Inside Britney Spears and Sam Asghari's divorce

In August 2023, Asghari filed for divorce from Spears after one year of marriage.

The now estranged couple began dating in 2016, according to OK Magazine.

Despite them not revealing the reason behind the split, the 42-year-old singer provided subtle hints in hers posts on social media.

“It's so weird being single… I've had a lot of time to really look back with all the good and bad… I've realized I don't talk to myself that nicely at all… I'm easily manipulated and I wear my heart on my sleeve…” Spears previously shared in a post.

“But I'm definitely changing all that… I have to make time to stop and look around to re-evaluate myself and say is this good for me???," she added.

"I like a routine and I usually do the same thing every day…. l'm honestly bored but I'm also scared of a lot of things…" she continued.

"The way I live my life is mine... I've had so many people interfere with that… But to know it’s ok to be selfish with my life and enjoy it is amazing!!! I will say my routine and daily affairs seem silly sometimes…," Spears shared.

“Britney’s not looking to go after Sam. She just wants [to talk about] why the relationship broke down," the source noted.

Another source claimed that Asghari has not yet filed the paperwork, suggesting he may be doing so to get more money in the divorce.

"She feels Sam is playing the ‘Mr. Britney Spears’ card for everything it’s worth. She finds it kind of pathetic," the source said.

The 29-year-old personal trainer "feels he should be compensated properly for everything he went through with Britney," the source added.

"The exact amount he wants is being kept confidential, but he’s not happy with what Britney and her team have proposed. There’s a lot of wrangling back and forth. Things have become a lot more complicated than both of them had hoped it would be ... Sam isn’t hurting for cash, but he’s willing to dig in and fight for the extra money he feels he deserves," the insider continued.
