Britney Spears and Sam Asghari have split up after an “explosive fight” over cheating allegations, according to TMZ.
Sources told the outlet, which broke the story, that Asghari confronted the singer over rumors of infidelity. While TMZ notes that it cannot confirm “if the rumor has any basis in fact,” Asghari and Spears nonetheless had a “huge fight” that led to him moving out of their shared house.
“It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce,” a source said.
TMZ added that Spears and Asghari’s marriage has been in “deep trouble” for the past few months, with Asghari reportedly often sleeping elsewhere and the two of them getting into “blowout fights” and “frequent screaming matches.”
The couple, who started dating after meeting on the set of Spears’s “Slumber Party” music video in 2016, tied the knot in a lavish exclusive ceremony at her Los Angeles mansion in June 2022.
Asghari celebrated their first wedding anniversary with a tribute posted to his Instagram Story this past June.
Sharing a romantic montage featuring clips from their wedding, the model and actor wrote over the video, “One year married to the woman of my dreams. Happy anniversary my Love.”
Asghari talked about his relationship with Spears in a 2021 interview with Men’s Health. “I just want her to be happy,” he said at the time. “If something makes her happy, I’ll do it. I’m not going to argue. What’s that saying? ‘Happy wife, happy life.’”
