Where is Britney Spears today?

POP superstar Britney Spears was at the center of an ongoing legal battle with her family for over a decade.

Britney's life and her multi-million-dollar fortune were under the supervision of her father Jamie Spears until he was suspended from the conservatorship in 2021.

On April 11, 2022, Britney Spears took to Instagram to announce that she was expecting a baby with her long-term partner Sam Asghari.

The pop star shared the news via a caption, writing:

"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 … four days later..."

She continued: "I am having a baby... It’s growing! If two are in there I might just loose it."

However, on May 14, nearly a month after the exciting news, Britney shared with fans that she and Sam had lost their 'miracle baby.'

"It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy," she wrote.

"This is a devastating time for any parent. Perhaps we should have waited to announce until we were further along however we were overly excited to share the good news.

"Our love for each other is our strength. We will continue trying to expand our beautiful family.

"We are grateful for all of your support. We kindly ask for privacy during this difficult moment," she concluded.

This would have been her third child, as she already shares two sons, Jaden and Sean, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The news of her pregnancy came after Los Angeles County Judge Brenda Penny ruled in Britney's favor to terminate her conservatorship as of November 12, 2021.

She now has full control of her life for the first time since before 2008.

In the week leading up to the ruling, the pop star shared her thoughts on the important day in a now-deleted post.

"This week is gonna be very interesting for me," she wrote at the time.

"I haven't prayed for something more in my life."

After a late September conservatorship hearing, Britney had filed for new counsel, leaving her father out of the reigns of her estate.

Judge Brenda Penny heard the case for the singer's request and her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, filed to appoint CPA Jason Rubin as the new conservator on Wednesday, September 29.

Jamie Spears agreed to step down after 13 years, but the singer will still be under the care of professional Jodi Montgomery, who mangers her medical and personal affairs.

Judge Penny suspended him from the conservatorship, saying: "Based on what I read in the filings, and I read everything. I do believe the suspension of Jamie Spears is in the best interest of Britney Spears.

What is a conservatorship?

Legal and financial conservatorships are arranged for people who cannot make their own decisions in their own best self-interest, such as in the case of an elderly adult or someone with some cognitive impairment.

Since 2008, Britney has been under conservatorship due to a series of public meltdowns after apparently suffering a mental health crisis.
