The pair announced their engagement via
Instagram in September 2021 but had not disclosed a wedding
date.
Two months later, the "Stronger" singer was released from a
legal conservatorship that had controlled her personal life and
finances for 13 years. During court proceedings, she said she
longed to get married and start a new family without any
restrictions.
A source close to the couple had told Reuters earlier on
Thursday the singer and her fiance were set to marry. Various
media outlets reported they had wed. Representatives for Spears
and Asghari could not immediately be reached for comment.
Hollywood industry publication Variety also reported that the
wedding day was interrupted when Spears' first husband, Jason
Alexander, trespassed on her property.
Quoting the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, it said deputies
were sent to Spears' home following a trespassing complaint and
had arrested Alexander under an out-of-county warrant. The
Sheriff's Office could not immediately be reached for comment.
Spears married Alexander, her childhood friend, in a surprise
ceremony in Las Vegas in 2004 but the marriage was annulled
shortly after. Nine months later, she married dancer Kevin
Federline, with whom she had two children. That marriage ended
in divorce in 2007.
Spears, 40, announced in April that she and Asghari were
expecting a baby. A month later, the singer said she had
suffered a miscarriage.
Iranian-born Asghari, 28, is a personal trainer and actor who
has appeared on the Showtime series "Black Monday".
