Britney Spears and Sam Asghari have reportedly called it quits. Now, the spotlight is being put on the former couple’s prenuptial agreement.
On Wednesday (Aug. 16), multiple publications reported that Asghari had filed for divorce from Spears after just one year of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The two met while filming Spears’ music video for “Slumber Party” in 2016. They got engaged in September 2021 and were married on June 9, 2022.
Page Six reports Asghari is seeking to renegotiate his prenuptial agreement to have Spears “pay him more than what their prenup provides.”
A source alleged Asghari even threatened to release personal details and “extraordinarily embarrassing information” about Spears “unless he gets paid.”
However, another source told Page Six that Spears is well “protected” and that “it’ll never happen.”
