Sam Asghari filed for divorce in August 2023.
Neither of the stars have revealed what lead to their split, though the mom-of-two, 42, shared some hints via social media posts.
āIt's so weird being singleā¦ I've had a lot of time to really look back with all the good and badā¦ I've realized I don't talk to myself that nicely at allā¦ I'm easily manipulated and I wear my heart on my sleeveā¦ā Spears admitted in one post.
āBut I'm definitely changing all thatā¦ I have to make time to stop and look around to re-evaluate myself and say is this good for me???ā she added.

The duo started dating in 2016.
"I like a routine and I usually do the same thing every dayā¦. l'm honestly bored but I'm also scared of a lot of thingsā¦" continued the blonde beauty. "The way I live my life is mine... I've had so many people interfere with thatā¦ But to know itās ok to be selfish with my life and enjoy it is amazing!!! I will say my routine and daily affairs seem silly sometimesā¦"

Asghari was Spears' third husband.
Though their divorce proceeding has been stalled since the personal trainer, 29, hasn't filed the paperwork, a separate insider claimed he may be doing so to try and get more money in the split.
"She feels Sam is playing the āMr. Britney Spearsā card for everything itās worth," the source spilled. "She finds it kind of pathetic."
Asghari "feels he should be compensated properly for everything he went through with Britney," the insider added, likely referring to Spears' erratic behavior over the years.

"The exact amount he wants is being kept confidential, but heās not happy with what Britney and her team have proposed," the source explained, noting the settlement is "stuck in limbo" at the moment.
"Thereās a lot of wrangling back and forth," the source said. "Things have become a lot more complicated than both of them had hoped it would be ... Sam isnāt hurting for cash, but heās willing to dig in and fight for the extra money he feels he deserves."
