'We have lost our miracle baby': Britney Spears shares she had a miscarriage

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari have shared in a joint Instagram post that they "have lost" their baby in the early stages of pregnancy.

"It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy," they wrote in the post. "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 shared 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," the couple’s post said.

In the comment section on Spears’ post, her fiance had written a message: “We will have a miracle soon.”
