Britney Spears and Sam Asghari have separated, just 14 months after their wedding. Apparently, it was the actor and model born in Tehran who initiated the divorce proceedings, according to several media outlets in the United States. The scoop was given by the portal TMZ, which pointed out "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the breakup. Asghari would also ask whoever has been his wife for marital compensation and payment for legal expenses.
For months it was said that the couple was going through a serious crisis: "It has been a very toxic relationship between them for a long time", assured People a source close to the couple, who adds that "their marriage has been in danger for months. It's been constant drama. It's sad." Just a few days ago it was published that they had had a big fight and he had accused her of infidelity. It seems that this was the trigger for him to decide to file for divorce.
Neither Spears nor Asghari have confirmed the news of the separation, but the model has already left the family mansion and the singer has been seen around Los Angeles, the city where they both currently reside, without wearing their wedding or engagement rings. In addition, just yesterday he published on the networks a smiling photo in which he was riding a horse on the beach and announced that he wanted to buy a horse: "With so many options it is a bit difficult. A horse named Sophie and another named Roar. I can't decide!!!". But her relatives don't trust the happiness she shows in the photos and fear that Spears could collapse mentally, as has happened to her before.
One of the problems of marriage is the issue of expanding the family. Britney Spears, 41 years old, 13 years older than her husband, is the mother of two children, Sean Preston (17) and Jayden James (16), with whom she barely maintains a relationship. According to sources close to the Disney ex-girlfriend, she was "anxious to start" creating her family. Something that was not entirely shared by Asghari, who after seeing Spears' current problems with her children and after the loss of the baby they suffered in 2022, preferred to wait to become a father.
In principle, it is expected to be a smooth divorce, as the couple signed a no-frills prenuptial agreement before tying the knot that keeps the singer's estimated $60 million fortune out of harm's way (55 million euros). And it is stipulated that Sam Asghari could only get "a million dollars for every two years of marriage" that they had been married, and with a maximum of ten million. The actor refused to have rights to the profits of his wife's music, and his properties are in the name of a society. According to TMZ, the actor and model has no intention of going to trial, so it is most likely that they will reach a private financial settlement.
Britney Spears and Sam Asghari met in 2016, during the filming of the music video for the song Slumber Party, in which Asghari played the romantic interest of the artist. In 2017, their relationship became public and the model became Spears' great support during the tough trial to get rid of her father's guardianship. In September 2021 they got engaged. The wedding, the singer's third, was held on June 9, 2022 in Los Angeles, and among the guests were friends of the bride such as Drew Barrymore, Madonna, Paris Hilton and Selena Gomez.
