Britney Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari have separated after a nuclear argument that involves allegations of cheating.
Sources with direct knowledge told TMZ that about a week ago, Sam confronted Britney over rumors she stepped out on him. It is not clear if the rumour is true but Sam believed it and the couple had a huge fight.
The sources say Sam has moved out of their house and is now living in a place of his own. As one source put it, “It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce.”
TMZ broke the story, there’s been “deep trouble” with the couple’s union for months … Sam wasn’t sleeping at the house much, and we’re told Britney has gotten physical with him in blowout fights that include frequent screaming matches.
Britney has a prenup which protects her assets, but one insider tells TMZ, the likely end to the marriage will be a check from Britney to Sam that will settle things, at least financially.
Sam has publicly defended Britney from critics, but privately we’re told he was frustrated … at wits’ end.
Sam and Britney started dating back in 2016, when he got a gig in one of her music videos. Since then, they’ve been practically inseparable.
Amid the #FreeBritney movement, Sam often expressed support for Brit’s fans … she shared plans of marrying him and starting a family. He even posed in a Free Britney t-shirt, which he posted to his Instagram.
Britney was ecstatic when Sam popped the question in September 2021 … sharing pics and video of her ring and happiness with her fans on social media.
Eventually, Sam and Britney said their “I Dos” and tied the knot in a small private ceremony at their Thousand Oaks home — not without drama, courtesy of one of her exes. Still, the ceremony itself seemed to go off without a hitch and they appeared happy.
While divorce documents haven’t been filed yet, sources close to the couple insist that it will happen soon.
