Britney Spears shows what estranged husband Sam Asghari is missing as she dons a hot pink bikini while dancing with a stripper pole… amid ‘ugly’ divorce battle
Britney Spears showed off what her estranged husband, Sam Asghari, is missing as she wears a hot pink bikini and dances with a stripper pole in a new Instagram clip shared Saturday.
The 41-year-old Baby One More Time hitmaker – who recently teased she is “putting the finishing touches on” her memoir – could be seen filming herself in the reflection of mirrors set up in front of her.
The singer chose to wear a vibrant pink swimsuit and a sparkling gold body chain in the latest video.
She donned a pair of black closed-toed heels to complete her look and let her blonde locks flow down her shoulders in light waves.
Britney – who recently returned to Instagram – showed off some dance moves as she used the pink pole right behind her as Beyoncé’s song Don’t Hurt Yourself played in the background.

Instead of writing a caption for her fans and followers, the star simply added three emojis depicting the nails being painted.
The film comes amid her bitter divorce battle with her ex, Sam Asghari – who filed for divorce from Spears last month in August after just over a year of marriage.
He cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce and is asking for spousal support from the artist, as well as coverage for his legal costs.
Speaking about the divorce for the first time since the news came to light, Britney admitted she was “a little shocked.”
“I honestly couldn’t handle the pain anymore!!!” she explained in a caption on an Instagram video of her dancing. ‘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!!!”
The star later said she would focus on staying ‘strong’ and concluded: ‘And I’m actually doing quite well!!! Anyway, have a great day and don’t forget to smile!!!’
Asghari has previously claimed that Britney got “physical” with him several times during their relationship. The pair first met on the set of her 2016 music video, Slumber Party.

She has also claimed that the actor was “secretly working” with her estranged father Jamie Spears to keep her under her 13-year conservatorship.
A source previously told DailyMail.com: ‘Britney has reason to believe Sam was secretly working with her father Jamie early in their relationship.’
“Sam would provide information to Jamie that would help keep her locked up in the conservatorship. In return, Sam got access to her and her money. Britney now feels like Sam was deceitful the whole time.”
That’s what individual insiders said We weekly that the star ‘has no intention of reconciling with her father’, adding: ‘Jamie is the last person she would ever turn to. He will most likely never be a part of her life again.”
Another insider told the outlet that “Britney feels manipulated and betrayed by Sam” amid their shock split.
The former couple are reportedly not on speaking terms and are only communicating through their own legal teams.
Although Sam has asked Britney to pay his legal fees and court costs, she was recently released from paying child support to ex-husband Kevin Federline for their son Sean, who turned 18 earlier this month.
Their other son, Jayden, is currently 17 years old, and once he turns 18, Britney will no longer have to send monthly child support to Federline either.

Although the Toxic singer doesn’t mind helping her kids, a source told DailyMail.com that she doesn’t like “paying Kevin the crazy amount of money he’s getting.”
‘Britney enjoys helping Sean and Jayden. There is nothing she wouldn’t do for her sons. But this would go directly to them when they turn 18, rather than to Kevin.”
In addition to moving on since her recent breakup, Britney has also been counting down the days until the anticipated release of her memoir, The Woman In Me, which hits shelves next month on October 24.
On Friday, she also took to Instagram to show off a video of the book being printed and typed out: “Putting the finishing touches on my book… eeeek.” #TheWomanInMe @simonandschuster @gallerybooks.”
Due to an “iron marriage contract,” Sam will not benefit from her upcoming memoir. He is mentioned in the book, but “not much,” a source recently told DailyMail.com.

With the release date fast approaching, Britney has no plans to publicly promote the book and has reportedly turned down an interview with 60 Minutes.
However, she did agree to sit down with Oprah Winfrey, per Page sixbut a fixed date is unknown.
Sources told the newspaper: ‘She is a free woman. She will decide. It’s her choice. She has had offers and doesn’t want to do anything.’
Insiders added that the singer “doesn’t feel like giving interviews” due to her “mental health, sexuality, parenting and body image being constantly scrutinized” in the media. “They haven’t been fair to Britney,” another source said.
