been fighting a conservatorship that governs her
personal life and finances, announced on Sunday
that she is engaged to longtime boyfriend Sam
Asghari. |

 The "Stronger" singer posted a
video of herself standing next to Asghari and
showing off a shiny ring on her hand. "I can't
f***ing believe it," she said in the caption,
next to ring emojis.
Asghari separately posted a photo of the pair
kissing and Spears extending the finger with the
ring. Asghari's manager Brandon Cohen confirmed
that the pair were engaged.
"The couple made their long-standing
relationship official today and are deeply
touched by the support, dedication and love
expressed to them," Cohen said via email.
Spears, 39, has been married twice before. She
wed childhood friend Jason Alexander in Las
Vegas in 2004, but that marriage was annulled a
few days later. Later that year, she married
dancer Kevin Federline, with whom she had two
children, before the marriage ended in divorce
in 2007.
Iranian-born Asghari, 27, is a personal trainer
and actor who has appeared on the Showtime
series "Black Monday." He and Spears began
dating in 2016.

 In June, Spears told a Los
Angeles court that the 13-year-old
conservatorship partially controlled by her
father was abusive, saying "I just want my life
back." She said she hoped to marry and to have
more children.
Last week, Spears' father, Jamie Spears said
circumstances had changed and he filed a
petition asking for the conservatorship to be
ended https://www.reuters.com/article/us-people-britney-spears-idCAKBN2G320F.
The next court hearing in the case is scheduled
for Sept. 29.
