Britney Spears has officially been declared single, nearly a year and a half after her ex-husband Sam Asghari filed for divorce. This legal status was confirmed in court documents revealed on her 43rd birthday, December 2nd.
The ruling comes seven months after their divorce was finalized in May, with both parties opting for an uncontested divorce to avoid a trial and an appeal. According to Los Angeles Superior Court documents, Spears’ legal team arranged for the division of their assets based on their premarital agreement, allowing her to retain her earnings accrued before, during, and after their marriage. They also requested that spousal support adhere to the terms outlined in their written agreement.
Asghari filed for divorce in August 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. The pair, who first met during the filming of Spears’ 2016 “Slumber Party” music video, celebrated their marriage in June 2022 but lasted only 14 months together. In an emotional social media post at the time of the split, Spears expressed her shock, stating, “6 years is a long time to be with someone, so I’m a little shocked but… I’m not here to explain why because it’s honestly nobody’s business!!!”
The couple did not have children together, although Spears experienced a miscarriage early in her pregnancy in May 2022.
Reflecting on their relationship, Asghari shared in a March interview that he felt grateful for the time they spent together, emphasizing that “people grow apart and people move on.” He described their relationship as a blessing, affirming that the experiences they shared will always remain a cherished chapter of his life.
While the end of this relationship is undoubtedly a significant milestone for Spears, it also marks a new beginning filled with potential for personal growth and self-discovery. This transition period could serve as an opportunity for her to focus on her career and happiness, embracing the future with hope and positivity.
In summary, Britney Spears has been granted legal single status, signifying a fresh start following her marriage to Sam Asghari, as both navigate new chapters in their lives apart from each other.
