The “Stronger” songstress is mom to sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden, 15, who she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline. This would have been Asghari’s first child.
“Marriage and kids are a natural part of a strong relationship filled with love and respect,” the 28-year-old wrote via social media after his fiancée announced her pregnancy. “Fatherhood is something i have always looked forward to and i don’t take lightly. It is the most important job i will ever do🙏.”
