The sad news is circulating as reports suggest that Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are getting a divorce. The 29-year-old fitness trainer turned actor has filed for divorce from his wife, Britney Spears, who is 41 years old. While representatives for Asghari declined to comment, requests to Spears’ representative have gone unanswered.
The news of their separation broke on Wednesday, with multiple sources confirming the split, initially reported by TMZ. The couple tied the knot in June 2022, following their meeting on the set of Britney Spears’ “Slumber Party” music video back in 2016. However, insiders revealed that concerns within Spears’ inner circle had been growing since February.
Rumors of marital issues surfaced in March, only to be quickly shut down by Asghari’s agent, Brandon Cohen from BAC Talent. As for the circulating images of Asghari and Spears without their wedding bands, Asghari cited his involvement in a movie as the reason behind his ring’s absence.
In fact, Asghari has been pursuing a successful acting career, having been cast in the Taylor Sheridan-produced television series Lioness. Before their marriage, Asghari even lent his support to the pop sensation’s mental health treatment back in 2019.
Asghari’s role in Spears’ life became even more significant when she faced her father’s health scare and sought comprehensive wellness treatment in April 2019. According to a source close to the Spears family, Sam has been a fantastic support system for Britney. They share a mutual love for exercising together, as he strongly values physical fitness.
As Spears fought for her conservatorship, Asghari stood by her side unwaveringly. In June 2021, following Spears’ powerful testimony during a conservatorship hearing in Los Angeles, she spoke privately with Judge Brenda Penny for 30 minutes, expressing her feelings of unhappiness, sleeplessness, and emotional distress.
It was during this time that Asghari, a vocal supporter of the #FreeBritney movement, wore a T-shirt with the hashtag on his Instagram Story. He has consistently been Britney’s rock throughout their relationship, ensuring her well-being by encouraging healthy habits and offering unwavering support.
While this divorce may come as a shock to many, it’s important to remember that relationships evolve and change. Our thoughts go out to both Britney Spears and Sam Asghari as they navigate this difficult time.
