Sam filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the cause of the breakup in the court. Sam has not yet properly determined the assets and liabilities for both parties. Britney's financial assets will not need to be negotiated because they have a prenuptial agreement. According to Page Six, there are claims that Sam has threatened to expose humiliating material about Britney if the prenuptial agreement is not renegotiated.

Paris Hilton, Madonna, Donatella Versace, Drew Barrymore, and Selena Gomez were among the guests. After Spears won a protracted battle to be released from a conservatorship that controlled the majority of her financial and personal affairs, the couple got engaged in September 2021.
