Just hours after news broke that Britney Spears' marriage to Sam Asghari was coming to an end, the singer took to Instagram flashing a huge rock on her ring finger.
Seemingly unphased by the reports from TMZ that her husband had filed for divorce, Britney took to Instagram with a photo and an indecisive message.
In the image, Britney was bikini-clad and riding a horse. Her left hand sported a huge, blue ring in place of the four-carat, diamond engagement ring given to her by Sam.
Her message read: "Buying a horse soon!!! So many options it’s kinda hard !!! A horse called Sophie and another called Roar??? I can’t make up my mind!!! Should I join the camaraderie and put a pink cowboy hat on??? Either way I think I found my sweet spot with Roar."
There was no mention of her relationship news and she turned the comments off leaving fans unable to react, other than to like the post.

It also turns out that Sam removed his ring last month. As reported by TMZ Sam filed for divorce citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ and listed July 28 as the official date of separation.

"Moments like these remind us of life's preciousness," he wrote, as he indicated his intention to temporarily retreat from social media to focus on family.

Sam had lovingly called Britney "the woman of my dreams" and their relationship seemed to be the stuff of fairy tales.
Fast forward to August 2023 and TMZ has alleged that Sam confronted the singer earlier this month over rumors she cheated and the pair had a huge fight which led to Sam moving out of their Los Angeles home.

It is believed that the agreement stipulated that if the pair were to ever divorce, Sam would receive no money Britney made before their wedding. However it is unclear what percentage the agreement may legally allow him to claim for money made by Britney since their wedding.
