As fans try to figure out exactly what went on behind the scenes to bring about the end of Britney Spears' short-lived marriage to Sam Asghari, it seems we may have a bit of new intel. According to sources close to the singer, Britney reportedly believed that Sam was "secretly working" with her estranged father, Jamie Spears, to feed him information about his daughter when they weren't on speaking terms. Britney was only recently freed from the conservatorship that Jamie held over her for more than a decade.

Supposedly, Britney was suspicious for a while.
According to what a source close to the family told the Daily Mail, Britney believed that Sam was feeding Jamie personal information about her.
"Britney has reason to believe that Sam was secretly working with her dad Jamie since early on in their relationship," the source said.
Sam and Jamie supposedly struck up a deal.
"Sam would supply information to Jamie that would help to keep her locked in the conservatorship. In exchange, Sam was given access to her and her money. Britney now feels like Sam was being deceitful all along," the insider added.
In the end, their plan didn't work; Britney was freed from her conservatorship in November 2021. But of course, believing that something like this happened obviously didn't instill a lot of trust in Sam for Britney.
Britney was done with Sam 'months' before their divorce news broke.
"Britney was done with Sam months ago and was very unhappy. There were plans in place to set Sam up with his own place and give him money to live on so that it would be amicable," the source added.
That certainly seems to be what happened, because according to recent reports, Britney is paying $10,000 a month for Sam's new LA apartment.

At this point, Britney appears to be moving on.
She's back to her regularly scheduled content on Instagram, sharing dance videos with her followers again as she always does, and she's even been photographed by paparazzi while on outings.
A divorce just a year after getting married can't be easy, but it looks like Brit's getting through it.
Sam has always behaved as though he's on Britney's side.
Publicly, he stood by her as she shared her experiences under Jamie's conservatorship — something that she told the court was preventing her and Sam from getting married and having children of their own in the first place. It would be shocking to find out that he had been helping Jamie keep Britney under lock and key all along.
