Pop star Britney Spears has broken her silence after her husband, Sam Asghari, filed for divorce just one year into their marriage. Spears took to Instagram to share her thoughts, stating that she "couldn't take the pain anymore." While she acknowledged that their divorce is nobody's business, she expressed her shock at the turn of events. Spears shared a video of herself dancing and thanked her friends for their heartfelt messages of support.
The singer admitted to playing a strong role for too long and hiding her weaknesses. She revealed that she often felt the need to hide her emotions and tears, fearing that she would be sent away for treatment. Spears emphasized the importance of unconditional love and how she needed her family the most during difficult times.
Asghari also broke his silence on the split, stating that after six years of love and commitment, they have decided to end their journey together. He expressed his respect and love for Spears, adding a casual remark of "s-t happens." In his divorce filing, Asghari requested spousal support and asked for various assets, including their two dogs-Porsha, a Doberman, and Sawyer, an Australian Shepherd.
However, despite the division of assets, Asghari will not receive any part of Spears' fortune due to an airtight prenuptial agreement. The couple first met on the set of Spears' music video “Slumber Party” in 2016 but kept their relationship private due to her conservatorship. Asghari proposed to Spears in September 2021, just two months before her conservatorship ended. They married less than a year later in a private ceremony.
The divorce proceedings could become more complicated as Spears reportedly refuses to allow Asghari to have custody of their two dogs. Asghari gifted Porsha to Spears in 2021, and they adopted Sawyer together in February. Asghari's filing mentioned "various items," which Spears fears could include their furry companions. A source close to the singer revealed that dividing their assets, particularly the dogs, will be the most challenging part of the process.
Spears also seems uninterested in keeping the four-carat engagement ring Asghari gave her, as it was allegedly free from the jeweler. Despite the ongoing divorce, both Spears and Asghari have requested privacy and kindness from the media and the public. Asghari's representative denied claims that he is challenging the prenuptial agreement or intending to exploit his ex-wife with videos. They emphasized his continued support for Spears.
Despite the recent turmoil, Spears is reportedly doing well and is excited about her upcoming memoir, "The Woman in Me," and new music. The end of her conservatorship has allowed her to regain control of her life and career. As the divorce proceedings unfold, fans await further updates on the situation.
