Britney Spears took to Instagram earlier this week to share a reel of her kissing her husband, model Sam Asghari. The video was posted amid rumors circulating this week that the two have a “troubled” marriage. In the caption, the singer called herself, “blessed to be with such an incredible husband who inspires [her] everyday.” TMZ claimed earlier this month that various “reliable insiders” told them that the two frequently engage in heated yelling matches. Sources even allege that physical altercations have occurred between the couple. They also claim that Asghari has been spending less time with Britney at their Southern California home.
Asghari recently shared that he was “disgusted” by TMZ‘s TV special on Spears that aired on May 15. “All of a sudden — after 15 years when she’s free after all those gaslighting,” he said. Adding, “All those things that went down — now you’re going to put her under a microscope and tell her story?”

Spears Squashes Rumors
In January, concerns for Spears’ mental state were raised after footage of the singer acting “manic” while having dinner at Joey in Woodland Hills began to circulate. Eyewitnesses claimed that Spears was “talking gibberish,” which resulted in Asghari “storming out” of the restaurant. An employee of the restaurant later said, “it was the diner who taunted her by taking a video without consent.” Spears responded to the concerns on social media, saying, “I know the news is all hyped about me being a little drunk at a restaurant. It’s like they’ll be WATCHING MY EVERY MOVE.” She continued, “I’m so flattered they talk about me like a maniac THEN have the balls to talk about all the negative things that happened in my past!!!”
Concerns for the icon’s mental state were raised again this month, when sources told TMZ that the artist has a “fascination with knives.” The sources say they believe Spears’ fascination stems from her feeling as though she needs a “means of protection,” citing her “constant fear of being institutionalized.” The reports circulated surrounding the release of the trailer for TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom. The trailer also featured allegations that Spears “got physical with Sam.”
