However, the "Hold Me Closer" singer deleted her Instagram post a few minutes after it went up. Fans were confused why Britney would pose a birthday message for her husband and then delete it so quickly.

Fortunately, the post went back up about ten minutes later. The caption was the same, but it looks like Britney forgot a photo that she wanted to include in her Instagram carousel.

"Everybody is in denial because they think Sam is so hot looking NOT he’s such a snake you can see it in his eyes!!!" one user claimed. "Come on that’s why she’s not able to see her sons. Somethings not right wake up."
