A day after filing for divorce in court, Sam wrote on his Instagram story, “After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together. We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always. Shit happens.”

“Asking for privacy seems [ridiculous] so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful,” he added.

Not long after, Britney herself spoke out on Instagram, admitting that she was “a little shocked” by the split.

“As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together," wrote. “Six 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!!! But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly. In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you!!!”

Claiming that Britney was feeling “let down” by Sam, the source alleged that the actor would “disappear for months” on end to work on projects, thus leaving her “all alone.”

“Of course she feels let down... Anyone would when your partner is not providing for you in the way you feel you need to be provided for,” they said. “She booked great, high-end vacations and paid for everything; they went everywhere on [a] private jet. But he was not super present.”

“You only have to ask, where was he when Britney was filming all her Instagram videos? He would just disappear for months to go filming and she would be left all alone,” they added.
