If U seek Britney Spears‘ reaction to her divorce, here it is.
One day after her estranged husband Sam Asghari—born Hesam Asghari—confirmed their breakup, the “Toxic” singer addressed the situation with her own message.
“As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together,” she wrote on Instagram Aug. 18. “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 !!! But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly !!!”
The 41-year-old went on to share how she had been “playing it strong for way too long” in private and noted that what she posts on social media “may seem perfect but it’s far from reality.”
“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 !!!” she continued. “You’re supposed to be loved unconditionally … not under conditions !!!! So I will be as strong as I can and do my best !!! And I’m actually doing pretty damn good !!! Anyways have a good day and don’t forget to smile !!!”
