Spears, 41, has posted once since the news of the split broke but didn’t address it, only saying that she was planning on buying a horse.
"So many options it’s kinda hard !!!" she wrote alongside of photo of her horseback riding. "A horse called Sophie and another called Roar??? I can’t make up my mind!!! Should I join the camaraderie and put a pink cowboy hat on??? Either way I think I found my sweet spot with Roar!!!"
Asghari filed for divorce in a Los Angeles court late Wednesday, saying in the filing that the couple had split three weeks ago on July 28 and requesting financial support from her while attempting to block her from getting any from him.
A rep for Asghari told Fox News Digital, "There are many claims that Sam is challenging the prenup and threatening to exploit his ex-wife with videos. However, all these claims are false, as no negative intention has ever been directed towards her and never will be. Sam has always and will always support her."
