Britney Spears and Sam Asghari have an 'ironclad' prenup to protect her estimated $60 million fortune. Here's what we know as they head for divorce.
- Britney Spears' husband, Sam Asghari, has filed for divorce, according to multiple reports.
- In 2021, Asghari joked about having an "ironclad" prenup with the singer.
The model and actor Sam Asghari has filed for a divorce after being married to Britney Spears for just over a year, TMZ reported Wednesday.
The pair, who got married in June 2022 after dating for six years, have yet to comment, but multiple reports have said they are separated.
Representatives for Spears and Asghari didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
Fans are speculating whether Spears has a prenuptial agreement in place with Asghari. Here's what you need to know.
Does Britney Spears have a prenup?
TMZ reported Wednesday that Asghari might contest the couple's prenup. He's also requesting spousal support and attorneys' fees in a divorce filing, the outlet said.
Details of the prenuptial agreement emerged in June 2022, shortly after the couple got married.
TMZ reported at the time that the couple had signed an "ironclad" agreement, while People reported the agreement would ensure all of Spears' earnings from before the marriage would be safe in the event of a divorce.
In September 2021, after the couple got engaged, Asghari joked about a prenup on Instagram.
"Thank you everyone who is concerned about The prenup! Of course we're getting iron clad prenup to protect my jeep and shoe collection incase she dumps me one day," he wrote.
At the time of the engagement, fans — including actor Octavia Spencer — expressed concerns about Spears' wealth, but her attorney Mathew Rosengart had been asked to draft a prenup, TMZ reported.
Rosengart is the same lawyer who helped Spears end her conservatorship in November 2021.
How much is Britney Spears worth?
In 2021, Forbes estimated that Spears' net worth was about $60 million.
While sizable, Forbes said that the figure was lower than the fortunes of other well-known pop stars, such as Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift.
Spears' last studio album, "Glory," was released in 2016, and she hasn't toured since 2018.
