Britney Spears shocked fans overnight when she announced her engagement to long-term boyfriend Sam Asghari - real name Hesam - but just one year later, they have split.
Court documents filed on Wednesday cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ for the divorce, and revealed that the pair had separated three weeks ago. The couple are now allegedly only talking through lawyers, according to TMZ’s sources.
Breaking her silence on the split, Britney said that although it was a ‘shock’ she could ‘no longer take the pain.’ Meanwhile, Sam claimed they would ‘continue to hold on to the love and respect’ they had for each other, and added that ‘s**t happens.’
Sam Asghari is an Iranian-born personal trainer, model, and actor who has appeared on the Showtime series Black Monday, as well as Hacks and The Family Business. He owns Asghari Fitness, a website that offers personalized training programs.
Britney and Sam first met in 2016 when she hired him to appear as her love interest in her Slumber Party music video. After striking up a conversation on set, they exchanged phones numbers and went out on a date for sushi. Just a few months later, on New Year’s Day 2017, Britney made things Instagram official by posting a photo of Sam putting his arm around her at dinner.
The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in June 2022 at Britney’s home in Thousand Oaks, Los Angeles. Special celebrity guests like Selena Gomez, Paris Hilton, and Madonna were in attendance. The pair made the day their own and opted not to have a first dance, and Britney walked herself down the aisle.
It has been reported that Sam and Britney had an ‘ironclad’ prenup in place before getting married. A source close to Britney refuted the claims of renegotiating to The Daily Mail, calling it ‘absurd.’
Britney has been married twice before Sam. She wed childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004, before the marriage was annulled a few days later. Later that year, the star married backing dancer Kevin Federline, however the pair divorced in 2007. They share two sons – Sean, 15, and Jayden, 14.
