Your support makes all the difference.Britney Spears has called Sam Asghari her “husband” on Instagram, leading fans to speculate that the pair have married.
In a video posted to her feed showing baby turtles making their way to the sea, Spears said: “My husband @samasghari sent me this and said: 100 baby turtles leave the hatch.
“Only 20 make it to reefs because most get eaten by sharks. Only one strong turtle makes it out of 100 and comes back a year later stronger than ever and hatches babies. He said these turtles represented life!!!!!”
Fans were quick to pick up on terminology used, with some commenting: “Husband???”
Another wrote: “Did someone say HUSBAND?”
A third fan added: “This is Britney telling [us] she is married.”
Spears and Asghari announced their engagement in September last year, around the same time that her decade-long conservatorship ceased.
The 40-year-old “Piece of Me” singer and 28-year-old Asghari have been dating since 2016.
Earlier yesterday, Spears had posted a birthday message to Asghari with a picture of them appearing to be on holiday. In the image the pair were both wearing light-coloured clothing.
“Happy Birthday to my Fiancé …,” Spears wrote in the caption. “I love you so much … I want a family with you … I want it all with you!!!!”
Asghari replied in the comments, writing: “Millions of things to wish for. I only have one wish.”
The Independent has reached out to Spears’ representatives for comment.
