Britney Spears has dec lared she has "married myself" a year after the breakdown of her marriage to Sam Asghari

In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "The day I married myself ... Bringing it back because it might seem embarrassing or stupid, but I think it's the most brilliant thing I've ever done !!!"

Britney's first husband was her childhood friend Jason Alexander but their marriage was annulled just 55 hours after they tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2004.

She went on to wed dancer Kevin Federline later that year and they became parents to two sons before splitting in 2007. Britney married for a third time in 2022 when she wed Sam but they split the following summer in August 2023.

After her third marriage ended, Britney opened up about her new relationship status and revealed it felt "weird" to be single.

In a post on Instagram, she explained: "It's so weird being single. I've realised I don't talk to myself that nicely at all. I'm easily manipulated and wear my heart on my sleeve, but I'm definitely changing all of that.

"I have to make time to stop and look around to re-evaluate myself and say is this good for me ??? I like a routine and I usually do the same thing every day .... l'm honestly bored but I'm also scared of a lot of things ...

"The way I live my life is mine ... I've had so many people interfere with that ... But to know it's ok to be selfish with my life and enjoy it is amazing !!!"
