A look at the ‘Toxic’ singer’s romances up to her current fiancé Sam Asghari
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Britney Spears has found herself in headlines over her recent conservatorship drama – which may soon be coming to an end – but also for her relationship with aspiring actor Sam Asghari.
The two have been dating since about 2016 and announced their engagement just days ago, weeks after Spears implied in bombshell court testimony that she wants to have a baby with the fitness enthusiast.
With Spears, 39, set to say "I do," here’s a look at the star’s previous relationships:
