Britney Spears wants to reveal why her marriage broke down in her second memoir.
The 41-year-old pop star released her autobiography The Woman in Me — in which she details her life, career and journey out of her conservatorship arrangement — toward the end of October and following the news that she is set to put pen to paper for a second time, an insider has claimed she will tell fans why she and Sam Asghari, 29, broke up in July 2023 after just over a year of marriage.
“Britney’s not looking to go after Sam. She just wants [to talk about] why the relationship broke down,” a source told UsWeekly.
The singer — who was initially married to childhood friend Jason Alexander for a period of 55 hours in early 2004 but went on to have sons Sean, 18, and 17-year-old Jayden with second husband Kevin Federline —met actor Asghari on the set of her 2016 music video “Slumber Party” and the pair dated for just under six years. But when they split over the summer, Spears admitted that she was “shocked” that her marriage had suddenly come to an end.
“As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together … 6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because its honestly nobody’s business,” she wrote on Instagram.
The “Circus” hitmaker revealed just days ago that a second memoir was on the way.
She posted a video on Instagram on Oct. 3 of herself working on the new book on a private jet.
She captioned the clip: “Riding ‘n writing !!! All I’m doing at the moment … volume 2 coming after 1 !!! #TheWomanInMe”
Last year, Spears signed a $15 million book deal with Simon and Schuster, with The Woman in Me hailed as a “brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith and hope” and the tome went on to sell more than one million copies in its first week of release.
The “Lucky” songstress recently explained that the book — which takes its title from a lyric from her 2001 hit “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” — is the result of extensive therapy.
She told fans on Instagram: “OK, guys so my book is coming out very, very soon. I worked my a– off for this book, I had a lot of therapy to get this book done, so you guys better like it. And if you don’t like it, that’s fine too.”
Spears regained control of her fortune and various aspects of her life when a conservatorship governed by her immediate family was terminated in 2021.
