Britney Spears’ boyfriend Sam Asghari shocked his girlfriend’s fans when a photo of an engagement ring was posted to his Instagram account.
The 39-year-old singer has been dating model and actor Sam since 2016.
The pair fell in love when they met on the set of the music video for her song Slumber Party.
Speculation is rife that Sam is planning to ask Britney to marry him – with reports suggesting he has been out ring shopping in recent weeks.
On Friday, fans thought the day had finally come when Britney was going to see her boyfriend get down on one knee and pop the question, when the 27-year-old model’s Instagram account posted a photo of an engagement ring.

The photo was quickly deleted, but eagle-eyed fans of the famous couple were already planning their outfits and anticipating the wedding of the decade.
Fans were quick to screenshot the photo that showed off a sparkling ring, that was engraved with the word ‘lioness’ inside it.
One excitable fan shared screenshots of the ‘Instagram post’ to Twitter, writing: “Sam got Britney a ring with the word lioness on it in a now deleted post.”

Jumping to conclusions, fans flooded social media with excitable posts.
One fan penned: “Omg Sam is Going to Pop the Question, Thats why He Deleted the Post so Britney Would be Surprised. I’m So Happy for Britney She Finally Has the One.”
“Have they been to Hawaii recently? Maybe he proposed while there in Hawaii since it’s her fave place and so beautiful,” a second fan wrote.

While another said: “I hope he’s proposing!!!”
But a fourth notified the fan base that Sam had posted an update that read: “Account got hacked and was photoshopped – calm down everyone!”
One fan then took to Twitter to say: “I did think the engraving looked a bit cheap tbh, also incredibly confused as to why he would post it to the world before she even gets asked. Doesn’t make any sense.”
This all comes one week after Sam was spotted out shopping at a Cartier jewellery store in Beverly Hills.
Speculation was rife and reports suggested he was looking at engagement rings.
Meanwhile, reports this past week have suggested Britney’s conservatorship battle could soon come to a close – so maybe the couple will wait until then before they get engaged and tie the knot.
