Britney Spears (left) was reportedly declared legally single in court on Monday following her recent divorce from Sam Asghari.

Britney Spears is officially single nearly a year and a half after her ex-husband Sam Asghari filed for divorce, according to reports.

According to court documents obtained by People Magazine and E! News: Spears was declared legally single on Monday. The verdict falls on the pop icon’s 43rd birthday (December 2nd).

This legal conclusion to the former couple’s separation comes seven months after Spears and Asghari’s divorce was finalized in May. Both parties agreed to an uncontested divorce and waived their right to a trial and appeal of the case, according to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by USA TODAY.

USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Spears for comment.

At the time, Spears’ legal team requested that the singer’s property and assets with Asghari be divided according to their prenuptial agreement, with Spears retaining her earnings before, during and after their marriage. They also requested that the court order spousal support as set forth in their written agreement.

Asghari filed for dissolution of his 14-month-old marriage to Spears in August 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who met while working on Spears’ 2016 music video “Slumber Party,” tied the knot in June 2022.

Spears addressed the breakup in an Instagram video at the time, writing, “Six years is a long time to be with someone so I’m a little shocked but… I’m not here to explain why, because honestly it’s nobody’s business!!”

Spears and Asghari did not have any children together. Spears said she and Asghari lost a baby early in their pregnancy in May 2022.

In an interview with People magazine in March, Asghari said it was “a blessing” to have shared his life with Spears for a “long time,” adding that “people grow apart and move on.”

“I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life, and that will always be a part of my life, a chapter of my life,” Asghari said.

Spears was previously married to Kevin Federline, with whom she has sons Sean and Jayden, from 2004 to 2007, and to childhood friend Jason Alexander, whom she married in Las Vegas, for 55 hours.
