Britney Spears Happy At Last

The singer celebrates her engagement and her bid for freedom is finally a success

While he’s confessed to wanting to take their relationship “to the next step”, Britney Spears’ beau Sam Asghari had never actually put a ring on it – with her conservatorship restrictions seemingly putting a stop to any proposal plans in the past. But with the legal arrangement looking more and more likely to end in the very near future (see breakout box), the 27-year-old has finally popped the question to his long-time lady love!

The 39-year-old’s partner of five years first sparked whispers he was set to propose when he was spotted jewellery shopping at Cartier in Beverly Hills on September 2 – with the personal trainer perusing the diamond rings and even taking a snap of one in particular.

“It’s never been a question of, ‘Will it happen?’ It’s always been about when,” an insider recently told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s all very real for Sam especially, and engagement is on his mind now more than ever.”

So much so, Asghari couldn’t wait to ask Spears to be his bride – with the pair confirming their engagement just 10 days later on Instagram. “I can’t f--king believe it,” the singer captioned a video showing off her 4-carat round-cut diamond with her fiancé by her side.
