The announcement follows news that Spears is expecting her third child, her first with her fiancé, Sam Asghari.
"I am having a baby," Spears said earlier this month.
"I obviously won't be going out as much due to the paps getting their money shot of me like they unfortunately already have," she added.
Spears already has two sons, Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Spears and Asghari got engaged in September 2021 amid Spears' conservatorship battle. A Los Angeles judge formally ended Spears' 13-year conservatorship in November.
