In a surprising turn of events, renowned pop singer Britney Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari, have officially filed for divorce after just 14 months of marriage. The initial news broke through TMZ, with subsequent confirmation from a source close to the couple speaking to the Associated Press news agency. The divorce filing, which occurred on Wednesday, cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the split. Notably, Mr. Asghari is seeking spousal support from Spears, along with coverage for his attorney’s fees.
The wedding of Spears and Asghari took place on June 9, 2022, in Thousand Oaks, California, and was attended by a star-studded guest list, including celebrities like Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton, and Madonna. The separation date is listed as July 28, 2023, in the divorce documents, as reported by TMZ. The couple’s relationship had blossomed since their first encounter in 2016 during the filming of Spears’ music video for “Slumber Party,” where Asghari appeared alongside her. He had proposed to Spears in September 2021 at their home.
This development comes five months after the termination of a 13-year conservatorship that had been overseen by Spears’ father, a legal arrangement the singer had vocally criticized for restricting her reproductive choices, even impeding her from removing a contraceptive IUD. Spears, who already has two teenage sons from a previous marriage, expressed her desire for more children. As the details of the divorce continue to unfold, fans and the media alike are left to speculate about the reasons behind this unexpected split in the lives of these two high-profile personalities.
