Sad news is spreading as rumors of a divorce between Britney Spears and Sam Asghari circulate. The 41-year-old wife of the fitness instructor-turned-actor, Britney Spears, has filed for divorce from the 29-year-old. While Asghari’s representatives declined to comment, Spears’ representative has not responded to inquiries.

On Wednesday, several sources confirmed the couple’s separation, which was first reported by TMZ. They first met while filming Britney Spears’ “Slumber Party” music video in 2016, and they later got married in June 2022. Thoughts had been growing since February, according to insiders, within Spears’ inner circle.

In March, there were rumors of marital problems, but Asghari’s agent, Brandon Cohen from BAC Talent, quickly dispelled them. Regarding the photos of Asghari and Spears that have been making the rounds without their wedding bands, Asghari explained that his lack of a ring was due to his participation in a movie.

Asghari, who was chosen for the Taylor Sheridan-produced television series Lioness, has actually been pursuing a lucrative acting career. The pop star’s mental health treatment received support from Asghari prior to their marriage in 2019.

When Spears faced her father’s health scare and sought extensive wellness care in April 2019, Asghari’s significance in her life increased. Sam has been a wonderful support system for Britney, claims a source close to the Spears family. He places a high value on physical fitness, so they both love working out together.

Asghari never wavered by Spears’ side as she fought for her conservatorship. Spears shared her feelings of unhappiness, insomnia, and emotional distress with Judge Brenda Penny in a 30-minute private conversation in June 2021, after giving an impactful testimony during a conservatorship hearing in Los Angeles.

Asghari, a vocal advocate for the FreeBritney movement, posted an Instagram Story wearing a T-shirt with the hashtag at this time. Throughout their relationship, he has consistently been Britney’s pillar of strength, ensuring her wellbeing by supporting her through thick and thin and encouraging positive behaviors.

Although many people may find this divorce shocking, it’s important to keep in mind that relationships develop and change over time. As they navigate this challenging time, Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are in our prayers.
