Former Western queen Britney Spears revealed the news of the miscarriage on social media IG. She just announced in mid-April this year that she was pregnant with the child of fitness trainer fiance Sam Asghari, but the bad news came a month later.

The two issued a joint statement on IG: “We have to announce to everyone with the greatest sadness that we lost a miraculous baby in the early stages of pregnancy.” In the article, she blamed herself for waiting for the baby’s condition to be more stable before announcing her pregnancy. But she also said that she will continue to try to expand a beautiful family and thank the outside world for support.

Britney Spears, 40, and Sam Asghari, 12, have been together for more than six years and got engaged in September last year. She has two sons, 16 and 15, with her second dancer ex-husband Kevin Federline.
