Britney Spears has officially been declared single following the conclusion of a six-month waiting period after her divorce from Sam Asghari. The couple’s divorce began in August 2023, and they reached a settlement in May 2024, closing the chapter on their 14-month marriage. This declaration coincides with Spears’ 43rd birthday, marking a new chapter in her life.
While Spears has yet to publicly comment on her newfound single status, she has been celebrating her freedom through uplifting dance videos on Instagram. In one recent post, she reflected on self-love, stating, “The day I married myself,” alongside a video of herself in a wedding dress. Spears expressed her belief in the importance of this self-marriage, saying, “It might seem embarrassing or stupid, but I think it’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever done.”
Sam Asghari initiated the divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” In his announcement on Instagram, he expressed gratitude for their years together and requested kindness from the media concerning their situation. Spears confirmed the split days later, acknowledging the emotional toll the relationship had on her.
The couple began dating after meeting on the set of the “Slumber Party” music video in 2016 and became engaged in September 2022. They celebrated their wedding in what Spears described as a “dream” ceremony following her release from a conservatorship that had controlled her life for many years.
This latest turn of events marks Spears’ third marriage; she has now been divorced twice and had one marriage annulled. Her first marriage was to childhood friend Jason Alexander, which lasted just 55 hours, followed by a longer union with Kevin Federline, with whom she has two sons.
As Spears embarks on this new journey of self-discovery and empowerment, fans continue to support her, celebrating her resilience and growth. This period of her life not only reaffirms her status as an independent artist but also showcases her commitment to self-love and healing.
In a hopeful light, this new chapter may serve as an opportunity for Spears to focus on her well-being and explore new possibilities beyond her past relationships.
