Kevin Federline Buy Britney Spears a Diamond Ring  6/10/05

Pregnant pop star Britney Spears has received a special gift from her husband Kevin Federline as she prepares for the birth of her first child - a 5.5-carat diamond ring.

The TOXIC singer, who is due to give birth in the autumn (05), is getting an upgraded ring to replace the one she picked out and bought for herself last year (04).

A friend explains, "I think it was because he wanted to buy her the diamond ring."

The new ring, designed by Cynthia Wolff, has a platinum band with a round, single diamond set in a classic style. Though Spears was spotted testing out a similar version of the ring in May (05), pals say the real thing won't be delivered until later this month (JUN05).

A pal says, "Kevin is giving it to her, which is a huge gesture, I think.

He's a real stand-up guy. It is lovely and she's very happy and excited. The gesture of the gift is huge."
