Britney Spears finally tied the knot with her longtime partner Sam Asghari, 28, on the evening of June 9, 2022.

The 40-year-old songstress and her boyfriend have been going strong since linking up in 2016, but their love follows of string of short-lived romances for the pop superstar.

Below is a history of Britney's relationships going back to her earliest days as a rising performer.

Donald 'Reg' Jones (1995–1997)

Britney got her first official boyfriend, Reg Jones, when she was only 14 and he was 17.

In Lynne Spears' 2008 memoir Through The Storm, Britney's mother claimed that it was actually Jones whom her daughter lost her virginity to, not her future boyfriend Justin Timberlake.

In 2001, Jones put up two letter than the singer had written him while she was a teen, include one in which she broke up with him.

Justin Timberlake (1998–2002)

Britney's first serious relationship was with her former Mickey Mouse Club costar Justin Timberlake, who was then part of NSYNC.

Following their 2002 split, the singer publicly blamed Spears for their break up and used his 'heartbreak' to promote his music. A lookalike actress was also used to represent Spears in his video for Cry Me A River, which fans took to be a breakup song about their relationship.

Timberlake later wrote in an open apology that he was 'deeply sorry' and would 'take accountability' admitting that he had 'failed' her, after their relationship came under fresh scrutiny following the release of documentaries looking into Spears' conservatorship. 

Wade Robson (2002)

The Toxic singer reportedly moved on in the wake of her split from Timberlake with choreographer Wade Robson, who worked for both her and Justin's group NSYNC. 

Although it was never been confirmed by any of the trio, at the time it was rumoured that Wade was the real reason for the Justin and Britney split. 

Yet their relationship was short lived and Britney and Wade had split within the year.

Fred Durst (2003)

After the breakup with Robson, Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst claimed that he dated Britney, though she denied that they ever had a relationship.

The couple spent time together when working on songs for Britney's new album.  

'It just became a fiasco of madness,' Durst told MTV of the alleged breakup. '[But] I always stay true to my heart and true to everything I did and my intentions, and I am in no way a liar.'

Jared Leto (2003) 

Britney was also rumored around this time to have dated Jared Leto, but he never confirmed the alleged romance and she denied that they were eve ran item.

After they were seen together, she said they were just 'really good friends.' 

The dating rumours started after fans theorised that Spears had gone after Leto because he was Cameron Diaz's ex and Diaz, at the time, was dating Spears' ex Timberlake.  

Colin Farrell (2003)

There was clearly something going on between Britney and actor Colin Farrell in 2003, when they were seen kissing at the premiere of his film The Recruit, where they also walked the red carpet.

However, he shrugged the affectionate display off and said he was 'just a 26-year-old guy who's single and having a good time.'

While their fling may only have lasted a week, Farrell memorialized their relationship by sending Spears a shirt that read: 'I slept with Colin Farrell and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.'

Columbus Short (2003)

Britney dated within her own organization when she hooked up with her backup dance Columbus Short in 2003.

Short, who subsequently starred on Scandal, later claimed that he overheard Spears' parents Lynne and Jamie Spears refer to him by the N-word when she was on speaker phone with them, though he didn't specify who said it and they both denied using the word.

Columbus claimed to have only had sex with her once, and he claimed he was fired after he failed to reciprocate her affections. 

Jason Alexander (2004)

Britney's first (brief) marriage was to Jason Alexander, who had been her friend since childhood. He ended up crashing her wedding to Sam on the morning of the nuptials. 

The couple tied the knot on a whim in the early morning hours on January 3, 2004 during a ceremony at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were both 22 years old at the time.

Their marriage was annulled 55 hours later, which Alexander later claimed was forced by Britney’s mother, Lynne, and Britney’s management. Following the annulment, Spears said in an interview: 'It was me being silly, being rebellious.' 

Yet 18 years after their union it seems Alexander hasn't lost his feelings for Spears, as just hours before she was was due to marry her long-term partner Sam Asghari, 28, at her home Alexander broke onto the premises to crash the wedding. 

Britney's first husband Jason Alexander has been booked in to jail after dramatically livestreaming himself crashing her wedding at her Thousand Oaks mansion.   

Jason is now in the custody of the Ventura Sheriff's Department having been charged with trespassing, vandalism and two batteries after a couple of altercations with Britney's security guards.

Minutes before he was apprehended, Alexander managed to broadcast himself on Instagram as he ran through hillside trails, as he approached the rear of Spears' home.
