The 40-year-old pop star revealed in an Instagram post on Sunday that she was stepping down “for a while.”
“I’m taking a social media break for a while!!!” she wrote on Instagram. “Sending my love and God bless you all 💓💓🌹🌹!!!”
While Spears regularly updates her 40.9 million Instagram followers, she hasn’t posted to Twitter since January.
The ‘Piece of Me’ hitmaker accompanied her message with a video of a baby lounging in a chair in heart-shaped sunglasses, a fluffy robe and pink curlers.
Spears has regularly taken to social media over the years to update fans on her personal life, address her fractured family relationships, and talk about her much-publicized 13-year conservatorship, which ended last year.
Earlier this month, Spears and partner Sam Asghari announced they were expecting their first child together. Spears had previously testified that her court-ordered restorers forced her to use birth control.
In a post shared to her Instagram account on April 11, Spears revealed that she lost weight for her recent Maui vacation, only to gain it back. “So I took a pregnancy test… and uhhhhh… I’m having a baby,” Spears wrote at the time.
The singer also opened up about her past experiences with perinatal depression, describing it as “absolutely horrible,” adding that “women didn’t talk about it back then.”
“This time I’m going to do yoga every day,” she told fans.
Spears shares teenage sons Sean and Jayden with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
