Britney Spears Remains in 'Great Spirits' Despite Divorce from Husband Sam Asghari: Source (Exclusive)

Britney Spears is focused on the future.

Amid her divorce from husband Sam Asghari, 29, the pop superstar, 41, is still “in great spirits despite everything going on,” a source tells PEOPLE exclusively. 

“Obviously it's never an easy thing to go through, but she’s remaining positive and focusing on the future."

The former couple — who insiders previously said had been struggling for months — made the decision to “move on a few weeks ago,” adds the source.

According to documents obtained by PEOPLE on Thursday, Asghari's divorce filing cited irreconcilable differences as their reason for divorcing and includes July 28 as their date of separation.

While navigating the difficult situation, Spears is busy with an array of work projects, including the upcoming release of her book and more music. (Last month, she and longtime collaborator Will.i.am dropped their song “Mind Your Business,” which marked Spears’ first new music since her 2022 collaboration, “Hold Me Closer," with Elton John.)

For now, the star “is focused on her book release, has an upcoming writers’ camp and is getting songs from some big artists,” says the source. “Ideally she would love to do a new record soon, and maybe a powerful song for the book’s release.”

Spears will release her much-anticipated memoir, The Woman in Me, on Oct. 24.

A manager for Asghari, who filed for divorce on Wednesday, declined to comment and a rep for Spears has not responded to requests for comment.
