Actor and personal trainer Sam Asghari has filed for divorce from pop star Britney Spears after 14 months of marriage. Asghari filed a petition with the Los Angeles Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. The couple's date of separation is listed as July 28, according to the court documents .
This news comes as a surprise to fans, as Spears and Asghari appeared to be happy together. They tied the knot in June of last year, shortly after getting engaged in September 2021. The couple first met in 2016 on the set of Spears' music video for "Slumber Party," where Asghari co-starred with her.
Their marriage took place just seven months after the end of Spears' high-profile conservatorship, which she had been under for 13 years. The termination of the conservatorship occurred during a landmark court hearing in Los Angeles.
This is not the first time that Spears has gone through a divorce. Her previous marriages include a short-lived union with childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004, which was annulled after only 55 hours. She was also married to dancer Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, before filing for divorce in 2006.
When Spears and Asghari got married, the singer took to Instagram to share her joy, calling their wedding day "the most spectacular." However, Asghari's most recent social media post featuring Spears was on Valentine's Day, leaving fans wondering about the state of their relationship.
As of now, there has been no comment from representatives of either Spears or Asghari regarding the divorce filing. Fans and media outlets will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting any updates or statements from the couple in the coming days.
