Britney Spears’s husband, Sam Asghari, filed for divorce on Wednesday, just over a year after their marriage. This comes after Spears was released from a conservatorship that controlled her life for more than a decade. The couple’s California marriage in June 2022 marked a significant moment for Spears, as it was one of her first major life decisions following the termination of the conservatorship that had governed her personal and financial affairs for 13 years. Prior to the marriage, Spears had expressed her desire to marry and have another child during a heartfelt speech to a judge, where she described the conservatorship as “abusive.” The divorce filing, submitted in Los Angeles Superior Court, states that the couple separated on July 28, with irreconcilable differences cited as the legal grounds for divorce.
Spears’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, declined to comment on the matter. The battle over her conservatorship has sparked a reconsideration of the media’s treatment of her struggles and has led to public apologies from various publications. However, the news of her divorce has already made headlines worldwide, raising questions about whether much has truly changed.
This marriage to Asghari, a personal trainer, is Spears’s third. Her first marriage, to childhood friend Jason Allan Alexander, was annulled shortly after in 2004. She then divorced her second husband, Kevin Federline, in 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. Spears and Asghari first met in 2016 when he appeared in the music video for her single “Slumber Party.” They have since openly discussed their relationship in interviews and frequently shared moments from their personal lives on social media, particularly on Spears’s Instagram account. Prior to their marriage, Spears revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage.
The conservatorship was established in 2008 due to concerns about Spears’s mental health. Her father, James P. Spears, exercised control over her personal and financial matters while she continued to perform and generate substantial profits as a prominent pop star. The restrictive nature of the conservatorship garnered significant attention from news outlets, documentary films, and fans who rallied behind the #FreeBritney movement. In 2021, Spears publicly addressed the distress she experienced under the conservatorship, detailing instances of being drugged and coerced into working against her will. She expressed her desire to regain control of her life and the freedom to marry and have a child.
In 2021, the judge suspended James P. Spears from his role as his daughter’s estate overseer and subsequently ruled to end the conservatorship in November of the same year. TMZ was the first to report the news of the couple’s divorce proceedings. In the court filing, Asghari indicated that he would be seeking spousal support. Spears’s fans eagerly await her firsthand account of the conservatorship’s impact and its termination, which will be revealed in her upcoming memoir, “The Woman in Me,” set to be released on October 24.
