Multiple sources told PEOPLE magazine that Britney Spears and Sam Asghari’s marriage has been through a lot of hard times over the past few months.

Sources said that the relationship between the two people, who started dating at the end of 2016 and got married in June of the same year, has been getting more and more tense.

A person with knowledge of the situation said, “It’s been very toxic between them for a long time.”

Concerns have been raised about the constant stress in their marriage. Another source said, “Their marriage has been on the rocks for months.”

An insider who knew about the situation said that Britney Spears relied on Sam Asghari a lot for mental support.

“She leans on him for everything. He works and has his own life too, but is around as much as he can,” the person said. H

Asghari gave an exclusive interview to PEOPLE magazine about how he felt about their relationship after an unofficial Hulu documentary about Spears’ life came out and her guardianship was taken away in November 2021.

The source also said that the relationship has been full of drama for a long time, which has made them feel sad.

On August 17, news came out that they were no longer together. Sources said that after 14 months of marriage, they had decided to go their separate ways. TMZ was the first to report on it.

When both Spears and Asghari were seen without their wedding rings earlier this year, people wondered if they were having problems in their marriage.

But Asghari’s manager shot down the rumors and said that he didn’t have a ring because he was busy making a movie.
