NextImg:Britney Spears’ husband Sam Asghari files for divorce following cheating allegations

Sam Asghari and Britney Spears are officially calling it quits.

The fitness trainer filed for divorce from the pop star Wednesday, just hours after news of their split, per ET.

According to TMZ, Asghari cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for ending the marriage. He is also asking for spousal support and attorneys fees.

Curiously, he listed their separation date as July 28.

Per TMZ, the court docs also put in question their prenup, saying, “[Asghari] has yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of each party.”

“There are various items of community and quasi-community assets and debts, the full nature and extent of which are unknown to [Sam] at this time,” it continued.

Rumors that Asghari, 29, and Spears, 41, were on the rocks have been swirling for a while amid reports that the two were living apart for quite some time.

The two began dating in 2016 after Spears hired Asghari to star in her music video for “Slumber Party.”

Page Six then confirmed earlier on Aug. 16 that the former lovebirds had split. Sources claimed to TMZ that the two had “a nuclear argument” that involved allegations of cheating.

Multiple insiders told the outlet that a fight reportedly broke out after Asghari confronted Spears about a rumor claiming the “Toxic” singer had been unfaithful to him.

 “It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce,” one source said, noting that Asghari had already been living in a place of his own.

The report came just a few months after Asghari took to his Instagram Stories to slam TMZ’s “disgusting” TV special about Spears, which included allegations that their marriage was in “trouble.”

“I found it absolutely disgusting for the people who were in her life when she didn’t have a voice, they went and told her story like it was theirs. It was absolutely disgusting,” Asghari said in a series of videos, referencing his wife’s traumatic, years-long conservatorship that was terminated in November 2021.

“How are you going to take the most influential person of her generation, the Princess of Pop, America’s sweetheart, and put her in prison where her father [Jamie Spears] tells her what to do, what water to drink, who to see and use her as a money-making machine?” he continued.

“All of a sudden — after 15 years when she’s free after all those gaslighting, all those things that went down — now you’re going to put her under a microscope and tell her story? No, no, that’s also disgusting, so don’t do that, and don’t believe what you read online.”

“Sam has been a huge support for Britney,” a source told Page Six in June 2021. “He helps boost her confidence.”

They got engaged in September 2021 and tied the knot in the backyard of Spears’ mansion in Thousand Oaks, Calif., in June 2022. Stars like Madonna, Selena Gomez, Paris Hilton and Drew Barrymore were all in attendance to watch the couple say “I do” during the fairy-tale ceremony.

“Britney and Sam signed a prenup in her favor,” a source told Page Six at the time. “Any money she made before the wedding is protected.”

The nuptials marked Spears’ third time down the aisle. She was previously married to childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander in 2004 and backup dancer-turned-DJ Kevin Federline from 2004 to 2007. She shares two kids with her second ex-husband: Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden James, 16.
