After 14 months of marriage, pop star Sam Asghari and Britney Spears have divorced.

A divorce petition filed late on Wednesday, seen by BBC News, cites “irreconcilable differences” between Asghari, 29, and Spears, 41.

In September 2021, the couple announced their engagement. In June 2022, they tied the knot in a modest but celebrity-studded ceremony.

However, stories about their marital problems have been widely reported in US tabloids this year.

Spears' and Asghari's representatives have not yet provided any comments.

In a Wednesday night post to her 42 million Instagram followers, the musician chose to write that she was "buying a horse soon" rather than addressing the divorce.

In his petition for the dissolution of his marriage, Asghari requests that Spears cover his spousal support payments as well as his legal costs.

The Iranian-American actor, model and fitness trainer met Spears while she was shooting the video for her song, Slumber Party, in 2016.

He played a key role during her conservatorship fight with father Jamie, sporting a Free Britney T-shirt on Instagram before a crucial court hearing.

Their wedding, at the superstar’s home in Thousand Oaks, California last year, was an intimate and lavish affair attended by celebrities including Paris Hilton, Madonna and Drew Barrymore.

The two had recently been seen without their wedding rings in public.

The separation comes as Spears prepares to publish her memoir – The Woman in Me – this October.

It marks the end of her third marriage.
