Britney Spears, 41, and Sam Asghari, 29, tied the knot in June last year after almost six years of dating.
However, as part of TMZ’s upcoming documentary on the pop star and “the price of freedom” from her conservatorship which ended in 2021, the outlet reported that the couple is in “deep trouble”.
In a short clip from the doc which airs tonight, the site claims it was told by multiple sources that Britney and Sam’s marriage “is on the rocks”.
The source claimed Britney has been “physical with Sam” on multiple occasions, but noted that the 6ft1in model is “pretty passive”.
Although, it was also reported that “screaming matches” are common in the relationship and Sam is at Britney’s home less and less.

A psychiatrist for the documentary, Charles Sophy declared it “would be totally understandable” if Sam “had to pull himself back”, noting: “There still is a place where you have to take care of yourself.”
The claims come just days after Britney made a rare appearance on her husband’s Instagram page over the weekend.
Sam shared a very short clip as he posed with the Toxic singer on a windy hilltop with a large body of water sparkling in the background titled: “Hike with my woman.”
However, his comments section quickly filled with streams of backlash from Britney’s fans as some claimed he had “photoshopped” the picture and the conspiracy that the singer has been replaced with a double re-emerged as the star was wearing bulky sunglasses.
One fan blasted: “I guess he had to post a pic with his wife after the comment from yesterday…they are never together…like in the beginning. He has his notoriety now.”
Another declared: “Might be your woman but it sure ain’t Britney.”
Barely two months ago, rumours circulated that the pair had split when Sam was pictured without his wedding ring.
The actor’s representative, Brandon Cohen, quickly slammed the speculation explaining to People that Sam had taken it off as he was filming a movie.
Similarly, in January, a clip went viral of Sam and Britney out at what started as a romantic dinner.
Other guests at the venue told TMZ at the time that the Grammy-winner grew increasingly “manic” during the evening and Sam stormed off when she began “yelling” at him.
However, the actor later told the outlet that they had both become uncomfortable as most of the restaurant began filming them and he had just left to get the car.
He shared: “When you sit down to have a meal and people get their cameras out and start filming you, it’s disrespectful.
“People get a little too excited to see my wife, so everybody’s filming and doing their thing, but you know how it is…
“Fame comes with the territory and I went to get the car to get the hell out of there and people just thought I left!”
