Britney Spears has broken her silence about her split from husband Sam Asghari, Page Six reports.
According to the outlet, the singer took to Instagram to address the news, revealing that she is “a little shocked” after their six-year relationship came to an end.
“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,” Spears said on Friday.
Spears emphasised that the reasons for their separation are “honestly nobody’s business,” but she confessed that she couldn’t endure the pain any longer.
In her heartfelt statement, Spears acknowledged that her seemingly perfect social media presence didn’t reflect her reality, and she thanked friends for their support.
News of their split came just two days after reports confirmed the couple’s impending divorce after one year of marriage.
Sources told TMZ that the Iranian-born actor, 29, and the songstress, 41, got into a “nuclear argument” at the beginning of August over rumours that Spears had been unfaithful.
Following the fight, Asghari reportedly moved out of their shared home while weighing his next moves.
Despite rumours that he might challenge their prenup, Asghari’s representative denied any intention to exploit Spears and stated his continued support for her.
The relationship between Spears and Asghari had been relatively private since they met in 2016. They got engaged in September 2021 and tied the knot less than a year later. However, rumours of trouble in paradise had surfaced earlier, and Asghari was spotted without his wedding ring shortly before the split.
The public’s attention remains on the iconic singer and her personal life as she navigates this new chapter.
