Spears and Asghari said they will “continue trying to expand our beautiful family.”

In November 2021, Spears’ conservatorship ended after more than 13 years.

Britney Spears was a 26-year-old new mother at the height of her career when her father established the conservatorship — at first on a temporary basis — in February 2008 after a series of public mental health struggles.
