Britney Spears has 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 Monday 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 children.

Spears’ representatives did not immediately respond to a 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.
