Pop superstar Britney Spears marked her 43rd birthday with an unexpected milestone as her divorce from Sam Asghari was officially finalized on December 2, 2023, according to legal documents.
The "Baby One More Time" singer's 14-month marriage to Asghari, 30, came to an end after he filed for divorce in August 2023. The swift resolution was aided by a prenuptial agreement that left Asghari with minimal assets, though Spears did cover his housing costs for several months following their separation.
The couple's relationship began in 2016 when they met on the set of Spears' "Slumber Party" music video. Asghari remained a steadfast supporter during Spears' conservatorship battle, proposing shortly after its termination in 2021. Their star-studded wedding in 2022 featured guests including Paris Hilton, Selena Gomez, and Madonna.
This marks the end of Spears' third marriage, following previous unions with Jason Alexander and Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two sons, Jayden and Sean.
Both parties have reportedly moved forward with their lives since the split. Spears has been linked to landscaper Paul Soliz, while Asghari has been seen with Brooke Irvine.
The divorce settlement allows both parties to begin new chapters, with the timing coinciding with Spears' birthday offering a symbolic fresh start for the pop icon as she enters her 43rd year.
