New details about the state of Britney Spears and Sam Asghari’s relationship prior to the announcement of their divorce have been revealed.
The 41-year-old Toxic singer’s marriage to the personal trainer-turned-actor, 29, officially collapsed on August 16 when Asghari filed a petition for their separation, citing “irreconcilable differences”.
Now, insiders have told Page Six he had been “living separately” from Spears “for months” at a time when he was away filming, explaining why he rarely seemed present while she posted a stream of Instagram videos during their time together.

One source told the outlet, “Britney wanted a fairytale and she didn’t get it. She felt that Sam’s love was not unconditional,” before adding, ”Of course she feels let down… anyone would when your partner is not providing for you in the way you feel you need to be provided for. But he was not super-present. You only have to ask, ‘Where was he when Britney was filming all her Instagram videos?’”
