Britney Spears’s husband, Sam Asghari, whom she married after she was released from the conservatorship that controlled her life for more than a decade, filed for divorce on Wednesday after a little more than a year of marriage, according to Los Angeles court records.
According to the divorce filing, which was submitted in Los Angeles Superior Court, the couple separated on July 28.
Mr. Asghari cited irreconcilable differences as the legal grounds for divorce.
A lawyer for Ms. Spears, Mathew Rosengart, declined to comment.
But the rumors of her latest divorce made headlines around the world even before the court papers were filed, raising questions about how much has changed.
