Sam Asghari filed for divorce from Britney Spears after a brief 14-month marriage.

The fitness trainer shed light on the cause behind their separation, revealing that they gradually drifted apart.

Their romantic journey began in 2017, culminating in Asghari's proposal in 2021. However, their relationship was not meant to last, leading to a divorce filing in August 2023.

Britney Spears' Divorce

Sam Asghari disclosed that the decision to divorce stemmed from "growing apart."

He expressed admiration and respect for his former wife in his explanation, telling People magazine, "It was a blessing to share life with someone for a long time. People grow apart, and people move on."

The upcoming actor also committed to speaking positively about his past relationship with Spears.

He told the outlet, "I never understood when people part ways [and] talk badly about each other."

"That's something I'm never going to do because I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life, and that's always going to be part of my life, a chapter of my life."

Despite the end of his marriage with Britney Spears, Asghari remains optimistic about the future.

The most important female presence in his life is his loyal Doberman companion, Porsha.

"I always have the most positive mindset about life. My experiences in life have shaped me into the man I am today. I will continue growing. I come from a place where we celebrate our past."

"I look back fondly. My past was a blessing and beautiful."

The Aftermath

Following the announcement of their divorce due to irreconcilable differences, Sam Asghari initiated the legal paperwork to officially end his marriage to Britney Spears.

The "Baby One More Time" singer then went on Instagram to confirm the news.

"As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together."

"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 it's honestly nobody's business!!! But, I couldn't take the pain anymore honestly !!!"

Expressing gratitude to her supporters, Spears reflected on the facade of perfection portrayed on her Instagram account.

Despite the outward appearance of strength, the mom-of-two acknowledged the disconnect from reality.

She also yearned to openly share her vulnerabilities and genuine emotions, regretting the compulsion to conceal her weaknesses over time.

Following her divorce, it has also come to light that she has found companionship with her previous housekeeper, Paul Richard Soliz.

It is rumored that Spears and Soliz frequently share evenings during the week. An insider shared with Us Weekly, "When he has to depart, she expresses discontent. [Spears] believes she merits greater focus, yet he prioritizes his children."
