Britney Spears is said to have "decided enough is enough" amid her divorce from estranged husband Sam Asghari, with the starlet wanting to "break free" after her conservatorship.

With the news of the couple's split emerging earlier this week, rumours and speculation have swirled around the former husband and wife, with Britney breaking her silence in the early hours of Saturday morning. In the post shared on Instagram, the Toxic singer explained she was "a little shocked" by the divorce, with her not able to take the pain anymore.

But now an expert has weighed in on Britney's situation and subsequent divorce, with them revealing that her marital issues could have stemmed from her childhood, with the starlet wanting to "break free" after deciding that "enough is enough". Noor Hibbert, Celebrity Transformation Coach and Sunday Times Bestselling author, has spoken exclusively to The Mirror US about her thoughts and opinions on why Britney and Sam might have split up.

"Having looked at the Britney's childhood and family set up, how her life is playing out is no surprise to me," Noor told us in an exclusive chat. She explained that as humans, "we base a lot of our patterns of behaviour and our templates for adult relationships on what we see, hear and experience as children. I believe that there are multiple things which could be happening which have led to Britney's divorce."

She went on to say that she doesn't think that Sam filed for divorce because the honeymoon period was over, but because she believes "Britney has a belief at her core that relationships are not safe". She went on: "We can see this from what we know of her parent's relationship and what she would have witnessed as a little girl. Our parental relationships become our templates for adult relationships.

"Her mother and father would often be fighting, arguing, there would be alcoholic rages and then begging for forgiveness. Britney has said she was very anxious, as any child would be living in that situation. Britney's primary caregivers should have been her security and safety. Therefore, anything that would have threatened this, the primitive part of her mind, which is there for safety and security, would have seen this as a threat and put her in a fight or flight situation," Noor went on.

Because of Britney's experience of relationships as a child, Noor believes that Britney could link the concept of love and relationships to them "being bad". She went on to say that the subconscious story of relationships being dangerous and not lasting "would be running in the back of her mind, as her parents ended up divorcing", with Noor believing that Britney's association with relationships is "a very negative one".

The expert said: "Often you will find patterns of behaviour between parental caregivers and their children, and the children unconsciously modelling. This would be to build connection and to declare 'I'm the same as you"' Once again, this is all happening in the unconscious mind. I would question could Britney not know how to break free from being a victim in a relationship?"

Then, touching on Britney's conservatorship, which ended in 2021, Noor explained how after she got freedom from her father, "it's possible that something in her head also switched as she decided she no longer wanted to be that person and wanted to just break free". Noor went on: "Sam had met Britney as this girl who behaved in the way she did to get love as a child. When he met Britney, she placated to what he needed her to be. I believe she has now decided enough is enough and is deciding to be who she wants to be."

She then concluded with: "This may well have caused some level of identity crisis for her within the relationship, resulting in a complete shift in dynamic between her and Sam, which has led him to file for divorce".
