Britney Spears’ husband of 55 hours, Jason Alexander, reveals what really happened the day he crashed her wedding to Sam Asghari and was arrested – and their secret pre-wedding phone calls
Britney Spears’ ex-husband Jason Alexander, who eloped with the pop star in Las Vegas in 2004, says he ruined her wedding to Sam Asghari last year to “control her.”
The Toxic hitmaker’s childhood friend, 42, was arrested for battery and aggravated trespass when he broke into her California home in 2022.
On Thursday, he told The Kyle and Jackie O Show that he had a good reason to ruin her wedding.
“She contacted me in 2020 and we started talking on the phone and had a private conversation that no one really knew about,” he told hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.
“So when the conservatorship ended, I had a feeling that because of the way the conversations with me and her went, we would be able to see each other in real life for the first time since Vegas, besides just talking on the phone.

He continued, “So when I found out she was getting married, I literally spoke to her on the phone three days before, on that Monday before the wedding, and she didn’t even mention marriage.”
Jason went on to say that he was “super surprised” by the wedding and decided to show up at the ceremony because he was “actually in California at the time.”
“So I just went there and honestly it wasn’t that hard to get in because me and her had agreed to meet on the walkway behind her house which leads to an easy entrance at the back of the property,” he says. said.

Jason insisted that he was “really just trying to see (Britney) and ask her if (the wedding) was really what she wanted.”
Despite being asked to leave, Jason said he shouted at Britney while streaming the entire incident live on Instagram, but received no response before being stopped by security and later arrested.
Britney and Sam later split with the fitness instructor, 29, in August this year and filed for divorce.
On Thursday morning, just over a year later, he told The Kyle and Jackie O Show that he crashed Britney and Sam’s wedding to make sure she really wanted to go through with it.
In her new memoir, The Woman In Me, Britney claimed her 55-hour marriage to Jason in 2004 was just “harmless fun” they had when they were “drunk” and “bored.”
She wrote: ‘He and I got stupid faces. I can’t remember the night at all, but from what I pieced together, he and I lounged around the hotel room and stayed up late watching movies – Mona Lisa Smile and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – and then had the brilliant idea to go to A small white chapel at half past three in the morning.’
However, since the publication of Britney’s autobiography, Jason has dismissed these claims, insisting that they were very ‘in love’ and had not been drinking at all.
The marriage, which took place on January 3, 2004 at A Little White Wedding Chapel, was annulled three days later on January 5.
