BRITNEY Spears has officially settled her divorce with Sam Asghari.

Sam, 30, filed for divorce from the Toxic singer, 42, in August 2023, citing irreconcilable differences.

Sam signed a prenup with Britney which means he was left with nothing after the divorce.

But she has been paying Sam's rent after her left their shared Los Angeles home, according to TMZ.

The outlet also reported that Sam asked Britney to write him a six-figure check following the divorce.

Sam previously accused Britney of cheating on him with a member of staff, which was reportedly captured on video.

He also claimed that she got physical with him during their time together, reportedly hitting him in bed.

Britney's memoir, The Woman In Me, was released on October 24, but did not mention Sam at all.

At the time of the split, rumors emerged that Sam might contest the prenup, but this did not seem to happen.

In August, he requested spousal support and legal fees and it is believed he is hoping Britney will give him a payout for the whole thing to go away quietly.

There was a possibility the split could turn nuclear if she refused his demands, with those close to him claiming he could spill “extraordinarily embarrassing” secrets about her.

The famous hitmaker hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser.

“Britney has been pushed around by men her whole life," a source close to Britney revealed.

"She is not going to let it happen again.

“There has been one heartbreak after another in her life but she won’t be taken advantage of this time."

"She will fight for what’s rightfully hers if it comes to that,” the insider concluded.

TURBULENT TIMES

Another insider close to the split couple remarked that “Britney and Sam’s relationship has been a rollercoaster from the start."

“Even on their wedding night - obviously they were meant to spend the night together - but instead Britney went to the Four Seasons in Westlake Village and spent the night with her gay best friend and manager Cade Hudson rather than with Sam."

Westlake Village is the exclusive Los Angeles, California, suburb where Britney lives.

“That immediately started off the marriage on a problematic note," the source added.

"The relationship turned into a ticking time bomb.

“Britney has been telling people that she wanted another baby and to start a family with Sam."

The pop star shares two boys Jayden, 16, and Sean, 17, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, 45.

Kevin and Britney split in 2007.

RELATIONSHIP HISTORY

Britney and Sam were first linked in 2016 when he appeared in Britney's Slumber Party music video.

The couple got engaged in September 2021 and then married the following June.

The wedding was private, with around 60 star-studded guests including Madonna, Drew Barrymore, and Paris Hilton.

Britney frequently posted photos showing PDA with her beau on her social media, and Sam even abandoned his Las Vegas show in 2019 when Britney's dad fell ill with a ruptured colon and Britney was checked into a mental health facility.

The star's marriage was also tumultuous, with Britney being involved in several legal trials with her family.

From 2008 to 2021, Britney was under a strict conservatorship with her father because of her public meltdowns in the late 2000s.

When her conservatorship was terminated in 2021, Britney and her sister Jamie still had some disagreements.

Jamie was looking for compensation of more than $2 million for hiring legal help during the conservatorship as well as his current lawyer bills.

In the end, Britney had to pay her father more than $2 million, according to TMZ, and reported that she was "furious."
