Britney Spears' children didn't attend her wedding to Sam Asghari because they 'didn't want to take away' the spotlight from their mom
- Britney Spears' children did not attend her wedding to Sam Asghari, according to People.
- Spears has two sons from her previous marriage to Kevin Federline.
Britney Spears' children did not attend her star-studded wedding to her long-term boyfriend, Sam Asghari, on Thursday but were "happy" for their mom.
Multiple celebrity guests attended the ceremony at Spears' home in Thousand Oaks, California, including Madonna, Paris Hilton, and Drew Barrymore, according to People and the BBC. Spears' ex Jason Alexander (who was famously married to the pop star for 55 hours in 2004) was arrested after he livestreamed himself "crashing" the venue.
While Spears' two sons, Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, were not in attendance, an attorney for their father, Spears' former husband Kevin Federline, told People the boys were "hopeful" for their mother's future.
"They're happy for their mom and they are hopeful that Sam and Britney are starting a great future together," Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said. "It's their night and they didn't want to take away from them."
Spears' parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, along with her younger sister, Jamie Lynn, were also not included in the celebration, People reported.
Spears and Asghari have been together for nearly six years after meeting on the set of Spears' "Slumber Party" music-video set in 2016.
In June 2021, she testified that under the terms of her conservatorship, she was not able to "get married or have a baby." But in September, Spears and Asghari got engaged, and her conservatorship was terminated a couple months later after a Los Angeles judge ruled in favor of her plea.
In April, Spears and Asghari announced they were expecting their first child together. A month later, Spears said on Instagram that she miscarried.
A week after the incident, Asghari thanked fans for their support on an Instagram story post and said they were "moving forward with our future."
"Thank you for respecting our privacy," Asghari added. "We will be expanding our family soon."
