After 14 months of marriage, Britney Spears’s husband, Sam Asghari, has filed for divorce. From the early days of her career, the pop star singer has always been subject to a lot of media attention. She was the centre of attention until last year due to her ongoing battle with her parents regarding conservatorship. The 41-year-old pop icon is making headlines for her divorce from long-time beau Sam Asghari just a year after their marriage.
Who Is Sam Asghari?
Sam Asghari is an Iranian-American fitness trainer and actor who gained significant attention for his relationship with pop icon Britney Spears. Born on March 23, 1994, he initially gained recognition for his work in the fitness industry, where he has built a notable online presence and shared fitness tips and routines.
Asghari later transitioned into acting in television shows like Black Monday and Hacks. His relationship with Britney Spears has brought him further into the public eye, with many people curious about their dynamic. Despite the attention, Asghari continues to focus on his career and personal endeavours.
He got his big break when he got to appear in a Britney Spears music video in 2016. Spears was shooting a video for her song Slumber Party and Asghari was the lead model in the video. That’s when the couple met each other for the first time.
Asghari and Spears tied the knot on June 9, 2022, and recently celebrated their one-year anniversary. Asghari also posted a series of unseen pictures on his IG story with the caption: “Happy 1 year to me & my better half” followed by, “One year married to the woman of my dreams.”
Britney Spears’ Husband Sam Asghari Files For Divorce
In a shocking turn of events, just a couple of months after their wedding anniversary, Asghari filed for divorce. The couple first met in 2016 and have been together ever since. Asghari showed a lot of support towards Spears during her conservatorship. During the legal battle, he stood right by her even when people called him a gold digger.
Spears announced their announcement in September 2021 when Asghari popped the question to her. The couple later tied the knot in June 2022. The Toxic singer signed a prenup before the wedding which means her assets will be secured.
Despite their fairytale love story, there are rumours that it was Spears who was causing all the trouble which led Asghari to sort divorce. Multiple sources such as TMZ and People have quoted sources who have revealed that their marriage was in trouble for a while.
“It’s been very toxic between them for a long time,” one source told People.
Another told TMZ, “It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce.”
It has also been reported that Asghari filed for the divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” and the date of separation has been mentioned as July 28. While there aren’t any official reports nor have the couple confirmed the news, Asghari hasn’t been staying with the singer for some time now.
Spears and Asghari do not share any kids outside of their marriage. However, the Toxic singer is a mother of two sons from her previous marriage with Kevin Federline. Kevin and Britney were married from 2004 to 2007.
