The 43-year-old pop star got candid on Monday in a since-deleted Instagram caption, where she said that the marriage was a way to cope with being separated from her two teenage sons.
“I was cut off from calling or texting and I remember in shock my secret to survival was denial and a lot of tears its weird me and Sam were married but it almost felt like a fake distraction to help me deal with it,” Britney wrote.
Britney tied the knot with the Traitors star in January 2022, and the two called it quits just over a year later. Their divorce was finalized in May 2024.
The Toxic artist’s social media posts, which often contain confusing captions and risqué photos, have continued to spark concern among fans over Britney’s mental health.
