While Britney Spears’ conservatorship struggle has been long and arduous, the singer has reason to rejoice: she and Sam Asghari recently announced their engagement. This follows a four-year relationship that began when they met on the set of her music video for “Slumber Party” in 2016. They both announced the news on their Instagram accounts. When Asghari asks if she loves the new diamond ring, Spears stands next him and cheerfully responds, “Yes!”
In a statement to People, Asghari’s manager, Brandon Cohen, said that he’s “proud to celebrate and confirm the engagement,” adding, “The couple made their long-standing relationship official today and are deeply touched by the support, dedication and love expressed to them.” Cohen also revealed that Spears’ ring was designed by New York City jeweler Roman Malayev. Cohen added, “He couldn’t be happier to be involved and make this one-of-a-kind ring.”
The news comes after Britney Spears’ father filed a petition to end her long-standing conservatorship. In the documents filed to Los Angeles’ Superior Court, Jamie Spears said his daughter is “entitled to have this Court now seriously consider whether this conservatorship is no longer required.” He added that her circumstances have changed to the point that “grounds for establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist.”
