Britney Spears and husband Sam Asghari part ways

American singer Britney Spears and Her Husband Sam Asghari have reportedly parted ways after just one year of being married.

Spears 41, married Asghari 29, at her home in Thousand Oaks, California, on June 9, 2022, in front of famous guests like Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton and Madonna.

The wedding was seen as something good in her newly reclaimed life after the dissolution just six months earlier of the court conservatorship that controlled her life for more than 13 years.

“After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together…We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always.” Asghari wrote

The musician however did not address the divorce to her 42 million IG followers, instead writing that she was

“buying a horse soon”.

According to the dissolution of marriage petition filed by Mr Asghari in Los Angeles County Superior Court, he asks that spousal support and attorneys’ fees be paid by Britney.

The separation comes as Britney spears prepares to publish her memoir “The Woman in Me” this October.

This marks the end of her third marriage.

In 2004, she married childhood friend Jason Alexander for 55 hours in Las Vegas, before she annulled the nuptials due to urging of her management team.

Ms Spears’ second marriage to rapper Kevin Federline lasted from 2004 to 2007. Mr Federline retains sole custody of their two children, Jayden James and Sean Preston.
