On Wednesday, Sam Asghari filed for divorce from his wife, Britney Spears.
The 29-year-old Asghari’s manager declined to comment. Requests for response from Spears’ 41-year-old rep have gone unanswered.
Spears and Asghari’s separation was announced earlier on Wednesday by numerous sources.
The news of their separation was first reported by TMZ.
The couple wed in June 2022 after meeting in 2016 while filming Spears’ “Slumber Party” music video.
But insiders claimed in February that Spears’ inner circle had “grown concerned.”
In March, there were rumors that the pair was having marital issues, but Asghari’s agent, Brandon Cohen from BAC Talent, immediately shot them down.
Regarding images of Asghari and Spears without their wedding bands, Asghari stated that he had taken off his ring since he was acting in a movie. Asghari claimed in November that he had been cast in the Taylor Sheridan-produced television series Lioness, albeit it was unclear what movie he was filming at the time.
Before they got married, Asghari assisted the pop sensation in 2019 with her mental health treatment.
Asghari stepped up to help Spears more heavily as she battled with her father’s health scare after she entered a facility for “all-encompassing wellness treatment” in April 2019.
According to a Spears family source, Sam is unquestionably fantastic for Britney. She responds quite favorably to him. They frequently exercise together since he is highly motivated to maintain his physical fitness.
Spears has received assistance from Asghari during her fight for conservatorship.
The pop artist spent 30 minutes on the phone with Judge Brenda Penny in June 2021 after speaking at a conservatorship hearing in Los Angeles, saying, “I’m not happy. I have trouble falling asleep. I’m feeling down. I cry every day,” a source claimed, adding that Asghari, who posted an image of himself wearing a #FreeBritney T-shirt on his Instagram Story prior to the hearing, had been the singer’s “rock.”
Sam has long been Britney’s pillar of support. According to the insider, Spears’ boyfriend at the time “makes sure she eats well and exercises. She relies entirely on him. He works and leads a separate life, but he tries to be as present as he can.
