She wrote on Instagram: “Buying a horse soon!!! So many options it’s kinda hard!!! 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.”
Britney’s post came hours after Sam filed for divorce from Britney after 14 months of marriage and a relationship of seven years.
According to TMZ he cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for separation.
The publication claim Britney had Sam sign a prenup which maintains her assets as separate property.
Britney and Sam met on set of her ‘Slumber Party’ music video in October 2016 and they began dating shortly after.
They chatted all day and bonded over their love of sushi, swapping phone numbers at the end of the day so they could go on a proper date.
She recalled during a 2017 interview: “I found his number in my bag. I was like, ‘He is really really cute. So then I called him, and ever since then, he is just a really fun, funny person.”
Sam remained a key support system in Britney’s life, throughout the conservatorship battle with her father.
In April last year the couple announced they were expecting their first child, Britney’s third, but they sadly lost the baby just a few months in.
