In breaking news, Britney Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari, have reportedly separated and are heading for divorce, ending their one-year marriage.
Claims made by tabloid publication TMZ follow on from reports of a “nuclear” argument stemming from a cheating scandal. According to their exclusive report, sources close to the couple revealed that Spears’ 29-year-old husband confronted her over rumours “she stepped out on him.”
The source alleged that the musician cheated on the Iranian-American model, though no evidence to dispel or affirm the claims has been outlined, however, TMZ cites that Asghari believed the gossip.
The publication continued: “Sam has moved out of their house and is now living in a place of his own. As one source put it, ‘It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce.’”
TMZ claims that Spears and Asghari’s relationship had been in “deep trouble” for months. They claim the couple have been embroiled in frequent “screaming matches” and “blowout fights” with things escalating to the point where Spears has allegedly “been physical”. They also add that security has reportedly had to “step in” during “volatile” moments.
The couple, who met in 2016, have certainly endured one of the most tumultuous circumstances, with Asghari supporting Spears through her 13-year conservatorship battle. Asghari was regularly seen wearing a #FreeBritney shirt during this period. Spears’ conservatorship was terminated in 2021, with she and Asghari marrying in an intimate ceremony a year later in 2022.
The wedding was held at Spears’ Thousand Oaks home in Los Angeles, with the likes of Madonna, Donatella Versace, Drew Barrymore, Selena Gomez and Paris Hilton. In the months leading up to the marriage, Spears also suffered a miscarriage, tragically losing her and Asghari’s first child together.
TMZ reports that Spears’ assets are reportedly protected by a prenuptial agreement, though they speculate that Spears may monetarily compensate Asghari during the divorce proceedings to “settle things, at least financially.”
Though the couple’s official divorce hasn’t been filed, it’s expected to reach courts in due time. Neither Spears nor Asghari have commented on the split.
