Britney Spears Didn’t Adopt a Kid, or a Dog, Despite Claim

Britney Spears is NOT a new mother to a baby girl or a puppy, despite what she’s telling folks on social media … TMZ has learned.

Here’s the deal … Britney raised eyebrows over the weekend when she posted another dance video on her Instagram page and dropped this nugget in the caption, “I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl 😉😉😉 !!! Her name is Lennon London Spears 🤪🤪🤪.”

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … she did NOT adopt a child and she’s just messing with people, hence the 😉 emojis in her caption.

As for eagle-eyed followers catching on to the baby carrier in the background of a recent Britney IG dance video … our sources say she uses the baby carrier to transport her baby dolls … and she sometimes travels with them too.
