Britney Spears caused a frenzy online when she seemingly announced she had adopted a baby girl.

On Monday, the “Toxic” singer raised eyebrows with an Instagram post with a captioned that said, among other things, “I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl.” Spears paired the message with a video of herself dancing and 3 winking emojis. “Her name is Lennon London Spears,” she added.

However, sources close to Spears say the Grammy-winning singer has not adopted a daughter and that the “announcement” was a harmless joke.

Along with her bit, Spears also wrote, “Lennon today has on adorable dress !!! It says I’m NEW HERE !!!” she said with laughing emojis.

Many fans speculated that she may have been sharing that she was adopting a dog, but sources told TMZ she in fact didn’t adopt a fur baby either.

Spears’ post also claimed she has plans to move to Italy, but it turns out that’s not happening either.

While Spears hasn’t adopted any new children, she recently had her first visit in quite some time with her 18-year-old son Jayden, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline. They also share 18-year-old son Shawn Preston Federline.

After years of separation, Spears and her youngest spent last Christmas together.

“Best Christmas of my life,” Spears captioned an Instagram post at the time. “I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years !!! Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I’m speechless thank you Jesus !!!”

The 43-year-old shared another post later that month gushing about the reunion and calling Jayden a “miracle.”

“He came back and he feels older and smarter than me,” Spears wrote. “He’s a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!!”
