And it’s believed that Sam has moved out of the marital home he shared with the singer and is now living alone.
A source told TMZ: “It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce.”
Britney met fitness model Sam in October 2016 on the set of her Slumber Party music video and the rest appeared to be history.

Sadly, the couple announced in a joint Instagram post that they’d suffered a miscarriage and lost their “miracle baby”.
They said “I do” in front of a small and exclusive guest list in June 2022, which did not include Britney’s mum Lynne Spears, dad Jamie Spears or sister Jamie Lynn Spears.
Her brother Bryan was believed to be the only exception to the star’s “no family” rule at the ceremony.
The couple proceeded to enjoy a dreamy and exotic honeymoon and shared loved up snaps on Instagram before things went south n their relationship.
