After her ex-partner Hesam "Sam" Asghari, Britney Spears also confirmed the separation and spoke about the situation.
"As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together," Britney wrote on Instagram. “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 honestly it's nobody's business! But I honestly couldn't take the pain anymore."
The 41-year-old went on to reveal how she pretended everything was fine for a long time and noted that life on social media "may look perfect" but in reality it's different.
"I would love to show my emotions and tears about how I really feel, but for some reason I've always had to hide my weaknesses," she continued.
“They are supposed to love us unconditionally...not with conditions. So I will be as strong as I can and do my best. And I'm actually pretty good. Anyway, have a nice day and don't forget to smile," the singer concluded.
On the other hand, Sam previously hinted at what went wrong according to him. In a statement posted online, the model and fitness trainer said:
"After six years of love and commitment to each other, my wife and I have decided to end our journey together. We will keep the love and respect we have for each and I wish her always the best. Things happen. Asking for privacy seems ridiculous, so I'm just going to ask that everyone, including the media, be kind."
Documents filed in a Los Angeles court on Wednesday cited "irreconcilable differences" for the divorce and stated that the couple had separated almost three weeks ago.
They met in 2016 and married in June 2022.
Their marriage was the first for Sam Asghari, 29, and the third for Spears, 41. She married Kevin Federline, with whom she has two children - Sean and Jayden - in 2004 and divorced him in 2007. She married childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004, but the marriage was annulled after just 55 hours.
