Spears announced in April that she was expecting her third child, her first with Asghari.

Spears and Asghari said in a joint statement Saturday that they lost their "miracle baby early in the pregnancy."

"This is a devastating time for any parent," the couple said. "Perhaps we should have waited to announce until we were further along. However, we were overly excited to share the good news. Our love for each other is our strength. We will continue trying to expand our beautiful family."

Spears has two sons, Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The singer got engaged to Asghari in September after several years of dating.
