Pop singer Britney Spears got candid in an Instagram post about how her marriage to third husband Sam Asghari was a “fake distraction” after having no contact with her two sons. “We’re just people so fragile and human the hardest years of my life were my two sons gone for those 3 years,” Spears said in the post, captioned alongside a photo of her bare back. “Its weird me and Sam were married but it almost felt like a fake distraction to help me deal with it.” Spears, 43, met Asghari, 31, back in 2016 on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video, sparking dating rumors before making the relationship official in 2017. They tied the knot in 2022, but divorced in 2024. Spears also went on a tangent about her healing journey, stating “well I know im healing [because] im hungry again like a child or baby,” she said. The singer married her first husband, Jason Allen Alexander in 2004, but divorced the same year. Her marriage to her second husband, Kevin Federline, from 2004 to 2007 ended in a public custody battle over their two sons. Last year, Spears reunited with her 18-year-old son Jayden after years of estrangement, according to an insider source.
