Britney Spears Celebrates Birthday After Declared Legally Single Post-Divorce

Britney Spears celebrated her 43rd birthday in style just hours after she was declared single following her divorce from model Sam Asghari.

The "Toxic" singer showed off her party outfit on Instagram which included a champagne colored slip and lace shawl.

"Before dinner red lips and delicious wine 👄🍷!!!" Spears captioned the post.

Then in the early hours of Tuesday, Spears returned to Instagram to remind people it was her birthday and to complain about the paparazzi. She also joked she was turning five years old and would be heading to kindergarten.

"It hurts my feelings, that the paparazzi make my face look like I'm wearing a white Jason mask and it doesn't even look like me," Spears said referring to the Michael Myers villain in the Halloween horror movies. She added that paparazzi have "always been incredibly cruel to me."

"I know I'm not perfect at all by any means, but some of it is extremely mean and cruel, and that's why I've moved to Mexico," she said.

In another video, Spears addressed recent photos of her boarding a plane, but changed tack toward the end to acknowledge it was her big day.

"Anyways, it's my birthday. I'm not turning 42, I'm turning the five this year. I'm turning five years old and I have to go to kindergarten tomorrow," she said to the camera.

The video concluded with Spears showing off her chocolate-coated birthday cake, topped with "baby strawberries."

"It's a very, very cute baby cake," the singer said.

Spears was celebrating her birthday as a single woman almost 18 months after Asghari filed for divorce.

Court documents on Monday declared Spears as single following the finalization of their divorce in May, per People magazine and E! News.

Both Spears and Asghari agreed to an uncontested divorce, according to USA Today.

The pair were married for 13 months but had been dating since 2016 when they met on the set of the music video for her song, "Slumber."

They married in a star-studded ceremony at her home in Malibu in June 2022, but Asghari filed for divorce the following year citing "irreconcilable differences."

After their separation and her release from a controversial conservatorship put in place by her father, Spears released a memoir where she described Asghari as a "gift from God."

"I knew I wanted him in my life immediately. I was instantly smitten. The chemistry with us in the beginning was insane. We couldn't keep our hands off each other," she wrote of Asghari in the book called The Woman In Me. "He called me his lioness."

Spears added later: "I have an appreciation for how stable he is. I love that he doesn't even drink."
