In a candid Instagram post on August 25, 2025, Britney Spears opened up about her past marriage to Sam Asghari, describing it as a “fake distraction” during one of the most challenging periods of her life. The pop icon shared her feelings of being “cut off” from her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, for three years, revealing the emotional toll it took on her.
A Time of Emotional Turmoil
Spears reflected on the hardship of being separated from her children, stating, “We’re just people so fragile and human the hardest years of my life were my two sons gone for those 3 years.” She explained that during this time, she resorted to denial and tears as coping mechanisms. Her marriage to Asghari, which began in June 2022 and ended in divorce in August 2023, served as a temporary escape from her pain.
Embracing Healing and Self-Awareness
In her post, Spears expressed a sense of healing, noting that she was “hungry again like a child or baby,” a feeling she hadn’t experienced in years. She described this newfound appetite as a sign of reclaiming control over her body and life. Spears also acknowledged the trauma and abuse she endured, stating, “I believe although I loved my home there is waaay too much abuse and trauma in there.”
A Glimpse into Personal Growth
The Instagram post, accompanied by a photo of Spears’ naked back, highlighted her journey toward self-love and confidence. She concluded with a lighthearted note, expressing her joy in indulging in simple pleasures like cookies and cream ice cream. This candid sharing has resonated with fans, who have shown overwhelming support for her openness and vulnerability
