Did Britney Spears adopt a baby or is she trolling Instagram?
On Monday, the Toxic singer raised eyebrows with an Instagram post with a captioned that said, among other things, 'I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl.' Spears paired the message with a video of herself dancing and 3 winking emojis. 'Her name is Lennon London Spears,' she added.
However, sources close to Spears say the Grammy-winning singer has not adopted a daughter and that the 'announcement' was a harmless joke.
Along with her bit, Spears also wrote, 'Lennon today has on adorable dress !!! It says I'm NEW HERE !!!' she said with laughing emojis.
Many fans speculated that she may have been sharing that she was adopting a dog, but sources told TMZ she in fact didn't adopt a fur baby either.
Spears' post also claimed she has plans to move to Italy, but it turns out that's not happening either.
While Spears hasn't adopted any new children, she recently had her first visit in quite some time with her 18-year-old son Jayden, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline. They also share 18-year-old son Shawn Preston Federline.
After years of separation, Spears and her youngest spent last Christmas together.
'Best Christmas of my life,' Spears captioned an Instagram post at the time. 'I haven't seen my boys in 2 years !!! Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I'm speechless thank you Jesus !!!'
The 43-year-old shared another post later that month gushing about the reunion and calling Jayden a 'miracle.'
'He came back and he feels older and smarter than me,' Spears wrote. 'He's a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!!' – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

'I Know What You Did Last Summer' review: The last one wasn't good either...
I Know What You Did Last Summer Director: Jennifer Kaytin Robinson Cast: Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Freddie Prinze Jr, Jennifer Love Hewitt The rebooted I Know What You Did Last Summer feels more like a recycled I Know What You Did Last Summer. This legacy sequel to the 1997 horror hit, which followed in Scream's reawakening of the teen horror machine, follows the familiar beats of the original film, except with less personality and a total lack of suspense. With results this tepid, who cares what you did last summer? On a cliffside road one night, a group of CW-ready North Carolina friends — including Danica (Madelyn Cline), her best friend Ava (Chase Sui Wonders) and her fiancé Teddy (Tyriq Withers) — are party to an accidental death they sort of maybe had a hand in partially causing. Ok, time to start taking bets on who's going to die first. They try to keep the incident a secret amongst themselves, but a year later it comes back to haunt them in the form of an anonymous letter sent to Danica which reads in full, I know what you did last summer. Stop me if you've heard this one before. Enter the hook-wielding killer, who inspired enough references to the Gorton's Fisherman back then that there's no need to rehash them here. The difference is this time around there's precedent for the events, which means all sorts of references to 'The Slaughter of '97', which the town attempted to bury in an effort to rebrand itself as the Hamptons of the South. That also means bringing original stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. back into the fold to reprise their original roles. You'd think the Ghost Whisperer would know better than to stick around a town with a serial killer. Look, we're in an era where everything that was once old can always be new again, where nothing or no one ever really dies until they're buried 6 feet deep, and even then things are open to negotiations. I Know What You Did Last Summer was never that good the first time around, and co-writer and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (2022's dark comic teen thriller Do Revenge) doesn't do much to spice up this revisited take. The characters are flat and unlikeable, the staging of the horror sequences is clumsy, and the kills are wan and uninspired. What are we doing here? I Know What You Did Last Summer isn't quite scraping the bottom of the barrel — that would be an Urban Legend reboot/sequel, quite frankly — but it's a lifeless attempt to squeeze blood from a stone that didn't have much to offer in the first place Nostalgia is overrated, Jennifer Love Hewitt's character says at one point late in the movie. You said it, sister. – Adam Graham/The Detroit News/Tribune News Service

Britney Spears baffles fans with ‘adoption' post — but it was just a joke, sources say
LOS ANGELES, July 19 — Pop icon Britney Spears raised eyebrows this week with an Instagram post that sent fans into a frenzy — but according to insiders, the excitement was all for nothing. In a now-viral video shared on Monday, the Toxic singer danced while dropping what looked like a major life update. 'I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl,' she wrote, punctuated with three winking emojis. 'Her name is Lennon London Spears.' But as reported by New York Daily News, sources close to Spears were quick to clarify that the Grammy winner hasn't adopted a child. The post, they said, was just a bit of harmless fun. Fans were left speculating whether the 43-year-old star was referring to a new pet instead. After all, Spears also shared, 'Lennon today has on adorable dress !!! It says I'm NEW HERE !!!' complete with laughing emojis. But TMZ sources claimed that no dog had been adopted either. The pop star's post also hinted at plans to relocate to Italy, though those claims, too, appear to be wishful thinking — or more likely, part of the same playful fantasy. While no new additions have been made to her family, Spears recently celebrated a heartfelt reunion with her youngest son, 18-year-old Jayden, after a long period apart. She shares Jayden and his twin brother, Sean Preston, with ex-husband Kevin Federline. In December, Spears called their Christmas together 'the best Christmas of my life.' 'I haven't seen my boys in 2 years !!!' she captioned a joyful Instagram post at the time. 'Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I'm speechless thank you Jesus !!!' Later that month, she gushed again about her reunion with Jayden, writing: 'He came back and he feels older and smarter than me. He's a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!!' While 'Lennon London Spears' may not be real, it's clear Britney is enjoying the freedom to express herself — even if it leaves fans scratching their heads.
