Britney Spears and Sam Asghari’s marriage has been thrown into turmoil as a result of the popstar’s resentment over her husband’s commitment to his burgeoning acting career – with an insider revealing that the chart-topper feels he is ‘putting his work before her’.

According to a source close to the couple, Britney, 41, is growing increasingly annoyed at 29-year-old Sam’s busy work schedule, particularly because it means that she is frequently left at home alone while he travels for jobs. 

‘Sam has been out of town a lot because he has been on location filming outside of L.A. and it does cause issues because Britney does not like being alone,’ the insider told DailyMail.com. ‘She also thinks that Sam has been putting his movie career first. 

‘She is supportive of his career but a part of her feels like she is the reason that his career took off in the first place.’ 

However, while the insider conceded that the couple is going through some ‘major issues’, they were quick to deny recent allegations that Britney has gotten ‘physical’ during some of their fights – insisting that the pair is doing everything they can to overcome this hurdle in their relationship, even undergoing ‘invaluable’ marriage counseling. 

Britney Spears resents that her husband Sam Asghari is ‘putting his career before their marriage’ an insider has claimed – but they are working through their ‘issues’ with counseling 

The source said that Britney, 41, hates that Sam, 29 (seen together in 2017), keeps traveling for work and leaves her at home alone

Sam has been filming a variety of on-screen projects in recent months – including  a film with seasoned actor Mel Gibson (seen) 

‘Britney has never gotten physically violent with Sam. She is not a violent person,’ the source stated. ‘They are not headed for a divorce and their marriage is not in deep trouble.

‘They are doing marriage counseling together and find this to be invaluable to working out anything. Sam knows what she went through more than anyone and isn’t going to jump ship. He knows how lucky he is and how good he has it.’

DailyMail.com has contacted spokespersons for Britney and Sam for comment.  

Allegations about so-called ‘physical’ fights between the pair were aired in a sensational TMZ documentary last night, in which it was claimed that security has been forced to step in and break up several ‘screaming matches’ between the two. 

Britney and Sam started dating in 2016. at the time, she was locked in a 13-year conservatorship by her dad, Jamie Spears, 70.

In November 2021, an L.A. judge terminated the cruel conservatorship, giving Britney control over her life and her finances – something that she did not have up until that point. 

The ending of Britney’s conservatorship, which she plans to discuss at great lengths in her upcoming autobiography, caused irreparable damage to her relationships with all immediate family members, including her dad Jamie, mom Lynne Spears, 68,  and sister Jamie Lynn Spears, 32.

But she has not been without family by any means, as she has become very close to her new mother-in-law, Fatima, as well as Sam’s sisters, Fay and Maddie, who have been outspoken about their love for Sam’s wife.

Britney was seen sans wedding ring on a getaway with manager Cade Hudson in March. At the time, Sam also was photographed without a ring while on an movie project outside of L.A. 

‘Sam heavily relies on his sisters for marriage advice, and they insert themselves into Sam’s life in a positive way, especially Fay.  It is almost like Sam has three moms,’ the source says.

TMZ announced the launch of its documentary on Monday – hours before the film premiered – prompting furious backlash from Sam.  

The actor went on Instagram live shortly after learning about the film, which he branded ‘disgusting’. 

In the emotional video, he said, ‘I found it absolutely disgusting for the people who were in her life when she didn’t have a voice, they went and told her story like it was theirs.’

‘All of a sudden—after 15 years when she’s free after all those gaslighting, all those things that went down—now you’re going to put her under a microscope and tell her story?’

The source tells DailyMail.com that ‘Sam does not want Britney to watch the documentary,’ but adds that it may be impossible to keep her from doing so. 

On March 31, rumors erupted that Britney and Sam’s marriage was on the rocks when they were spotted without their wedding rings. 

At the time, Britney was on vacation with her manager Cade Hudson in Mexico. Some assumed that this was a romantic relationship, but this would be impossible for a number of reasons. 

Sam and Britney quickly dispelled the rumors and a source revealed that Britney was on a getaway with Cade while Sam was filming outside of Los Angeles. 

One week prior, Sam told a TMZ reporter that he was shooting a top-secret film that is going to be his directorial debut. 

Sam l (seen left filming a movie with Kat Dennings in 2021 and right on the set of his Mel Gibson movie) has blasted TMZ’s documentary, calling the film ‘disgusting’ 

A source tells DailyMail.com that accusations that Britney is physically violent with Sam are untrue, adding that the are ‘undergoing counseling’ to work out marriage issues

The videographer asked Sam if he would like to star opposite his wife in an upcoming ‘rom-com.’

‘I hope so, I hope so, I think she’s a great actress’ Sam gushed. ‘I hope one day that’ll be a dream come true.’

He also hinted at maybe writing the perfect script for him and Britney himself.

In terms of his acting career, Sam has gotten some incredible roles since he started dating Britney. 

In November 2021, Sam shared a photo with Mel Gibson, who he met through Britney, on the set of a film that he was cast in.

‘Trying to get Mel to behave in a civilized manner,’ Sam wrote alongside a photo of the two of them.  

Sam’s desire to break into Hollywood was no secret though. After meeting Britney when he was cast in her Slumber Party music video, Sam started getting consistent parts in films and television shows.

‘My ultimate goal is to really become a well-rounded actor,’ he said in an interview in 2021 with Variety. ‘I want to do action, but I want to be able to do drama as well. This is my craft, and I want to accomplish it 100 percent.’

And he likes the action genre. ‘Action is something that I want to do — action, drama, thriller — that’s a genre that I want to really get into. But if you can do comedy, you can do anything,’ Sam said. 

When the outlet asked him about a recent role that he had in Hacks, he said that he would like to have a career similar to Tom Cruise. 

‘I want to get into blockbusters, I want to get into TV shows that get on Netflix and become fan favorites. My ultimate goal is to really become a well-rounded actor,’ Sam said. 

‘I’m doing a lot of MMA training, I’m doing a lot of gun and stunt training to be a well-rounded actor such as Tom Cruise.’

Before marrying Sam, Britney was married to a backup dancer Kevin Federline from 2004 to 2007.  They share two songs, Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, who do not currently have any contact with their mom. 

Before marrying ‘K-fed’ Britney had a shotgun wedding that was quickly annulled in Las Vegas to her high school boyfriend Jason Alexander – who was infamously arrested at her and Sam’s wedding for trespassing.
