Sam Asghari is speaking out one day after filing for divorce from Britney Spears.
“After 6 years if love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together,” Asghari, 29, wrote via an Instagram Story statement on Thursday, August 17. “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always.”
Asghari — who wed Spears, 41, in June 2022 — noted in his statement, “S—t happens,” before concluding with a message to the public. “Asking for privacy seems rediculous [sic] so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful,” he wrote.
The trainer filed for divorce from Spears on Wednesday, August 16, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split, per documents obtained by Us Weekly. The legal paperwork also noted that Asghari is asking the pop star — whom he began dating in 2016 after meeting on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video — to pay spousal support and his attorney fees.
