The Instagram Confession
Britney Spears recently posted a dance video on her verified Instagram account, where she opened up about her separation from Sam Asghari. Using her estranged husband’s birth name, Hesam, she wrote, “As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together.” Spears went on to say that she’s been “playing it strong for much too long,” hinting at the emotional toll the relationship has taken on her.
Six Years and a Conservatorship
The couple first met in 2016 on the set of the music video for Spears’ song “Slumber Party.” They got married in June 2022, seven months after Spears was freed from a 13-year-long court-ordered conservatorship. Asghari filed for divorce on August 16, 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and the date of separation is listed as July 28 in the court documents.
Emotional Struggles and Family Ties
In her Instagram post, Spears also addressed her father, who had controlled her life through a conservatorship for over a decade. She wrote, “If I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors.” This adds another layer to her emotional state, as she felt that she needed her family the most during those times.

Spears has always been a public figure, but her Instagram post reveals a side of her that she’s often had to hide. She expressed her desire to show her “emotions and tears” but felt that she’s “always had to hide [her] weaknesses.” This confession gives us a glimpse into the emotional struggles she’s been facing, far from the perfect life her social media portrays.
