Britney Spears officially tied the knot with her boyfriend of five-years at her sprawling Thousand Oaks, California home on Thursday evening.
The 40-year-old hitmaker, who got engaged to her now-husband Sam Asghari, 28, in September, wore a custom Versace bridal gown created by legendary fashion icon Donatella Versace, who was also in attendance for the couple’s ‘I Dos.’
Thursday’s ceremony was a star-studded affair, with the likes of socialite Paris Hilton and actress Drew Barrymore seen arriving to Britney’s 12,464-square-foot, five-bedroom, eight-bath Italian villa in their chauffeured vehicles.
Britney’s Versace wedding dress had ‘an off-the-shoulder cap sleeve and a deep V-shaped slit in the leg,’ as per E! News. Britney previously teased Donatella’s potential involvement in bringing her wedding gown to life an Instagram post published in March.
The outlet also dished that the Womanizer songstress wore jewelry by Stephanie Gottlieb and her makeup was courtesy of Charlotte Tilbury.
There was also a party crasher in Britney’s ex-husband Jason Alexander, who was restrained by event security and later charged with ‘trespassing, vandalism, and two counts of battery’ after he broke into her compound earlier in the day.
Yet the celebrity guests seemed unfazed by the drama as they were chauffeured home after watching Britney and Sam say ‘I do’.
Britney and Sam tied the knot after her 13-year conservatorship came to an end – a ruling which Britney previously revealed stopped her from getting married or having children with Sam. Her parents, Jamie and Lynn Spears, as well as her sister Jamie-Lynn Spears were not in attendance.

The horse and carriage arrived shortly after 4pm and were the latest in a long line of arrivals, following minivans carrying workers and caterers.

Sam’s manager, Brandon Cohen, confirmed the news via a statement shortly after the lovebirds both posted on their Instagram accounts.
‘The couple made their long-standing relationship official today and are deeply touched by the support, dedication, and love expressed to them,’ he said, adding that Britney’s new ring was designed by New York City-based jeweler Roman Malayev.
The bespoke design features a brilliant stone in a platinum cathedral setting, and is enhanced with a floating solitaire design and has pavé detailing on the bridge.
The celebrity couple has also enjoyed a series of luxury getaways in the months since the engagement, as they have been seen in Hawaii, Las Vegas, and opulent Mexican resorts in Cabo San Lucas and Cancun.
The Baby One More Time songstress has stated that she had a number of plans following the end of her 13-year conservatorship last November, among them was getting married, purchasing a new home, and having more children.
She and Sam revealed that they were expecting their first child together in April, but tragically suffered a pregnancy loss in May. Both have expressed hopes of having a child in the future.
Missing from the wedding were the 40-year-old Toxic singer’s estranged family, including her ex-conservator father Jamie Spears, 69, and her younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears, 31.
Britney’s ex-husband Kevin Federline confirmed to TMZ earlier in the day that their sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, would also but absent from the ceremony, but that they’re ‘happy for Britney and wish her and Sam all the best going forward.’
Insiders told TMZ on Wednesday it is still unknown who will give Spears away at the altar.

Britney Spears’ first husband Jason Alexander is booked into jail on trespassing, vandalism and battery charges after crashing the pop star’s wedding live on Instagram saying ‘she’s my first and only wife
Jason Alexander, Britney Spears’ first husband who livestreamed himself crashing her wedding on Thursday afternoon at her California mansion, is 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.
The 40-year-old was easily able to scale a fence, descend a rocky hillside and slip inside the wedding venue, all-the-while telling security exactly who he was, and why he was there – just hours before the fairytale ceremony got underway.
Alexander’s arrest is the third arrest in 13 months. Police sources revealed he also has a felony warrant for larceny in another county.
He was last in police custody for driving under the influence in January 2021 and breaking security protocols at an airport in August. Alexander was also arrested previously for violating an order of protection and stalking an unidentified woman in December 2021.
Britney Spears’ wedding was just dramatically interrupted, as her first husband, Jason Alexander, showed up trying to crash the event … resulting in a police response.
Britney Spears’ lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor said he is ‘personally working with the sheriff’s department to ensure Mr. Alexander is aggressively prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’
The drama happened on Britney’s own property in Thousand Oaks, California – hours before her wedding was due to start
Spears had previously been married to Alexander when they got married in January for just 55 hours in 2004 in a spur-of-the-moment ceremony in Vegas

On Thursday night, Spears‘ attorney revealed he was ‘absolutely livid’ after Alexander crashed the pop star’s wedding venue and demanded he be locked up.
Mathew Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor with a reputation that has seen him represent a host of high-profile clients since he went into private practice in 2001, said he is ‘personally working with the sheriff’s department to ensure Mr. Alexander is aggressively prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’
‘Jason Alexander has been handcuffed, taken into custody and arrested. I express my thanks to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department for their prompt response and good work,’ Rosengart, told TMZ in a statement.
Rosengart’s vow to see Alexander prosecuted capped off an afternoon of drama within the grounds of Spears’ Thousand Oaks, California mansion hours before she is due to marry longtime boyfriend Sam Asghari.
A photographer captured the moment Alexander was apprehended by security and pinned to the ground.
Alexander claimed that Britney had ‘invited him’ to the event and that she was his ‘first and only wife’ before he proudly stated he was there to ‘crash the wedding’.
At one point, he managed to make it inside the wedding tent which was decorated in pink roses, before he was once again confronted by armed security.
He was swiftly tackled to the ground and escorted off the premises with the Ventura County Sheriff having been summoned. Overhead photos show at least six patrol cars in attendance as Alexander’s antics demonstrated a stunning breach in security surrounding the star.
Rosengart told TMZ he’s ‘absolutely livid’ Alexander tried to crash and wants Alexander locked up.
Alexander and Spears tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2004 and were married for just 55 hours before they had their union annulled.
In a 10 minute long Instagram live video, Alexander can be seen scaling a fence on the perimeter of Spears’ property as he documents exactly what he is about to do.
He encounters a number of security personnel and openly states his name and intention: ‘I’m Jason Alexander. The first husband. I’m here to crash the wedding!’
As Alexander descends a hillside, he enters the wedding tent where planners are still busy putting the finishing touches, even shaking hands with some of the workers.
Several rows of wooden benches can be seen lined up, together with an alter covered in pink roses under which the couple would later say their vows.

Alexander introduces himself to several of the workers present who are helping to put everything into place.
He then marches inside the house demanding to know: ‘Where’s Britney?’
The video occasionally cuts out completely but Alexander can be seen bounding up a fight of stairs to the second story before entering what appears to be a bedroom while still calling out Britney’s name.
Eventually, Alexander is apprehended by a member of the security team who can be see holding a gun in his hand, which he keep pointed towards the floor.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department raced to the scene to respond to a trespassing call.
Three police cars arrived at the singer’s Thousand Oaks home just after 2.30pm, along with a fire truck.
An onlooker told DailyMail.com: ‘It all happened very fast. Three cop cars just showed up and went screeching up her drive.
‘We were all trying to figure out what’s going on, especially after the fire truck left.’
When reached by phone, Alexander’s father, Dennis, told DailyMail.com, ‘No comment,’ on his son’s antics.
