Britney Spears has finalised her divorce from Sam Asghari on her 43rd birthday.

The pop superstar is now officially a single woman and, according to court documents obtained by TMZ, getting the 30-year-old fitness instructor-turned-actor to sign a prenup paid off, as she got away with paying him “virtually nothing”.

Britney and Sam – whose birth name is Hesam - were married from June 2022 until July 2023, and it was the model who requested the divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

Just after their split, the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker took to social media to admit that she was “a little shocked” about their breakup.

Britney wrote on Instagram at the time: “As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together … six years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because it’s honestly nobody’s business. But, I couldn’t take the pain any more, honestly.” Britney also thanked her fans for their support.

She said: “In some sort of telepathic way, I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you.

“I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that. I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but for some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses.”

The ‘Jackpot’ star - who met Britney in 2016 on the set for her music video for ‘Slumber Party’ - previously insisted that he doesn’t have any bitter feelings towards his ex.

Asked if he’d been in touch with Britney, Sam told ‘Extra’: “I just wish her the best.”

A recent report claimed Britney is “sober” and “done with men” as she continues to “heal from her trauma”.

The superstar regained control of her multimillion-dollar fortune and her personal affairs when a conservatorship previously run by her father Jamie was terminated in November 2021, and she is now “focusing on herself”.
