 Spears is said to have given birth by Caesarean section |
Photographers are waiting outside a hospital in Los Angeles after reports that singer Britney Spears has given birth to a baby boy.
The pop star, 23, gave birth by Caesarean section on Wednesday, US Weekly magazine said on its website.
Spears and husband Kevin Federline are said to have been taken to the UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica, under police escort, early on Wednesday.
But the birth is yet to be confirmed by her representatives.
The US Weekly report said that Spears gave birth just before 1300 local time (2100 BST) on Wednesday.
It also quoted unidentified sources claiming the child would be called Preston Michael Spears Federline.
However, hospital officials have so far declined to comment.
Speculation
Reports published earlier this week claimed Spears had given birth on Sunday.
But the rumours were subsequently denied by her UK publicist.
"Britney Spears has not given birth," he said. "She's not even in hospital. The baby is due some time in the next month."

The singer's spokesman has been quoted again on the Sun's website on Thursday, saying he could not confirm the birth.
"I wish I could give you details about the weight and when the baby was born, but I have no information to give yet," David Frostman is quoted as saying.
Spears married dancer Federline, 27, in September 2004 after they had been together for just six months.
She confirmed her pregnancy in April following months of feverish tabloid speculation.
Federline has two children by his ex-girlfriend, actress Shar Jackson, one of which was born after he and Spears started dating.
In the October issue of Elle magazine, Spears said she was looking forward to motherhood.
"It's mindblowing having a child," she said, adding that she planned on being "a hot mom".
