Britney Spears is back on Instagram after taking a short break from Instagram to celebrate her engagement to long-term boyfriend Sam Asghari.
The 39-year-old’s account has been reactivated exactly as it was, complete with its 34.1million followers and a brand new post.
Sharing a picture of herself in a white peasant top with yellow embroidered flowers, and her blonde hair in a half up, half down style, the pop princess wrote: ‘Some shots from my weekend getaway to celebrate my engagement with my … holy s**t … FIANCÉ … I still can’t believe it !!!!’
She then joked: ‘I couldn’t stay away from the gram too long so I’m back already 💍😂🤷🏼♀️🤣 !!!!
‘Psss I took these in Palm Springs with clip in extensions 💁🏼♀️😉🌹!!!!!’
The star was officially absent from the platform for six days, after deactivating her account on September 14, which meant followers were met with a page empty of photos and a message that read ‘No post yet’.
With fans worried by the change, they took to Twitter to speculate, although one urged them to wait until there were ‘concrete’ answers given before speculating.
‘Britney Spears’ Instagram account was either deactivated or suspended this afternoon,’ they wrote.
‘There could be a million reasons why, so here’s gentle reminder to not speculate until we have a concrete answer.’
The Toxic singer then took to Twitter later that day to reassure her fans that everything was fine and she was just taking a celebratory break.
‘Don’t worry folks … just taking a little break from social media to celebrate my engagement 💍😉 !!!! I’ll be back soon 💋🌹✨,’ she wrote.
Britney had shared the news that Sam had popped the question on her social media on a few days earlier, and showed off her sparkling diamond ring in the process.
Alongside a picture of a topless Sam in a Superman pose, the 39-year-old wrote: ‘Words can’t even say how shocked I am … geez although the a**hole was way overdue !!!! It was definitely worth the wait …. yes world … that beautiful f*cking man in that picture is MINE !!! I’m so blessed it’s insane !!!!’
The pair met on the set of Britney’s Slumber Party music video in 2016 and she has credited him with being a source of support during her conservatorship battle.
He also proved to have a good sense of humour recently when Hollywood actress Octavia Spencer urged the couple to sign a pre-nuptial agreement ahead of their wedding.
Aside from reassuring fans that he would, he joked: ‘Of course we’re getting iron clad prenup to protect my jeep and shoe collection incase she dumps me one day [sic].’
Octavia then apologised on her Instagram, as she looked to share positivity for the couple.
