Britney Spears’ soon-to-be ex husband is allegedly seeking a bigger payoff from the pop star than was originally agreed in their prenup, in exchange for keeping her secrets.
A source claimed on Wednesday (August 16) that Sam Asghari is “attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid”.

Another source claimed that the Baby One More Time singer was “protected” by her team, and the “parting will be respectful”.
“It’s blackmail and it’ll never happen,” the insider added.

According to Page Six, it is unclear how much money the 29-year-old actor wants from Britney, or whether the current prenup permits disclosures of negative information.
But according to a separate insider, “any money she made before the wedding is protected”.
Britney and Sam signed a prenuptial agreement that is believed to be in the pop star’s “favour”.
And it’s thought that Mathew Rosengart, the lawyer responsible for freeing Britney from her 13-year conservatorship in November 2021, was involved in working out the terms of the prenuptial agreement.

TMZ claims that Sam filed the paperwork on Wednesday and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split, with their official split date listed as July 28.
Sam has reportedly already moved out of their shared home.
Having been in a relationship since 2017, the couple initially met on the set of the Slumber Party music video in 2016 and became engaged in September 2021.
The pop star’s wish to marry Sam was among the factors she highlighted in her efforts to terminate her conservatorship.
On June 9, 2022, the couple were finally able to exchange vows, a milestone previously forbidden under the conservatorship.
The marriage to Sam is Britney’s third, having divorced Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two children, Sean and Jayden, in 2007.
The Toxic hitmaker was also married to childhood pal Jason Alexander for 55 hours.
