Pop icon Britney Spears has entered her 43rd year with a significant legal milestone. On December 2, 2024, Spears was officially declared legally single, marking the formal end of her marriage to Sam Asghari. This legal recognition came seven months after the couple reached a divorce settlement in May 2024, which had been filed and settled earlier in the year.
Although the divorce settlement had already been finalized, it was on Spears’ birthday that the legal dissolution of her marriage was officially recognized. Legal documents obtained by E! News confirmed that December 2 was the final date of the marriage’s termination. The divorce, which was described as uncontested, signified a mutual agreement between Britney and Sam Asghari, who legally goes by Hesam Asghari, regarding the division of their assets and any support obligations.
The divorce marked the end of a three-year marriage between the singer and the 30-year-old actor and personal trainer. Sam initially filed for divorce in August 2023, just over a year after their wedding. In his public statement at the time, Sam expressed hopes that the media and public would approach the matter with respect and kindness, emphasizing that they would continue to hold love and respect for one another. “I wish her the best always,” he said, as per E! News.
Britney, who shares two children—Sean, 19, and Jayden, 18—with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, opened up about the breakup shortly after Sam’s divorce filing. On Instagram, she shared a heartfelt message, admitting that the end of her relationship came as a shock. “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 it’s honestly nobody’s business!!! But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly!!!” she wrote. She further expressed that it had been challenging to publicly share her emotions, often feeling pressured to hide her vulnerabilities.
Despite the pain of the separation, Britney showed resilience and strength, concluding, “I will be as strong as I can and do my best!!! And I’m actually doing pretty damn good!!!” The couple, who began dating in 2016, has remained amicable post-divorce, with Britney even referring to Sam as a “gift from God” in her October 2023 memoir The Woman in Me. Sam later expressed his gratitude for this sentiment, telling TMZ, “That part made me smile.”
Sam Asghari, who has shifted his focus from fitness to acting, recently reflected on his life changes in a new phase. Speaking about his transition, he said, “It’s the bed that you make yourself, and you got to learn how to lay in it, so it’s part of the lifestyle.” Emphasizing the importance of staying positive and grounded, Sam added, “You just got to keep it positive, and you got to stay grounded and understand what the truth is and really just live with that rather than other people’s opinions or anything like that.”
As Britney Spears embarks on a new chapter of her life, fans continue to support her journey, looking forward to her future endeavors while acknowledging the end of a significant relationship.
