Sam Asghari hits back at Britney Spears split rumours as singer suffers setback

Britney Spears’s husband, Sam Asghari, has hit back at speculation their marriage is on the rocks.

The 29-year-old model and actor has been married to 41-year-old Britney since 9 June last year - but in recent days they have both been spotted out and about without their wedding rings on.

While tongues have been set wagging further due to the fact that Britney is currently holidaying with her longtime friend and manager, Cade Hudson - while Sam has been left behind.

But now Sam has hit out at headlines and speculation that his marriage to Britney could be in trouble - taking to social media to set the record straight.

Sam has been posing on Instagram in ways to make it absolutely clear that his wedding band is being kept firmly on.

He posed in a gym while clutching a bench bar with his ring clearly in view for the camera - and a subsequent image showed him raising just his wedding finger as his ring shone in the daylight.

He has also hit out via his spokesperson - with Brandon Cohen, Sam’s representative from BAC Talent, telling Entertainment Tonight: "Sam is not having marital issues. He simply took off his ring because he is filming a movie."

PageSix have also had confirmation from Sam’s people that his marriage to Britney is still enjoying smooth sailing.

However, a spokesperson for Britney - as well as the pop singer herself - has not spoken out against the speculation.

And beady-eyed fans have noticed that Britney has been dancing and smiling on social media while on her holiday without her wedding ring.

Meanwhile, it seems her trip has not been all smiles as she had some issues with her luggage while jetting to the sun.

Britney revealed on Instagram on Friday night - after sharing a string of dancing videos: “Traveled all the way here to find only one suitcase came … the one with my going out sophisticated dresses and my other FOUR red snake suit cases were gone.

“The hard part was no toiletries … no brush … no toothbrush … no makeup … no deodorant !!! I wasn’t even mad I was shocked … so that’s why I did these videos.

“I put these two dresses on wearing no makeup at all for the first time on Instagram … in these damn mary jane shoes which didn’t match at all.”

She added: “PSSS … I look waaaaay younger without makeup … kinda weird.”
