"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 its honestly nobody’s business!!!" Spears declared days after Asghari filed for divorce.

She continued: "But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly!!! In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you!!!"

Asghari has appeared to be rather respectful of Spears — at least from what the public can see — in the months after calling it quits on their marriage, as he spoke fondly of their time together during a recent interview.

"It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on," he expressed at the beginning of March. "I've always hated people leaving a certain relationship — and at some point they told each other they love each other and they sat at the same table and ate food [together] — so I never understood when people part ways [and] they talk badly about each other."
