Britney Spears and her husband Sam Asghari have split after just 14 months of marriage.
The pair got married back in June 2022 and recent announcements have said that the couple have decided to go their separate ways.
TMZ reported that Sam filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” and July 28, 2023 was listed as the official date of separation.

Since the news, fans have been wondering how they didn’t notice that the pair had been on the rocks for a while.
From Sam ditching his ring to Britney stripping down for a pole-dancing session, there have been some serious hints over the last few months that things weren’t going well.

Two weeks before the news was announced, Sam took to Instagram to share a snap with his mother Fatima.
In the picture, Sam wore a red T-shirt and orange tracksuit bottoms as he sat on a couch with his arm around his mother, but one key detail was missing.
Fans noticed that Asghari was not wearing his wedding ring and alarm bells began to ring.
In the caption, Sam explained that his mother had been in a “major accident” and added a heartfelt message.
He told fans that “moments like these remind people of life’s preciousness” and kept the focus on his parent’s recent distress.

Soon after, puzzle pieces began to slot together as Britney was also spotted without her ring.
Back on August 16, Spears left her house minus her wedding ring and reports of a “heated confrontation” with her husband began circulating.
Claims of alleged infidelity on Spears’ part have been made but nothing has been confirmed.
Rumours that Sam had moved out also began to circulate.

Some believe that the pair began living apart just over a year into their marriage, but again there is no confirmation of this.
Asghari has been noticeably absent from Brit’s social media for some time now and the pop princess loves to post.
Britney often shares selfies and dancing videos on the daily to her 42million followers, so it wasn’t long before fans began to wonder where Sam was.
The authenticity of many allegations is uncertain but some think Asghari moved out and began living in a separate residence.

Just days before the news was announced, Britney took to Instagram to share possibly her most risqué video yet.
The singer loves to strip off to show her moves and fans are used to seeing Brit in the dance studio working on her routines.
However, Spears took things a step further for her most recent Instagram post and filmed herself pole dancing.

The blonde bombshell wore a tiny leopard print thong, a matching skimpy bikini top, long leopard print sleeves and black knee high heeled boots.
She wore her long blonde hair over her shoulders and outlined her eyes in thick black eyeliner as she grabbed hold of the bright pink pole.
The apparatus had a black base with the words “x-pole” written and began to swing around the pole.

Fans got a 360 view as she started her routine and in the background, many noticed that Britney had surrounded herself with full length mirrors.
Spears danced to Nine Inch Nails’ song Closer, which features very raunchy lyrics.
In the caption for the social media post, Britney wrote: “Got this pole two days ago and last night was my first time on it.”
Assault allegations

TMZ Investigates released a documentary titled Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom and they claimed that the pair were “on the rocks”.
The documentary also alleged that Brit and Sam had a “volatile relationship” and claims that Britney assaulted her husband were made.
Sources said that she would be “physical with Sam” and, according to the claims, it happened on “more than one” occasion.

Asghari took to social media after the documentary was released and called out TMZ.
He said it was “absolutely disgusting” and urged his fans not to “believe what you read online” in a desperate video shared to Instagram.
