Britney Spears has finally settled her divorce from third husband Hesam ‘Sam’ Asghari after a nine-month legal separation and only 14 months of marriage.
The 42-year-old Grammy winner and the 30-year-old Special Ops: Lioness actor are just waiting for the judge to sign off on the completed divorce paperwork filed by her powerful attorney Laura Wasser, according to TMZ.
Sam and his lawyer Neal Hirsh decided against contesting the prenuptial agreement, which protects Britney’s reported $60M fortune.
The outlet had previously reported that Spears paid Asghari’s rent at his new bachelor pad, and she was going to cut him a six-figure check – both of which are still unclear.
The Hold Me Closer hitmaker was rumored to have ‘cheated’ on the Iranian-born muscleman with a ‘staff member’ at her $11.8M Calabasas mansion, and he was once spotted with a black eye and bite marks on his arm amid domestic abuse allegations.

On April 4, Britney posted (then deleted) an old video of herself dancing with Sam while pondering the ‘crucial’ notion of looking back at past relationships.
‘If you know me, you know how I love – I love too much. It’s embarrassing and I will love you for life! That’s a trait I want to try and keep but it’s not all peaches and cream as they say,’ Spears wrote at the time.
‘I used to be told all the time by someone I truly loved that, “There is no looking at that face of yours.” My hopes in sharing is that by remembering that I can try and understand why I never feel good enough and to know it’s okay to get inside my brain try to figure it out. Honestly, there is an all knowing spiritual eye that knows the truth and triggers to why we do things as people. It’s important to go in there and figure it out yourself!’
And last December, the Mississippi-born singer wrote: ‘It’s so weird being single. I’ve had a lot of time to really look back with all the good and bad. I’ve realized I don’t talk to myself that nicely at all. I’m easily manipulated and I wear my heart on my sleeve.’
Britney and Sam tied the knot on June 9, 2022 at a star-studded ceremony inside her former Thousand Oaks mansion less than a month after they suffered a miscarriage, and they had planned on ‘continuing to try to expand our beautiful family’ which did not happen.
‘I have an appreciation for how stable he is,’ Spears wrote of Asghari in her NY Times-bestselling 2023 memoir The Woman In Me.
‘I love that he doesn’t drink. He’s a gift from God.’
On October 26, the former fitness trainer told TMZ of her critically-acclaimed tell-all: ‘That made me smile, to be honest. I’m freaking proud of her. I hope she takes over the world.’

Sam’s association with the former Mouseketeer gave him a substantial career boost with him easily landing acting gigs in Hulu’s Dollface, Showtime’s Black Monday, CBS’ NCIS, and Max hit Hacks.
It’s been a full year since Asghari wrapped his mystery role on the Atlanta set of Paul Feig’s action-comedy Grand Death Lotto for Amazon MGM Studios starring Awkwafina, John Cena, Simu Liu, and Seann William Scott.
‘It’s an honor and an absolute pleasure to be part of this kick-a** cast,’ the 6ft2in stud – who became an American citizen in 2012 – gushed at the time.
‘Directed by the Uber-talented @paulfeig. A big shoutout to my amazing team for always working so hard for me!’
Britney famously annulled her first marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander after 55 hours, and her second marriage to former back-up dancer Kevin Federline ended in 2007 after only two years.
TMZ reported last September that Spears will pay the 46-year-old Playing with Fire rapper $20K/month in child support for their 17-year-old son Jayden James until June 2025, since their eldest son Sean Preston is already 18.
And last Wednesday, DailyMail.com reported that the MTV Video Vanguard Award winner had just quietly settled her years-long legal battle with estranged father Jamie Spears, and she avoided a trial but was saddled with his $2M legal bills.
Britney had previously claimed the 71-year-old former construction business owner took $6M from her while keeping her working in Las Vegas and depriving her of civil liberties during the 13-year conservatorship, which finally ended in 2021.
