Pop sensation Britney Spears and her spouse, Sam Asghari, have officially parted ways following a mere 14 months of matrimony, as reported by prominent sources within the US media.
Their love story began on the set of one of Spears’ music videos back in 2016, ultimately culminating in an elegant yet understated wedding ceremony in June of 2022, attended by an array of well-known faces.
Asghari, aged 29, had consistently stood by the side of the 41-year-old Spears, providing unwavering support during her battles with mental health issues and the eventual conclusion of her conservatorship ordeal.
Nonetheless, whispers of turbulence in their marital union had been making rounds in the pages of American tabloids.
Despite the silence from representatives of both Spears and Asghari, the initial breaking of this news came from TMZ, subsequently corroborated by a reliable source linked to the Associated Press, confirming that Asghari had formally initiated divorce proceedings.
The bond between the Iranian-American model and fitness enthusiast, Asghari, and Spears, was first sparked during the filming of her song “Slumber Party.” His significance grew notably during the contentious conservatorship legal battle involving Spears’ father, Jamie. Asghari made a public statement of solidarity by donning a “Free Britney” t-shirt on his Instagram before a pivotal court hearing.
Having proposed to Spears within the confines of their shared abode in September of 2021, the couple announced their anticipation of their first child while engaged. Regrettably, this joy was overshadowed by the subsequent announcement of a miscarriage.
Their nuptial affair, hosted at the grandeur of Spears’ Thousand Oaks, California residence, attracted an intimate yet glamorous gathering, including luminaries like Paris Hilton, Madonna, and Drew Barrymore.
In more recent times, their lack of wedding rings had been observed in public, signaling potential trouble beneath the surface.
Remarkably, despite the news of the split, Spears has chosen not to address the matter on her social media platforms. Her most recent Instagram update, released in the wake of this revelation, focuses solely on her aspiration to acquire a horse.
Curiously timed, this separation coincides with Spears’ forthcoming memoir, “The Woman in Me,” scheduled for release in October.
Having previously experienced brief marital unions with childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004 (spanning just 55 hours), and rapper Kevin Federline from 2004 to 2007, with whom she shares two children, Spears now navigates a new chapter in her personal journey.
