Sam Asghari, the ex-husband of pop icon Britney Spears, has denied the claims that he is challenging the prenuptial agreement he signed before their marriage and threatening to exploit her with videos. His rep, Brandon Cohen, issued a statement to The Messenger, saying that Sam has always and will always support Britney.
“There are many claims that Sam is challenging the prenup and threatening to exploit his ex-wife with videos,” Cohen said. “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.”
Sam and Britney met in 2016 on the set of her music video for “Slumber Party” and got engaged in September 2021. They tied the knot in June 2022 in a lavish ceremony at their home, but their marriage was short-lived. Sam filed for divorce on August 16, 2023, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting spousal support and attorney fees. He also listed their date of separation as July 28, 2023.
Britney Spears shares a cryptic post on Instagram after divorce news
Britney Spears has not publicly commented on her divorce from Sam Asghari, but she did share a cryptic post on Instagram on August 16, 2023. The singer posted a photo of herself riding a horse at the beach, saying that she is buying a horse soon and debating what to name it.
“So many options it’s kinda hard !!! A horse called Sophie and another called Roar ??? I can’t make up my mind !!!” she wrote. “Should I join the camaraderie and put a pink cowboy hat on ??? Either way I think I found my sweet spot with Roar !!!”
Some fans speculated that the post was a subtle reference to her divorce, as Roar is also the name of a hit song by Katy Perry, who famously sang “I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter / Dancing through the fire / ‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar” after her own split from Russell Brand.
