On her 43rd birthday, Britney Spears made headlines for an unusual moment as she walked onto a private jet.
The pop star was spotted holding a grill lighter in a strange display, which sparked concern among fans.
As she prepared to leave Los Angeles with friends, the sight of her brandishing the lighter over her mouth raised eyebrows.
Fashion Statement and Mysterious Gesture
Spears looked stylish in a chic white trench coat, paired with a plaid top and black knee-high boots.
As she walked across the tarmac, she pressed the lighter to her face while chatting with members of her entourage.
Her look was completed with a black fedora and white-rimmed sunglasses, with her blonde hair styled in soft waves.
The reason behind her holding the lighter remains unclear, but she even kept it near her mouth as she interacted with those around her.
While standard lighters, like cigarette lighters, are usually permitted on private jets, torch lighters with large flames, like the one she carried, are typically banned under TSA regulations.
Life After Divorce: Sam Asghari’s Departure
In addition to her birthday antics, Monday also marked a significant milestone for Spears—she was officially legally single, seven months after finalizing her divorce from Sam Asghari.
The couple’s split, after 14 months of marriage, has been a major topic of discussion.
According to reports, Asghari, who had a prenup in place, walked away from the marriage with very little.
Despite their divorce, Spears maintained some financial support for Asghari, helping pay his rent for a few months after he moved out.
Asghari has since moved on with Brooke Irvine, while Spears had a brief fling with her former housekeeper Paul Richard Soliz.
Reflecting on the Divorce
Asghari filed for divorce in August 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
While the split was tough, Spears addressed her emotions on social media, admitting she was initially shocked by the end of the marriage.
In a post alongside a dancing clip, she shared how overwhelmed she was by the support of her friends, expressing that her Instagram portrayed a perfect image that didn’t reflect the reality of her situation.
Though the divorce marked a difficult chapter, she reassured fans that she was “doing pretty damn good” and encouraged others to smile and enjoy life.
Sam Asghari’s Response
In his own statement, Asghari spoke with respect for his ex-wife, acknowledging their shared history.
He emphasized that they both wanted to part ways amicably, maintaining love and respect for each other.
He added, “S**t happens,” highlighting the natural progression of their relationship.
Asghari later reacted to a mention of him in Spears’ memoir, The Woman in Me, where she described him as a “gift from God.”
He expressed pride in her accomplishments, wishing her all the best in her future endeavors.
Despite their differences, Asghari has continued to speak positively about their time together.
Britney’s Financial and Family Updates
On the financial front, Spears made her final child support payment to ex-husband Kevin Federline in November.
She had been making regular payments for her youngest son, Jayden, who recently turned 18.
This concluded a long-standing financial agreement that started when she and Federline divorced in 2007.
Spears has also regained control of her $60 million estate, marking another step toward independence following the end of her conservatorship.
Sources close to her report that she has remained sober and is focused on healing from past trauma.
Focus on Health and Relationships
Spears is said to be prioritizing her mental and physical health, regularly working with a therapist and taking prescribed psychiatric medication.
She has a full-time chef and medical professional at her home to monitor her well-being.
Most notably, she has rebuilt a strong relationship with her sons, which insiders say has been transformative for her.
Throughout her tumultuous conservatorship, Spears rarely had contact with her children.
However, sources close to her now say she and her sons speak often, and the emotional bond they share has been incredibly healing for the pop star.
As she moves forward, Spears is determined to continue focusing on herself, distancing herself from toxic influences, and embracing the love and support of her family.
