In August 2023, Britney Spears and Sam Asghari announced their separation. The singer of the hit «Oops! I Did It Again» confirmed the news of the divorce in a lengthy Instagram post. It was reported that Sam filed for divorce on August 16, citing «irreconcilable differences» as the reason for the split.
«As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together… [six] years is a long time to be with someone, so I am a bit shocked, but… I’m not going to explain why, because honestly, it’s nobody’s business!!!» Britney wrote. «But I couldn’t take the pain anymore!!! In some telepathic way, I received so many messages from friends that melted my heart, and I am grateful to you!!!»
The pop princess added: «I pretended to be strong for too long, and my Instagram may seem perfect, but it’s far from reality, and I think we all know that!!! I would like to show my emotions and tears, but for some reason, I always had to hide my weaknesses!!! If I hadn’t been my father’s strong soldier, I would have been sent to places to be treated by doctors!!! But that’s when I needed family the most!!! You should love unconditionally… not conditionally!!! So I will be as strong as I can and do my best!!! And actually, I’m doing pretty well!!! Anyway, have a good day, and don’t forget to smile!!!»
Sam, for his part, also tried to maintain a positive tone in his Instagram statement.
«After six years of love and devotion to each other, my wife and I have decided to end our journey together», - he wrote on a black background. «We will keep the love and respect we have for each other, and I will always wish her the best. Things happen. Asking for personal space seems ridiculous, so I will just ask everyone, including the media, to be kind and considerate».
The following year, Sam opened up about their breakup in an interview with PEOPLE, calling their past marriage «an amazing experience».
«It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. People grow apart», - he noted, adding that he doesn’t want to spread negative comments about his past relationship. «I will never do that because I only had an amazing experience and a wonderful life, and that will always be a part of my life, a chapter of my life».
Sam and Britney first met in late 2016 on the set of the music video «Slumber Party». After five years of dating, the couple announced their engagement in September 2021. The following year, now separated, the couple exchanged vows in a stunning ceremony in Los Angeles in June 2022.
Fans finally got a glimpse into Britney and Sam’s marriage and their breakup in her memoir «The Woman in Me», - which was released in 2023. When asked how he felt about being called «a gift from God» in the book, he responded warmly. «It made me smile», - he told a TMZ reporter in a video shot on October 25 in Los Angeles. «I'm damn proud of her», - he continued. «And I hope she conquers the world»
