\u201cI think everybody makes mistakes and everybody deserves privacy,\u201d he said. \u201cIf we learn from history, we have to understand the press could hurt somebody recovering from a situation like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Us Weekly<\/em> confirmed that Spears, 44, was arrested for driving under the influence<\/a> on Wednesday, March 4, in Ventura County, California. She was booked the following morning and released shortly after. Spears is scheduled for court on May 4, per online records.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,\u201d Spears\u2019 rep told Us<\/em> following her arrest. \u201cBritney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney\u2019s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time. Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue, needed plan to set her up for success for well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pop star\u2019s rep added that her sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, \u201care going to be spending time<\/a> with her\u201d in the coming days. (Spears shares her two children with ex-husband Kevin Federline.)<\/p>\n

\u201cHer loved ones are going to come up with an overdue, needed plan to set her up for success for well-being,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n

Spears and Asghari were together for six years before they tied the knot in June 2022. The pair initially met on the music video for Spears\u2019 song \u201cSlumber Party.\u201d Asghari was by Spears\u2019 side during a portion of her 13-year conservatorship, which was ultimately terminated in 2021.<\/p>\n

Ashgari and Spears separated in July 2023 after one year of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in May 2024.<\/p>\n

One year after her divorce, Spears opened up about how she saw her marriage to Asghari<\/a> as a \u201cfake distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just people so fragile and human. The hardest years of my life were my two sons gone for those 3 years,\u201d Spears wrote via Instagram in August 2025, referring to her previous falling out with her sons who did not attend her and Ashari\u2019s wedding. \u201cI was cut off from calling or texting and I remember in shock my secret to survival was denial and a lot of tears.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer continued, \u201cIt\u2019s weird. Me and Sam were married but it almost felt like a fake distraction to help me deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
