According to TMZ, the "Circus" singer insisted on Sunday (August 24) that her marriage to Asghari was a sham over a year after their divorce. The exes married in 2022 after roughly five years of dating. "It's weird me and Sam were married but it almost felt like a fake distraction to help me deal with it..." Spears reportedly wrote.

Sam Asghari denied Britney Spears’ claim that their short-lived marriage was a “fake distraction” from her family drama. “Our marriage was very real to me,” the actor told People (via his rep) in an article published Monday.

Britney Spears, who was married to actor Sam Asghari for a year, reportedly opened up about the "weird" period of her life in a new social media post.
