Sam told his followers: ‘Marriage and kids are a natural part of a strong relationship filled with love and respect.
‘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.’
Britney, 40, had revealed on Monday that she is expecting her third child, her first with Sam, in a lengthy Instagram post.
She shared the happy news, telling her fans: ‘I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back… I thought “Geez … what happened to my stomach ???”

‘My husband said “No you’re food pregnant silly!!!” So I got a pregnancy test… and uhhhhh well… I am having a baby…’
Britney joked: ‘4 days later I got a little more food pregnant. It’s growing!!! If 2 are in there… I might just lose it…’
She also addressed struggles from her past pregnancies with sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jaden James Federline, 15, who she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline, 44, including with the paparazzi and perinatal depression.

‘I obviously won’t be going out as much due to the paps getting their money shot of me like they unfortunately already have,’ she added.
’It’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression… I have to say it is absolutely horrible… women didn’t talk about it back then… some people considered it dangerous if a woman complained like that with a baby inside her…
‘But now women talk about it everyday… thank Jesus we don’t have to keep that pain a reserved proper secret… This time I will be doing yoga every day!!! Spreading lots of joy and love.’
