- April 24, 2026
AceShowbiz - Britney Spears has received support from her ex-husband, Sam Asghari, as she voluntarily enters a treatment facility following her recent arrest for a suspected DUI.
The Grammy-winning pop star's representative confirmed on April 12 that she had checked herself into a treatment center, though no specific reasons were provided for the decision. This development came shortly after Spears was arrested on March 4 in Ventura County, California, and booked for suspicion of driving under the influence. She was released the next day.
Sam Asghari was approached by TMZ on April 22 while entering a West Hollywood venue, where he expressed his approval of Spears’ choice to seek help. “I think it’s great,” he said. “Anything that has anything to do with healing and great things, as long as the person is in charge of that, it’s all great.” He added that he had not been in contact with Spears recently.
Following the arrest, Spears’ representative issued a statement to Billboard describing the incident as “unfortunate” and “completely inexcusable.” The rep emphasized that Spears intends to “take the right steps and comply with the law,” hoping this marks the beginning of necessary changes in her life. They also expressed hope that Spears would receive the help and support she needs during this challenging period.
Spears and Asghari married in 2022 after first meeting on the set of Spears’ “Slumber Party” music video. The couple separated the following year, with their divorce finalized in December 2024.
After the arrest, Asghari spoke to Fox News, urging privacy for Spears amid her struggles. “When it comes to people making mistakes, I understand that, but I think everybody deserves privacy,” he said. He expressed hope that the media would respect Spears’ need for privacy moving forward.
As of now, Spears has not publicly commented on her arrest or her decision to enter treatment. Fans and observers continue to watch closely as she takes steps toward recovery and healing.
