Britney Spears' recent picture with beau sparks engagement rumours

Singer wore an oversized diamond on her ring finger as she attended the premiere of Once Upon a Time with Sam Asghari

Pop star Britney Spears has sparked speculations surrounding her engagement to longtime boyfriend Sam Asghari.

The 37-year-old star sported an oversized diamond on her ring finger as she attended the Los Angeles premiere of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood alongside Asghari.

She complemented her seemingly new piece of jewellery with a red mini dress, black chunky heels and a flashy choker, reported E! News.

Spears and Asghari, who began dating in late 2016, are yet to comment on the possibility of an engagement but they did look madly in love as they posed for photographs at the star-studded event.

Monday evening's date night also marked the Toxic singer's first official red carpet appearance in more than year. She commemorated the moment on Instagram by sharing several snapshots of her and Sam, writing, "Our first premiere”.

Britney faced renewed public interest in her personal life when she announced an indefinite work hiatus to focus on her father's ailing health earlier this year. Then in April, the mother-of-two checked into a mental health treatment facility.

At the time, a source revealed, "Sam has stuck by her side throughout all of her recent struggles and knows that this is just a phase in Britney's life that they will have to adjust to right now."

More recently, Britney enjoyed a tropical vacation with mom Lynne Spears and a trip to Miami with Sam.

The Grammy winner was infamously married to childhood friend Jason Alexander for just 55 hours in 2004. That same year she and Kevin Federline tied the knot and went on to welcome sons Preston and Jayden. Their relationship ended in 2007. Spears was most recently engaged to her former agent Jason Trawick but called it quits in 2013.
