- Celeb-Filled Star-Studded Marriage Ends After 14 Months
The couple ended their “journey together,” according to Sam Asghari, after 14 months.
Mr. Asghari, 29, and Ms. Spears, 41, cited “irreconcilable differences” in their divorce petition filed on Wednesday.
The couple became engaged in September 2021 and were married in June 2022 in a modest, star-studded ceremony.
This year, US tabloids reported on rumors of their marital difficulties.
At the age of 16, when her song…Baby One More Time was released, and Ms. Spears became a global phenomenon. She had further success with songs such as Toxic, Womaniser, and Oops!… I Did It Again.
Mr. Asghari wrote on Instagram, “After six years of love and commitment, my wife and I have decided to terminate our journey together.
“We will maintain the affection and respect we have for one another, and I wish her the best for all time”.
Sh*t occurs.
“Asking for privacy seems ridiculous, so I will simply request that everyone, including the media, be kind and considerate.”
Ms. Spears’ representatives have not yet commented.
Instead of addressing the divorce in a post to her 42 million Instagram followers on Wednesday night, the musician wrote that she was “soon buying a horse.”
Mr. Asghari’s petition for dissolution of marriage filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court requests that Ms. Spears pay spousal support and attorney fees.
In 2016, the Iranian-American actor, model, and fitness trainer met Ms. Spears during the filming of the music video for her song “Slumber Party.”
He publicly supported her victory over her father Jamie’s conservatorship before their marriage.
Celebrities including Paris Hilton, Madonna, and Drew Barrymore attended their wedding at the celebrity residence in Thousand Oaks, California, which took place a year ago.
They were recently spotted in public without their wedding bands.
Ms. Spears is currently preparing to release her memoir, The Woman in Me, in October.
This concludes her third marriage.
In 2004, she married Jason Alexander, a childhood friend, for 55 hours in Las Vegas before annulling the marriage at the prompting of her management team.
Mr. Alexander, who was spotted participating in the pro-Trump riot at the US Capitol in Washington, DC in January 2021, attempted to disrupt the wedding of Ms. Spears and Mr. Asghari hours before the ceremony.
The judge ordered him to stay away from her for trespassing, vandalism, and two counts of battery.
The duration of Ms. Spears’ second marriage to rapper Kevin Federline was from 2004 to 2007. Mr. Federline has sole custody of Jayden James and Sean Preston, their two children.
