me to have any more children.”

Since her father stepped down as her conservator during the summer of 2021, Britney has been taking steps to live the life she wanted with Sam. The couple got engaged last September after five years of dating, and are planning to tie the knot soon.

While this is Sam’s first child, Britney already has two kids with her ex-husband Kevin Federline. She had her first son, Sean Preston Federline, 16, in 2005 and her second son Jayden James Federline, 15, a year later. Let’s hope these two are ready to take on big brother duties!

So when is the baby due?

The baby’s due date is still a mystery, but Britney did say she was initially feeling nausea while on her trip to Maui.

“The only thing that is similar to this feeling is when I was pregnant 🤰… it’s the nausea 🤢,” she captioned an Instagram post where she sunned herself in a yellow bikini.

That was back in January, so if she waited until the end of her first trimester to announce the pregnancy, she could be giving birth sometime this fall.

Britney and Justin Timberlake were the ultimate pop music couple when they dated from early 1999 until 2002. At the time, she was at the height of her early career, while he was at the peak of his boy band days in NSYNC. They were together for more than three years when things ended quite abruptly. After the split, Justin went on to release his first solo song, “Cry Me A River,” which he eventually admitted was about his split from Britney. Although they grew apart over the years, they both complimented each other on social media in 2020.

In 2004, Britney shocked everyone when she married her childhood friend, Jason Alexander, at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. However, in one of the most short-lived celebrity marriages of all-time, the pair annulled their union after just 55 hours of wedded bliss. Britney filed a petition with the court, which stated that she “lacked understanding of her actions” at the time of the nuptials.

In a shocking turn of events, Jason was arrested on June 9 after he tried to crash Britney’s wedding to Sam. In a video on his Instagram Live, Jason filmed himself trying to sneak into the pop star’s wedding in Thousand Oaks, CA as police arrested him.

Kevin Federline

That same year, Britney met backup dancer, Kevin Federline. Just three months after they met, the two were engaged, and they tied the knot in September 2004 (although the nuptials were not legalized until a few weeks later). At the time all of this was happening, Kevin’s ex, Shar Jackson, was pregnant with his second child. Britney and Kevin wound up having two sons of their own: Sean Preston was born in Sept. 2005, followed by Jayden James in 2006. As Britney began dealing with some issues with her mental health, her relationship with Kevin fizzled out, and they split in 2006. The divorce was finalized in July 2007.

Rotem in 2007, although there was some speculation that their relationship potentially began while she was still with Kevin. Again, this has not been confirmed by either party.

Britney shocked her friends, family and fans when she got together with a paparazzo at the end of 2007. She briefly dated photographer, Adnan Ghalib, despite the fact that she was being hounded by paparazzi for months.

Jason Trawick

After these flings, Britney got into another long term relationship beginning in 2009, when she started dating her manager, Jason Trawick. The pair’s relationship was confirmed in 2010, and in December 2011, the two got engaged. Jason even became a co-conservator for Britney and obtained legal control of the singer. Unfortunately, the relationship eventually fizzled out, and Britney and Jason split at the beginning of 2013. At that time, he was removed as her conservator.

David Lucado

Sam Asghari

Britney met her current husband, Sam Asghari, on the set of her music video for “Slumber Party” in 2016. Despite an age difference of more than ten years, the two hit it off and exchanged numbers after the shoot. They started seeing each other afterward, and went Instagram official in January 2017. Ever since, Sam has been a rock for Britney — he was a solid support system when she sought out mental health resources in 2019.

More recently, Sam spoke out about his relationship with Britney, and the pop star’s father, Jamie Spears‘, involvement in her conservatorship — instituted roughly 12 years ago. “Now it’s important for people to understand that I have zero respect for someone trying to control our relationship and constantly throwing obstacles in our way,” Sam shared on his Instagram Story. “In my opinion, Jamie [Spears] is a total d*ck.” The statement came just days following the premiere of The New York Times‘ documentary Framing Britney Spears premiered on FX and was later viewed by fans on Hulu.

After Sam proposed to Britney in September 2021, the pair got hitched in a surprise wedding on June 9, 2022! In front of a small group of friends — including Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton and Selena Gomez — the couple said ‘I do’ with Sam getting silly at the reception afterwards by wearing Britney’s veil. He also sported a custom T-shirt reading ‘BRITNEY & SAM’ on the front as the couple left their special event in a Rolls Royce.
