 Britney Spears shocked fans overnight when she announced her engagement to long-term boyfriend Sam Asghari – real name Hesam – but a year later and they are getting a divorce. Just days after her dad Jamie Spears filed a petition to end her conservatorship – which she had been under since 2008 – the 41-year-old Toxic singer announced they were engaged in a video shared on her Instagram page. After celebrating their first wedding anniversary in June, the pair have split with Sam, 29, allegedly claiming Britney cheated with a member of their household staff. After their six-year relationship, court documents filed on Wednesday cited 'irreconcilable differences' for the divorce, and added they had separated three weeks ago. The pair are now allegedly only talking through lawyers, according to TMZ's sources. Breaking her silence on the split, Britney said although it was a 'shock' she could 'no longer take the pain.'
