In her upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me, Britney Spears discusses her desire to start a family with her now-estranged husband Sam Asghari. According to a source, the 41-year-old singer expresses her excitement upon discovering her pregnancy in early 2022. Spears shares her long-standing eagerness to begin a family with Asghari, 29, even before their marriage last summer.
Despite her excitement, Spears expressed feeling scared due to her past experiences with depression during her previous pregnancies with ex-husband Kevin Federline. However, Asghari's support gave her the confidence to overcome the challenges.
In April 2022, Spears announced on Instagram that she and Asghari were expecting their first child together. Unfortunately, one month later, they shared the heartbreaking news of a devastating miscarriage.
“Although it may have been wiser to wait before making the announcement, our excitement got the better of us and we couldn't help but share the wonderful news. Our love for one another is our source of strength,” they stated together on social media. “We will persist in our efforts to expand our beautiful family. We deeply appreciate all the support we have received. At this challenging time, we politely request privacy.”

After their marriage in June 2022, Spears and Asghari sadly ended their relationship just 14 months later, a fact confirmed by Us. An exclusive source disclosed in September that the couple, who have since separated, have had minimal communication since their breakup a month earlier.
Prior to their announcement of divorce, Spears and Asghari had conflicting views on starting a family. According to a third insider in July, Spears expressed a strong desire to have children in the near future, while Asghari was uncertain and felt content with his current life. On the other hand, Spears was eager to expand her family and felt disappointed that Asghari seemed to be breaking a promise they had made when they first started dating. The topic of having children was extensively discussed throughout their relationship, making it unlikely for Asghari to change his stance anytime soon.
The Woman in Me will be released on Tuesday, October 24th. However, Asghari has already acquired an advanced copy. In an interview with TMZ, he expressed his admiration for Britney Spears' immense effort and dedication in writing the book. Asghari confessed to being both excited and incredibly proud of her accomplishment, acknowledging the challenging nature of the writing process.
