Sam Asghari posed alongside his wife Britney Spears in a rare snap posted on his Instagram – as fans speculate it 'wasn't them' in the picture.
Chart-topping songstress Britney, 41, is known for her questionable social media activity, but model husband Sam, 28, maintains a lower profile.
Despite boasting more than 3million followers, Sam rarely shares updates with his followers – but seemingly made an exception for the Christmas holidays.
"Merry Britmas to you all from Samta & Britney," he posted yesterday, alongside a sweet snap of the pair sat on top of a hill with a scenic view.
His update began: "A little hike & a little meditation on Christmas Day goes a long way my wife is really becoming a meditation guru and I love it."
Fans had only recently claimed that Britney was no longer in control of her Instagram page – after she switched off the ability to comment on her posts.
But now, in a new conspiracy theory, fans claim that it's not actually Sam or Britney in his latest picture – saying they look 'nothing alike'.
One fan theorised: "The first photo is definitely not Britney! The girl is clearly wearing a wig."
Meanwhile another echoed: "Not even gonna lie that doesn’t even look like Sam when you zoom in! Like look at his chin, that’s not him!!"
Most were quick to snap back at the conspiracy theories, as fans urged others not to criticise the couple.
One follower penned: "She posts stuff, people criticise, she doesn’t post stuff people criticise, Sam posts stuff, people criticise!! Can people stop being so judgemental, the woman is living her life how she wants and needs to! Be happy for them."
Another wrote: "Britney is just fine y’all . Y’all started this conspiracy theories."
A third said: "There is your proof you psychotic Britney fans. As a huge fan since Baby One More Time ... I can say I am ashamed of your behaviour since they got married. Grow up and enough with the conspiracy theories.."
The Mirror has contacted Britney's representatives for a comment.
Only recently fans began to wonder if the chart-topping singer was in control of her social media accounts, suggesting someone was posting on her behalf.
One fan tweeted: "Is anyone else worried about Britney Spears? Her instagram comments are off now because people kept commenting that they don’t think she’s safe and that it’s really her posting. And her posts have been so bizarre. I hope she’s okay though."
"Not gonna lie Britney looks like a hostage in her recent Instagram posts and that’s super scary to me," another added.
A third wrote: "I think we’ve officially lost Britney. That’s definitely not her posting on Instagram anymore, hope she’s okay tho."
