Britney Spears And Sam Asghari May Have Hit A Rough Patch

Spears recently made headlines after she allegedly had a meltdown while having dinner at a restaurant with Asghari Athe beginning of January. This prompted the 28-year-old to storm out. Even though Asghari later denied the reports of his wife creating a scene at the restaurant, the incident still was disturbing for the couple as diners breached their privacy by taking pictures and videos.

The newlyweds, accompanied by their bodyguard, were recently spotted at the restaurant Joey in Woodland Hills, California. The “Gimme More” singer had a meltdown and went manic, shrieking and speaking incoherently. Other people at the restaurant pulled out cameras and started recording the singer. The pop singer could be seen holding the menu to shield her face from the camera. This upset Asghari, who stormed out of the place leaving his wife before, just minutes later, Spears walked out of the restaurant all by herself. Her bodyguard then picked up the bill after the couple left the venue. Afterward, fans of the singer sent a welfare check to her house after they believed she was in danger after she deleted her Instagram account.

Now, an insider told Closer Magazine that the couple is “butting heads.” This is allegedly because Asghari was not able to enjoy any privacy during the first year of their marriage because of Spear’s celebrity. Spears and Asghari are also now planning to relocate as he “understandably doesn’t want to be holed-up at their mansion 24-7, but it feels like most times they venture out, there are problems.” Yikes!

“It’s creating some resentment on his part, which is causing rows and putting a strain on their marriage,” the insider added. “The transition of him being her ‘protector’ during the trial to now adjusting to their new way of life, has been challenging and Sam is starting to [realize] the huge responsibility of being married to one of the most famous women on Earth.”

“Sam’s friends have encouraged him to have some much-needed space, but he says Brit doesn’t like to be away from him, which causes more arguments. Sam’s continuing to encourage Brit to do her therapy and they’re looking at more remote places in California—such as Montecito—they can move to for more privacy,” the source continued. “Right now, Sam and Brit are going through a rough patch, but ultimately they’re both trying their best to work through these problems and ensure that they don’t let anything destroy them.”

They have hinted at trouble in their marriage for quite some time. Spears in November of 2022 claimed that she wasn’t completely present during her wedding with the Iranian actor. Asghari is also not a fan of his wife’s topless pictures on social media. The couple has yet to address the recent incident. We hope that the newlyweds are able to resolve their issues!
