Britney Spears has finally addressed her split from Sam Asghari.
On August 16, TMZ reported that the couple had separated after a year of marriage.
According to the outlet, Sam confronted Britney over rumours she was allegedly unfaithful to him, which resulted in a major argument between them.
TMZ later reported that Sam filed paperwork to legally separate from Britney on August 16, after just 14 months of marriage.
In the documents, the Iranian-born actor is said to have listed the date of separation as July 28, 2023 and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Taking to Instagram on August 19, Britney shared a video of herself dancing.
The popstar captioned the post: “As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together… 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!!!,” Britney continued to write. “In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you!!!”
“I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and 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!!!”

It comes after Sam broke his silence on their split on August 17.
In a statement shared via his Instagram Stories, the Iranian-born actor penned: “After 6 years of love and commitment to each other, my wife and I have decided to end our journey together.”
“We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other, and I wish her the best always.”
“S**t happens,” Sam bluntly stated. “Asking for privacy seems ridiculous, so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful.”
Britney and Sam celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary just a few weeks ago, after having tied the knot on June 9, 2022.
The couple exchanged vows at the singer’s home in Los Angeles in front of 60 guests – which included some famous faces.
Fashion mogul Donnatella Versace was spotted amongst guests, whom Britney had previously teased designed her wedding look.
Drew Barrymore, Maria Menounos and Paris Hilton were also in attendance, along with Paris’ mother Kathy Hilton.
Madonna, who Britney famously kissed at the 2003 VMAs, stepped out at the star’s wedding too.
Other famous faces including Zendaya, Selena Gomez, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow were also said to have been in attendance.
Britney announced her engagement to Sam on September 12, 2021, by posting a video of her showing off her massive diamond ring, writing: “I can’t f***ing believe it 💍💍💍💍💍💍❣️!!!!!!”
