Pop star Britney Spears and her fitness-trainer husband Sam Asghari have ended their six-year relationship with Asghari filing for divorce in Los Angeles court. The petition cites “irreconcilable differences” and states the two have been separated for three weeks.
Asghari released a statement on his Instagram Stories confirming the news, stressing the need for privacy and wishing Spears the best. He also denied reports that he is challenging the prenuptial agreement and attempted to use embarrassing videos as leverage. “There are many claims that Sam is challenging the prenup and threatening to exploit his ex-wife with videos. However, all these claims are false, and no negative intention has ever been directed towards her and never will be. Sam has always and will always support her,” said Brandon Cohen, Asghari’s representative.
The couple first met in 2016 on the set of Spears’ “Slumber Party” music video and announced their engagement in September 2021. They married the following June, but the union was cut short when Spears suffered a miscarriage in May 2022.
The star was released from her 13-year conservatorship in late 2021, which was put in place in 2008 and led to the #FreeBritney movement. After her release, she collaborated with Elton John on the song “Hold Me Closer” and with Will.i.am on the club single “Mind Your Business” last month.
Spears recently announced details of her long-awaited memoir, The Woman In Me. Fans of the singer are eagerly awaiting the book’s release to hear more about her personal story.
