Britney Spears and Sam Asghari may have 'faced challenges after honeymoon phase'
Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are said to have split after just 14 months of marriage, with one expert suggesting they may have encountered "various challenges" in their romance.
While the pair started dating in 2016, they didn't tie the knot until June last year. Relationship expert Louella Alderson has suggested they may have displayed "different behaviour" once the honeymoon phase of their marriage had ended.
The honeymoon phase usually lasts from six months to two years and is the period in a couple's early relationship which is marked with enjoyment, laughs and good times. Speaking to The Mirror, Louella said: "When couples reach the 1.5/2 year mark in their marriage, they may encounter various challenges that can lead to struggles.
"One reason is that both partners may start to relax and show their true selves, which can be different from the best behaviour they displayed during the honeymoon phase. As old habits assert themselves, conflicts and differences may arise."

This period is filled with changes and adaptations as the couple learns to navigate their new life together."

She said it can be common for couples to encounter problems during this time for several reasons, such as blending preferences, routines, and lifestyles. Louella added: "Moreover, some couples may find it challenging to maintain the initial excitement and passion that characterised the early stages of their relationship.
"The honeymoon phase eventually fades away, and couples must transition into the daily realities of "normal life." This transition can sometimes be a bumpy ride as couples navigate different expectations, responsibilities, and routines."
However, she noted that every couple will experience a "unique" journey and said the challenges "aren't universal". The dating expert continued: "Many couples successfully navigate these rough patches and emerge stronger, building a solid foundation for a lasting marriage."

She also said partners need to be understanding of one another and not be afraid to seek professional help if needed.
Speaking about Britney and Sam's alleged split, she pointed out how they're both likely to have changed a lot over the past seven years. She added: "As she embarked on a new chapter in her life, Britney's relationship with Sam may have changed as well.
"Britney, who has had more freedom to go where she wants and post on social media how she likes, might feel more independent than ever. It's possible that her newfound freedom has created some tension in the relationship."
She also said the couple will have faced extra pressure as a result of being in the public eye. Louella told us: "It is certainly likely that the paparazzi and media pressure may have put extra strain on Britney and Sam's relationship, as it would be difficult to keep a sense of normalcy and privacy when constantly being followed by the press."
