Troubled pop star Britney Spears has denied rumours that she is expecting a child with her boyfriend, British-born photographer Adnan Ghalib.
Sources close to the singer have been forced to comment on speculation that the 26-year-old was pregnant with her third child after reports said Ghalib had told friends in Britain that he was going to become a father.
"Britney has put on weight because the doctors have switched her prescription," a source was quoted in The Sun.
The rumors first started in January when the couple were pictured at a pharmacy buying a home pregnancy test kit.
Spears's 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn is currently expecting her first child with boyfriend Casey Aldridge.
The pop star, who spiraled out of control following an acrimonious split with husband Kevin Federline, has recently been allowed to see her two sons for the first time in two months.
Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said that the former couple have agreed to modify the court order that stripped Spears of her visitation rights.
In early January, the singer was taken from her home by paramedics following a stand-off with Federline.
Police were called after she refused to hand over the boys and she was briefly hospitalised. She has since lost all visitation rights.
