‘The couple made their long-standing relationship official today and are deeply touched by the support, dedication and love expressed to them,’ He said, adding that Spears’ new ring was designed by N.Y.C. jeweler Roman Malayev.
The manager revealed that the New York–based jeweler Roman Malayev had come up with the ring’s stunning design.

Sam shared the news on his own Instagram account with a playful snap of Britney seeming to flip the bird, except she had her ring finger raised to showcase the massive sparkling diamond.
Just 25 minutes earlier he shared a cryptic text post to his Insta Stories, writing, ‘Biggest news….. Can’t wait to share.’
On Friday, Sam shocked Britney’s fans when two closeup photos of a diamond ring appeared in his Instagram Stories.
The second photo gave a clear look at the inside of the band, where Sam’s pet name for Britney, ‘Lioness,’ was engraved.
However, the images were quickly deleted, and he claimed that his account had been hacked and that the pictures were Photoshopped.
