Britney Spears and Sam Asghari got married in June 2022 on the singer's property.

The insider explained that though the "intensity" surrounding Spears was "killing him," he "tried to make it work."

"It's been draining, yet his love never wavered. He just wishes people understood the depth of what they're going through," the source added.

"She's not letting [Sam] in the home and they aren't talking," the source shared. "They have had problems for a while and all of the drama surrounding Britney was incredibly hard for Sam to take."

The "Toxic" singer and the 29-year-old apparently got into a blowout fight, where Asghari accused Spears of cheating on him, which was allegedly the catalyst for the split.

However, another source said they doubted any infidelity took place: "Their friends would be really surprised if Britney cheated and they just don't see that as a possibility."

"Although things seemed OK on the surface, there was a lot going on behind the scenes. Sam just wasn't happy and no longer saw a future with Britney," they added.
