Britney Spears was declared legally single, seven months after finalizing her divorce from estranged husband Sam Asghari.
According to legal documents, obtained by TMZ, the pop star officially became a single woman in the eyes of the law on Monday, which coincides with her 43rd birthday.
Since the duo had a prenup prior to walking down the aisle in June 2022, the outlet reported that Asghari, 30, walked away from their 14-month marriage with ‘virtually nothing.’
Amid their divorce proceedings, she did pay his rent for a few months after he moved out.
He has since moved on with Brooke Irvine while Spears had a short-lived fling with her former housekeeper Paul Richard Soliz.
In August, 2023 Asghari filed for divorce from Britney and cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split.

At the time, a source told DailyMail.com, ‘The case was resolved, to Britney’s credit and at her request, to disentangle her from the probate court system. She wanted to avoid the circus and spectacle of a trial.’
Shortly after Sam filed, Britney broke her silence over their divorce and admitted that she had been ‘a little shocked.’
‘I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly!!!’ the singer revealed in the caption of an Instagram dancing clip. ‘In some sort of telepathic way, I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you!!!’
‘I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that!!!’
Despite the separation, Spears added that she was ‘actually doing pretty d**n good!!! Anyways have a good day and don’t forget to smile!!!’
Sam had also addressed the divorce and shared, ‘After six years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together.’
‘We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always,’ he expressed, while also 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 and called him a ‘gift from God.’
In response, the actor said, ‘That made me smile to be honest, I am freaking proud of her and I hope she takes over the world.’

Last year, Asghari told People that he would never ‘talk badly’ about Spears following 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 never understood when people part ways [and] they talk badly about each other.’
He added, ‘That’s something I’m never going to do because I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life.’
Last month, Spears paid ex-husband Kevin Federline her final child support payment.
Insiders told TMZ that the Oops I Did It Again hitmaker has been making bi-monthly payments to her ex on behalf of youngest child Jayden who turned 18 three months ago.

TMZ reports that she paid $10K at the beginning of the month and will pay the last $10K in three days. Britney’s lawyer Laura Wasser – aka disso queen – and his attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan were embroiled in a legal battle earlier this year over how much the Lucky singer would pay.

In the end the two sides agreed that the cutoff would be November which would align with the younger child finishing high school.
The two exes had agreed at the time of their 2007 divorce that she would pay him $20K-a-month but that doubled to $40K in 2018 as Kevin had the kids 100percent of the time despite their prior joint custody agreement.
Then after Sean Preston, now 19, turned 18-years-old last year the two had agreed to cut the payments to $20K-a-month.
Federline and his two sons with Spears now live on the island of Oahu in Hawaii with his third wife Victoria Prince, whom he wed in 2013.
Jayden, Sean Preston and Federline’s four other children – two of whom he fathered with Prince and two with his first wife, Shar Jackson – now live with him in a rented $14,000-a-month, five-bedroom, 6,300 square-foot home that has a listed sale price of $3.7 million and sits a few blocks from the sea in the picturesque, luxury suburban community of Portlock, Oahu.
