Estimated read time 4 min read


Britney Spears and her new husband Sam Asghari have been granted a restraining order against her ex-husband after he gatecrashed her wedding ‘armed with a knife.’

The newlyweds’ lawyer said today Jason Alexander, 40, will not be allowed within 100 yards of them or their $7million Los Angeles home.

Mathew Rosengart revealed the jilted lover had ‘continuously trespassed’ in the past and was told he was not welcomed on their special day.

The order also noted how Asghari had been carrying a knife when he was tackled and arrested during the stunt on Thursday.

Alexander ran through hillside trails at the star’s Thousand Oaks mansion and screamed: ‘I’m Jason Alexander. The first husband. I’m here to crash the wedding.’

He then entered the wedding tent where Spears’ nuptials would be held just hours later, shouting: ‘She’s my first wife, she’s my only wife.’

But he was wrestled to the ground before being charged with trespassing, vandalism and two batteries after scrapping with Britney’s security guards.

Alexander was then booked into jail, where he is still being held on a $2,500 bail.

An additional $20,000 was added on for an open warrant out for grand theft embezzlement and possession of stolen property, according to Page Six

His arraignment for the emergency order is set for 1.30pm local time on Monday.  

Rosengart also told the Page Six that Alexander remains incarcerated, while confirming that a restraining order has been granted to his client. 

‘Fortunately, Alexander is incarcerated and under an emergency protective order,’ he stated. 

Rosengart added that he ‘looks forward to working with law enforcement to ensure Alexander is aggressively prosecuted and hopefully convicted, as he should be.’

An insider told Hollywood Life that many guests were hesitant to tell Spears about the incident at first, but eventually opted to tell the bride. 

‘At first, people thought that it would be best not to tell her because no one wanted it to ruin her special day. But obviously, it was everywhere and there was no way of hiding it. 

‘She was upset and it made her worried, but she was very thankful for the authorities and her staff who were able to get the situation under control and resolved quickly.’ 

Spears was reportedly shocked to learn Alexander would crash her wedding and was disappointed that ‘this is what some people will remember her wedding day by,’ the insider said. 

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.

Shortly after the crashing, a source told Page Six: ‘Britney is shaken, but doesn’t want to let this get her down. Everyone is thankfully safe, and Jason is no longer on the property.’

Alexander’s arrest is his third 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.

The estranged couple got hitched in Las Vegas in 2004 before the union was annulled 55 hours later.

Childhood pals Spears and Alexander 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.

It was annulled after Alexander later claimed he was forced by Britney’s mother, Lynne, and Britney’s management. 

Following the annulment, Britney said in an interview: ‘It was me being silly, being rebellious.’
