Britney Spears and Sam Asghari have reportedly separated and are heading for divorce after one year of marriage and seven years of dating, according to multiple sources. The couple's split allegedly occurred after a heated argument stemming from rumors of infidelity. While it remains unclear if the rumors are true, Asghari believed them and confronted Spears, leading to a massive fight. Asghari subsequently moved out of their home and into his own place. Sources claim that it is only a matter of time before he files for divorce, although neither Spears nor Asghari have commented on the matter publicly.
This news comes just two months after the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary in June. Prior to the split, there were speculations about the couple's relationship due to both of them being seen without their wedding rings on different occasions. Asghari's representative had previously denied rumors of trouble in their marriage, stating that they were not having marital issues.
Spears and Asghari met in 2016 when he starred in her music video for "Slumber Party." They began dating and supported each other through Spears' highly publicized legal conservatorship battle. Asghari proposed to Spears in September 2021, and they tied the knot in June 2022.
If Asghari does file for divorce, Spears is protected by a prenuptial agreement that safeguards her assets.
