📸Britney Spears, 39, shared the news on Sunday post. She was seen showing off her new four-carat diamond ring, Asghari stands beside her.

Underneath, some fans and followers tweeted their best wishes – yet the overriding feeling seemed to be of protective doubt. Nerves, even

Asghari, 27, and Spears have been in a relationship since 2016.

With the help of her army of fans, Britney Spears has finally broken free from one cage...

Whether he signs a prenup or not, those same fans will now stand sentry to make sure she doesn’t end up in a new one
