Britney Spears' husband says their marriage is over

Britney Spears' husband Sam Asghari has said the pair have decided to end their "journey together" after 14 months of marriage. A divorce petition filed on Wednesday and seen by BBC News cited "irreconcilable differences" between Mr Asghari, 29, and Ms Spears, 41. The couple got engaged in September 2021 and were married in a small but star-studded ceremony in June 2022. Rumours of their marital struggles were reported in US tabloids this year.
