After what is being billed by TMZ as a “nuclear argument that involves allegations of cheating,” Britney Spears and husband Sam Asghari have separated, the outlet reports.
“About a week ago, Sam confronted Britney over rumors she stepped out on him,” TMZ reports. “We do not know if the rumor has any basis in fact, but we’re told Sam believed it and the two had a huge fight.”
Sources told TMZ that Asghari has moved out of their shared home and is now living in a place of his own. “It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce,” a source told the outlet.
Apparently, trouble has been brewing for months, and Asghari “wasn’t sleeping at the house much, and we’re told Britney has gotten physical with him in blowout fights that include frequent screaming matches,” TMZ writes.
