Britney Spears is officially single nearly a year and a half after ex-husband Sam Asghari filed for divorce, according to reports.

According to court documents obtained by People magazine and E! News, Spears was declared legally single on Monday. The ruling falls on the pop icon's 43rd birthday (Dec. 2.).

This legal conclusion in the former couple's split comes seven months after Spears and Asghari's divorce was finalized in May. Both parties agreed to an uncontested divorce and waived their right to a trial and an appeal of the case, per documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by USA TODAY.

Britney Spears, left, was declared legally single in court Monday, according to reports, following her recent divorce from Sam Asghari.

USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Spears for comment.

At the time, Spears' legal team requested that the singer's property and assets with Asghari be divided per their premarital agreement, with Spears holding on to her earnings before, during and after their marriage. They also asked for spousal support to be ordered by the court as detailed in their written agreement.

Asghari filed a petition to dissolve his 14-month-old marriage to Spears in August 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who met while working on Spears' 2016 "Slumber Party" music video, had tied the knot in June 2022.

Spears addressed the split in an Instagram video at the time, writing, "6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I'm a little shocked but … I'm not here to explain why because it's honestly nobody's business !!!"

Spears and Asghari had no children together. Spears said she and Asghari lost a baby early in her pregnancy in May 2022.

In a March interview with People magazine, Asghari said it "was a blessing" to have shared his life with Spears "for a long time," adding that "people grow apart and people move on."

"I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life, and that's always going to be part of my life, a chapter of my life," Asghari said.

Spears was previously married to Kevin Federline, with whom she shares sons Sean and Jayden, from 2004 to 2007 and to Jason Alexander, a childhood friend she married in Las Vegas, for 55 hours.

Christmas miracle as dying donkey is saved - then births real life 'little donkey'
Holidaymakers found room at the inn for a dying mule - who then gave birth to a surprise real life 'little donkey' in a festive miracle. Sue Toach, 52, was due to fly out to Boa Vista, Cape Verde, when she spotted a post on their hotel Facebook page about a dying donkey found stranded on the beach. Animal lover Sue and her husband, Andy, 54, purchased some supplies to take in a bid to save the skeletal and sick donkey - named Bella-Riu - from death. On arrival, Sue, a community safety educator, and Andy, a service engineer, teamed up with other hotel guests and local tour guides to get a vet out to get Bella treatment. They then managed to find a home for her at a local riding centre and, just days later, Bella gave birth - in the stable - when nobody had even known she was pregnant. Now fast-recovering Bella and her surprise son - their very own 'little donkey' - named 'Spaghetti', live happily in their new home.
