Everything to Know About Britney Spears’s Reported Divorce From Husband Sam Asghari

[ad_1]

Britney Spears’s husband of a little over a year, Sam Asghari, has reportedly filed for divorce. On Wednesday, TMZ’s “sources with direct knowledge” told the outlet that Asghari confronted Spears “about a week ago” about rumors that she “stepped out” on him, and it spurred a fight, which in turn spurred his moving out. The source added, “It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce.”

Several hours later on Wednesday, Entertainment Tonight confirmed Asghari had filed the paperwork. According TMZ, he cited “irreconcilable differences,” and is asking for Spears to pay spousal support and attorneys fees. The outlet also reports that he listed the date of separation as July 28, 2023. Spears has reportedly hired Hollywood’s go-to divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, who previously helped her fight for custody of her sons amid her split from ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The former couple have a prenup, according to TMZ, one that protects Spears’s assets up to the day they were married. However, Page Six reports that Asghari has threatened to release “extraordinarily embarrassing” info on the performer if their prenup is not renegotiated. (Vanity Fair has reached out to both Spears and Asghari for comment.)

The same day the news broke, Spears posted on Instagram a message about a horse. “Buying a horse soon!!!,” reads the caption. It continues:

Spears and Asghari met in October 2016 on the set of her music video shoot for “Slumber Party,” in which he played the mysterious love interest with a big scar. They didn’t immediately get together, but reconnected after five months, and announced their relationship on Instagram on New Year’s Day 2017. 

For the majority of their time together, Spears’s father Jamie Spears controlled her financial and physical life through the conservatorship she’d been placed under in 2008. In September 2021, right before Spears was officially released from the conservatorship, Asghari proposed. He had a custom ring designed by Roman Malayev, and he had it engraved with his nickname for Spears, “Lioness.”

The pair were married in June of last year in a backyard ceremony at Spears’s mansion in Thousand Oaks, California. Selena Gomez, Madonna, Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore, and Donatella Versace attended (Versace made Spears’s dress too). It was fairy-tale-themed, complete with horse-drawn carriages.

Speculation has been circling for months that the fairy tale was coming to an end. In late July, Asghari’s mother was involved in an accident and hospitalized, and he logged off social after posting that he had to “prioritize what truly matters.” The tabloid media made a big deal of the fact that he wasn’t wearing his wedding ring in the photo with his mother.

In the past, Asghari frequently defended Spears publicly. He’s issued a strongly worded statement about her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s claims that Spears’s two sons didn’t wish to see her, and another when TMZ released TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom, a documentary on the performer.
