Britney Spears was declared legally single, seven months after finalizing her divorce from estranged husband Sam Asghari.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZThe pop star officially became a single woman before the law on Monday, coinciding with her 43rd birthday.
Because the duo had a prenup before walking down the aisle in June 2022, the outlet reported that Asghari, 30, left their 14-month marriage with “virtually nothing.”
During their divorce proceedings, she paid his rent a few months after he moved out.
He has since moved on with Brooke Irvine, while Spears had a short-lived affair with her former housekeeper Paul Richard Soliz.
In August 2023, Asghari filed for divorce from Britney, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

A source told DailyMail.com at the time: ‘The case was resolved, to Britney’s credit and at her request, to free her from the justice system. She wanted to avoid the circus and spectacle of a trial.’
Shortly after Sam filed, Britney broke her silence on their divorce, admitting she was “a little shocked.”
“I honestly couldn’t handle the pain anymore!!!” the singer revealed in the caption of a dance clip on Instagram. ‘In a kind of telepathic way I have received so many messages from friends that melt my heart and I thank you!!!’
“I’ve been playing strong for far too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that!!!”
Despite the divorce, Spears added that she was “actually doing pretty well!!!” Anyway, have a great day and don’t forget to smile!!!’
Sam had also discussed the divorce, saying, “After six years of love and commitment to each other, my wife and I have decided to end our journey together.”
“We will hold on to the love and respect we have for each other and I always wish her the best,” he said, adding, “S**t happens.”
Two months after he filed, Britney’s memoir, The Woman In Me, was released in October. She mentioned Asghari in the book, calling him a “gift from God.”
In response, the actor said, “That made me smile to be honest, I’m extremely proud of her and I hope she takes over the world.”

Last year Asghari said People that he would never talk “badly” about Spears after their divorce.
‘It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on. I’ve never understood it when people break up [and] they talk bad about each other.’
He added, “That’s something I’m never going to do because I’ve had nothing but a great experience and a great life.”

Ultimately, the two sides agreed that the cutoff would be in November, which would align with when the younger child would graduate from high school.
The two exes had agreed at the time of their divorce in 2007 that she would pay him $20,000 a month, but that doubled to $40,000 in 2018 since Kevin had the kids 100 percent of the time, despite their previous joint custody agreement.
After Sean Preston, now 19, turned 18 last year, the two agreed to lower payments to $20,000 a month.
