"It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy," the message read.
"This is a devastating time for any parent. Perhaps we should have waited to announce until we were further along however we were overly excited to share the good news."
The message then reaffirms the pair's love for each other before promising to continue their attempts to have a child together.
Britney captioned the post with another thank you to her supportive fans, saying, "We are grateful for what we have in the process of expanding our beautiful family, Thank you for your support."
