Britney Spears opened up about her husband Sam Asghari filing for divorce in a heartfelt message to fans.

The pop icon took to Instagram on Friday evening, writing, “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 !!! 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!!!”

She continued, “I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that!!! I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses!!! If I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors!!! But that’s when I needed family the most!!! You’re supposed to be loved unconditionally…not under conditions!!!! So I will be as strong as I can and do my best!!! And I’m actually doing pretty damn good!!! Anyways have a good day and don’t forget to smile!!!”.

The pair’s split comes after 14 months of marriage. According to the divorce filing, July 28 was listed as their date of separation. Asghari cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

Spears and Asghari met when he was hired in 2016 to work on one of her music videos.

They dated for several years before getting engaged in September 2021 and tied the knot at an intimate, star-studded ceremony at their Thousand Oaks home in June 2022.

They were also together during the singer’s conservatorship before a Los Angeles County judge ruled to terminate the conservatorship in November 2021.
