The outing comes after Spears, 41, broke her silence about her split from Asghari after 14 months of marriage. In an Instagram post on Friday, the pop superstar spoke candidly about her impending divorce. PEOPLE confirmed that the actor filed for dissolution of marriage on Wednesday.
“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.
“But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly !!! In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you !!!,” the singer continued. “I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that !!! I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses !!!”
