Isn’t she lovely, this single girl?
Britney Spears turned 43 on Dec. 2, but that wasn’t the only milestone she marked on her special day. In fact, it is also the day she became a legally single woman following her split from ex-husband Sam Asghari last year.
According to legal documents obtained by E! News, though Sam and Britney’s divorce was settled back in May, the date upon which their marital status officially ended was Dec. 2, 2024.
The former couple’s divorce documents marked the split as uncontested, meaning both Britney and Sam (born Hesam Asghari) appeared in the case and “entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support, the original of which is being or has been submitted to the court.”
Sam, 30, filed for divorce from the “Gimme More” singer in Aug. 2023, just over a year after his and Britney’s June 2022 nuptials.
At the time of his filing, in addition to asking the media and the public to proceed kindly, he said of his time with Britney, “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always.”
