Singer Britney Spears admitted she was very drunk and bored when she decided to go to church to marry childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004.
In her upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me , Britney revealed that she and Jason Alexander got married one drunken night in Las Vegas. She said: “I don’t even remember that night at all, but from what I piece together, I remember him and I walking around in the hotel room, staying up all night watching movies and then came up with the idea of going to chapel A. Little White Chapel at 3:30 am”.

The Grammy Award-winning star also confirmed that she and Jason got married because they were bored, not because they loved each other deeply. “People ask me if I love him. I have to make it clear that he and I don’t love each other,” she explained. “Honestly, I was very drunk. And maybe, more generally speaking at that time in my life: I was very bored.”
Britney said she didn’t put much importance on getting married in Las Vegas and thought it was just fun. According to the singer, her family was very shocked and disappointed when they learned that she was marrying Jason Alexander. The anger of her relatives at this situation made Britney realize how much they wanted to control her. “After that, my family came and acted like I had started World War III. I cried the rest of the time in Las Vegas,” the 41-year-old singer recalled.
Just two days later, the marriage was annulled before she and Jason Alexander went their separate ways.
In an interview last year with ABC News , Jason Alexander talked about his quick marriage with Britney in early 2004. Jason said Britney took him to Vegas on a private plane and they went to church together in a state of shock. Not very alert. While Britney affirmed that she had no serious feelings, Alexander revealed that he acted purely out of love: “I followed my feelings. I love her. I have a feeling she feels the same way.”
According to Jason Alexander, Britney’s family tricked him into signing the annulment papers because they promised that the two could get back together. But later that year, Britney married dancer Kevin Federline.

Jason has been following Britney for many years and has protested to support the movement to release Britney when she was still under guardianship. However, on Britney’s wedding day with actor Sam Asghari in June 2022, Jason Alexander came to cause trouble at the singer’s villa, demanding to break up the wedding. He was arrested, then appeared in court and was banned from coming within 100 meters of the female singer.
