Britney Spears is celebrating her 43rd birthday, and the courts in California have presented her with a gift of sorts in honor of the occasion.
Seven months after her divorce from her ex-husband Sam Asghari was completed in Los Angeles on May 2, the pop diva was officially proclaimed legally single on Monday, December 2. According to records acquired by PEOPLE, the divorce was finalized in Los Angeles.
Approximately thirteen months after their star-studded wedding, Spears and Asghari, who was 30 years old at the time, divorced in late July 2023. In August of 2023, he submitted a petition for divorce, stating factors that could not be reconciled.
A source told People in May that the divorce was cordial and that the prenuptial agreement was not disputed. The divorce took place in May. “Britney is continuing to demonstrate her independence and is moving on with her life.”
During the month of October, Spears displayed her newly acquired liberty by posting a video on Instagram in which she was dressed in a wedding attire and proclaimed to her followers that she had “married herself.”
‘The day I tied the knot with myself… Bringing it back because it could seem awkward or silly, but I believe it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever done!!!” the singer who is known for her song “Toxic” captioned her photo.
It was also recently that the Grammy winner spent time with her youngest son, Jayden, who is 18 years old and whom she shares with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. The former couple, who divorced in 2006, are also the parents of Sean Preston, who is now 19 years old.
According to a source who spoke with People a month ago, Spears and Jayden got back together in Los Angeles, where they spent time hanging out at her house.
A source close to the situation said that “spending time together has made her happy.”
Asghari, on the other hand, said to People in November that he has “absolutely” been able to move on with his life after the divorce, and that he has been concentrating on his profession. Both the actor and the fitness trainer are scheduled to make an appearance in the next season three premiere of the Peacock series The Traitors, which will take place the following month.
“The bed is something that you make yourself, and you have to learn how to lay in it, so it’s a part of the lifestyle,” he added. “It’s a part of the lifestyle.” “You simply need to maintain an optimistic attitude. You have to keep your feet on the ground, figure out what the reality is, and truly simply choose to live with that rather than focusing on the views of other people or anything else of the kind.
In March, Asghari, who had previously spoken to PEOPLE about his breakup with Spears, said that he does not have any ill will against his former partner.
“Being able to share life with someone for a long time was a blessing,” he added. “However, as time passes, people grow apart from one another and move on with their lives.” “I have never understood why individuals would leave a specific relationship and then speak negatively about each other. I have always disliked it when people leave a relationship where they have told each other that they love each other and where they sat at the same table and ate meals together. But I have never understood why people would do that. That is something that I will never do because I have had nothing but wonderful experiences and a wonderful life, and that is something that will always be a part of my life, a chapter in my life.
