Britney Spears has shared the “real” reason behind her divorce from her husband Sam Asghari.
The news of the superstar couple’s split first started circling after TMZ reported that the pair had decided to go their separate ways with Asghari, 29, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the main reason for ending the marriage.
“It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce,” a source told the outlet.
Page Six also shared other claims about the breakdown, alleging that the personal trainer is now looking to contest the original prenup agreed between them.

Neal Hersh, Asghari’s lawyer, apparently hinted that the personal trainer could be looking to contest their prenup as the court documents reportedly read: “[He] 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,” the documents continued.
Another source also told Page Six that the 29-year-old apparently wants to renegotiate in return for keeping the singer’s “secrets.”
They said: “[He is] attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid.
“So that’s what Sam is focused on,” they added.
However, a report published by Variety stated that these allegations were false and Asghari has no “negative” intentions towards his ex-wife.
His representative Brandon Cohen said: “There are many claims that Sam is challenging the prenup and threatening to exploit his ex-wife with videos. However, all these claims are false, as no negative intention has ever been directed towards her and never will be.
“Sam has always and will always support her,” Cohen added.
In the wake of the drama, Spears has taken to Instagram to address all the rumors, stating that it is “nobody’s business” but hers.
“As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together,” she said in the caption alongside a video of her dancing in her home. “6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but… I’m not here to explain why because its honestly nobody’s business !!!
“But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly !!!”, she continued, outlining the reason behind the decision. “In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you !!!”
The ‘Toxic’ singer then went on to say that she was “playing it strong for way too long” before adding: “…My Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that !!! I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses !!!
“If I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors !!! But that’s when I needed family the most !!! You’re supposed to be loved unconditionally… not under conditions !!!! So I will be as strong as I can and do my best !!! And I’m actually doing pretty damn good !!! Anyways have a good day and don’t forget to smile !!!” she concluded.
According to Variety, Spears has hired Hollywood divorce lawyer Laura Wasser to represent her in the separation, along with her longstanding attorney Mathew Rosengart, who famously got her out of her 13-year conservatorship in 2021.
The couple was only married for a total of 14 months before calling it quits.
Let’s hope they manage to work out their differences during this difficult time.
