Watch: Britney Spears MARRIES Sam Asghari After 5 Years Together

It's Britney, bitch—Mrs. Britney Spears, that is. 

The singer tied the knot with her longtime love Sam Asghari in Los Angeles on June 9, a source tells E! News. Britney wore an off white Versace gown with off-the-shoulder cap sleeves for her fairytale moment, per a second source.

The big day comes nearly nine months after Britney, 40, and Sam, 28, announced their engagement on Instagram, with the Grammy winner giving her more than 41 million followers a look at her four-carat, round-cut diamond ring.

Britney and Sam met on the set of her 2016 music video "Slumber Party" and have been there for each other throughout life's ups and downs. This past year, they've experienced celebratory moments, like the termination of Britney's 13-year conservatorship, and gone through difficult times, such as when Sam announced in May that they'd lost their "miracle baby" early in Britney's pregnancy.

"It's something that happens to a lot of people," he told GQ in an interview published earlier this month. "And one beautiful thing that I heard was when the baby's ready, it'll come. So that was a beautiful thing somebody had said was, it's a common process and the female body is just so amazing, and just the human body in general is so beautiful that it heals itself. And that when the baby's ready it'll be the right time."

Unbreakable Bond

In February 2021, a source close to the pop star offered rare insight into their shared private life. 

"Sam is very good to Britney and she's crazy about him," the insider told E! News. "She loves when they get to travel together and take a romantic vacation... They work out together and both are very into staying fit and taking care of their bodies. They love watching movies together and hanging out at home. But Britney also loves going out to dinner, especially for sushi."

Say I Do

#FreeBritney

Ahead of his girlfriend's bombshell court testimony in June 2021, Sam shared his support for the social media movement calling for an end to her years-long conservatorship. 

Hope For the Future

During the June 23 conservatorship hearing, Britney testified to wanting what she described as the "real deal," marriage and a baby. According to the singer, the conservatorship prevents her from creating the future she wants. 

She told the judge, "I deserve to have the same rights as anybody does by having a child, a family, any of those things."

Stronger Than Yesterday

As Britney continued to make positive strides in her conservatorship battle, a source close to Sam indicated a proposal was just over the horizon.

"Engagement has always been in the cards for Sam and Britney, without question," the insider shared with E! News in September. "It's the direction their relationship has been heading for nearly two years now. It's always a discussion and it's not a question of if, it's when."

The source explained further, "Things are evidently becoming better for Britney with her conservatorship and she's never felt this liberated in all aspects of her life. The closer she gets to freedom, the closer she is to seeing all of her dreams become an actual reality. Marrying Sam is high on that list and loving him the way she wants, how she wants, on her own terms."

She Said Yes!

On Sept. 12, 2021, the music superstar announced her engagement. In a video shared to Instagram, Brit showed off her bling as Sam asked, "Look at that! Do you like it?" "Yes!" she told him.
