Multiple insiders have recently informed PEOPLE that after a 14-month marital journey, Britney Spears and Sam Asghari have decided to part ways.
The Divorce Filing
Sam Asghari, on Wednesday, officially filed for divorce from his renowned wife, Britney Spears. While Asghari's management chose to remain silent on the matter, Spears' representatives have yet to comment.
Their Love Story
The duo first crossed paths in 2016 during the filming of Spears' music video for "Slumber Party." Their relationship blossomed, leading to their marriage in June 2022.
However, by February, there were whispers about concerns from Spears' close associates. By March, rumors about potential marital issues were rampant, but these were promptly dismissed by Asghari's representative, Brandon Cohen of BAC Talent.
Addressing the Ring Controversy
Photos showcasing Asghari and Spears without their wedding rings stirred further speculation. Cohen clarified that Asghari had removed his ring due to a film shoot. Interestingly, Asghari had announced in November about securing a role in the TV series "Lioness," crafted by Taylor Sheridan.
Asghari's Unwavering Support
Before their marriage, Asghari was a pillar of strength for Spears, especially during her mental health treatment phase in 2019.
As Spears underwent a comprehensive wellness treatment in April 2019, Asghari played a pivotal role, particularly when Spears was grappling with her father's health issues.
A source close to the Spears family mentioned, "Sam's presence has been immensely beneficial for Britney.
His positive vibes have been a boon for her. Their shared passion for fitness is evident as they often indulge in workouts together."
Standing by Spears During Conservatorship
Asghari's support was unwavering during Spears' conservatorship battle. Post Spears' heartfelt address at a conservatorship hearing in Los Angeles in June 2021, Asghari, donning a #FreeBritney T-shirt on his Instagram, was termed as Spears' "rock."
An insider revealed, "For years, Sam has been Britney's anchor. He ensures her well-being, from her diet to her workouts. She relies on him wholeheartedly. Despite his commitments, he's always there for her."
