28-year-old actor Sam Asghari is said to be threatening to publicize sensitive information about his divorce if Britney does not change some financial terms in the prenuptial contract.
“Asghari is trying to negotiate money outside of his and Britney’s prenuptial contract. That’s what Sam is focusing on,” a source told Page Six .
The person said the Iranian-born actor wanted a larger payment than what was agreed with Britney in exchange for silence. “He threatened to reveal extremely embarrassing information about Britney unless he was paid,” the source said.
However, another source close to Britney told Dailymail : “The allegations are completely absurd. Her lawyer, a former federal prosecutor, would never let anyone blackmail anyone. Britney Spears”.

Britney and Sam Asghari each signed a prenuptial contract in 2021 after getting engaged. This contract was drafted by Britney’s personal lawyer and is said to be very strict to protect the singer’s $60 million assets. At that time, Sam – who has assets of about one million USD – publicly supported Britney in drafting a contract. He wrote on Instagram in September 2021: “Thank you for your interest in the prenuptial contract. Of course we are drafting a very strict one to protect my Jeep and shoe collection, in the classroom.” Maybe one day she will leave me.”
On August 16, Sam Asghari filed for divorce from Britney in court. In the application, Sam wrote that the marriage broke down due to “irreconcilable differences” and recorded the date of separation as July 28. According to TMZ , the actor wants Britney to pay post-divorce benefits and attorneys’ fees, and wants to renegotiate some of the property provisions in the prenuptial agreement.
Britney Spears’s representative and lawyer have not yet responded. Meanwhile, the singer posted photos of horseback riding on Instagram and wrote about her intention to buy a new horse. When appearing on the street in a Mercedes-Benz, Britney was no longer wearing her wedding ring.

Since getting married in June 2022, Britney and Sam Asghari have been caught up in rumors of romantic problems many times, but they all denied it. Last June, the two still gave each other sweet words on Instagram when celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary. They also travel to a tropical island, warming up their love.
According to sources revealed on Dailymail and TMZ , Sam Asghari recently suspected Britney of having an affair and questioned her, leading to a heated argument between the two. After that, Sam is said to have moved out of Britney’s mansion and lived separately. Another source confirmed on ET that Britney assured that she had never cheated on her husband and said they broke up because they had many disagreements in life and no longer had a common language.
