Sam Asghari unfollowed estranged wife Britney Spears Weeks after he filed for divorce from the pop star.
As of Wednesday, August 30, Asghari, 29, was no longer listed as one of Spears’ 42 million Instagram followers, despite having been on the list earlier in the day, while continuing to follow her ex’s account.
Us weekly confirmed earlier this month that Asghari filed for divorce from Spears, 41, on Aug. 16 after 13 months of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. In the filing, Asghari asked for spousal support and asked the Grammy winner to pay his legal fees.

“After six years of love and commitment to each other, my wife and I have decided to end our journey together. We will hold on to the love and respect we have for one another and I always wish her the best,” Asghari wrote via Instagram a day after filing the documents. “St happened. Asking for privacy seems ridiculous [sic] So I ask everyone, including the media, to be kind and considerate.”

In a kind of telepathic way I have received so many messages from friends that have melted my heart and thank you!!!”
Shortly after Spears addressed the breakup, she threw a party for her friends and shared inside footage of the party. In the post, the singer donned a sparkly green sequin dress and shared a clip of her dancing with a group of shirtless men.

Then you have to wait in the car and go to the toilet,” she captioned her post. “I knew [photographers] got a tip because the car i was in has never been used…so what does a bitch like me do!!??! I put on my green dress and show up to my friends!!! I invited my favorite guys over and played all night!!!”
