Asghari is supposedly being difficult after an apparent year-long marriage to Spears.
According to a Page Six report, Asghari allegedly wants the pop icon to pay him more than what their prenup stipulates in order to keep her secrets after their divorce.
According to a source, the 'Family Business' actor is "attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid."
Another insider informed the outlet that Spears is "protected" by her team and that the former couple's "parting will be respectful." They stated, "It’s blackmail and it’ll never happen."
Asghari might not be able to claim a share of the money his wife makes while they are still married.
Sam Asghari and Britney Spears split up following a 'nuclear argument'
The Daily Mail reported that Asghari and Spears have split up following a "nuclear argument" in which he confronted his wife about rumors that she had been unfaithful. The veracity of the rumors is, however, uncertain.
Asghari reportedly believed the reports that Spears was deceitful, leading to the couple's "huge fight" and Asghari's decision to leave their home and move into a separate residence.
According to a source with "direct knowledge" of the couple's reported split, Asghari has left their mansion, and will soon file for divorce, per TMZ.
The divorce news was revealed just three days after Spears shared a disturbing and obscene video with her Instagram followers following the purchase of a new stripper pole.
In June 2022, Spears and Asghari exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony at the California mansion of the 'Toxic' singer.

Page Six was informed that the prenuptial agreement Britney Spears and Sam Asghari signed before their big wedding was in the "favor" of the Grammy winner.
According to a previous Page Six source, Spears was given an "ironclad" prenuptial agreement that ensured "any money she made before the wedding is protected."
The prenuptial agreement's conditions were negotiated by Spears' lawyer Mathew Rosengart, who also assisted in freeing the 'Toxic' singer from her 13-year conservatorship in November 2021.
The pop star reportedly has a net worth of $70 million, but she also pays her ex-husband Kevin Federline, 45, tens of thousands of dollars in child support each month.
According to reports, Spears has a net worth of $70 million, much of which has gone toward paying legal bills and for her two children with Kevin Federline -- Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16.
Reportedly, the 'Crossroads' actress had been paying child support at a rate of $20,000 per month, but in May 2018, Federline wanted a raise to $60,000 per month.
