In her statement, she acknowledged the end of her six-year relationship with Asghari, emphasizing that she wasn’t inclined to provide reasons as it was a private matter.

She acknowledged the support she received from friends and shared that her Instagram profile might portray a perfect image, but it’s far from reality.

Spears reassured her fans that she’s coping well and will strive to remain strong.

Asghari also responded to the situation through his Instagram stories, mentioning that he and his now-ex-wife had mutually decided to conclude their six-year journey, expressing love and respect for one another.

Sources indicate that their marriage had faced difficulties, including physical altercations arising from fights and allegations of infidelity.
