Who is Britney Spears’ ex-husband Jason Alexander?

Born on October 16, 1981, Jason Alexander is Britney Spears’ childhood friend and her first ex-husband.

The two have known each other since they were kids living in Kentwood, Louisiana.

On January 3, 2004, Britney and Jason tied the knot in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At the time of their nuptials, both Britney and Jason were 22 years old.

Their impromptu marriage lasted 55 hours and was annulled on Monday, January 5, of the same year.

“She just came out and asked me,” Jason remembered about that night.

According to him, the spur-of-the-moment wedding was Britney’s idea.

He told ABC News: “She was like, ‘Well, let’s get married,’ and I was like, ‘Sure. You know, let’s do this.’

“I went with my feelings. I was in love with her. I feel like she felt the same way.

“I had obviously got my feelings involved. That was probably the hardest part about it.”

Why was Britney and Jason’s marriage annulled?

Britney and Jason’s annulment stated the former “lacked understanding of her actions, to the extent that she was incapable of agreeing to the marriage.”

Regarding her brief marriage to Jason, Britney said she was “being silly, being rebellious, and not really taking the responsibility for what I was doing.”

The Grammy Award winner shared with E! Online: “So it was one of those things that were really silly…and after partying, you know, you really don’t think about what you’re doing.

“I think I was running away from something, I didn’t quite know what.”

According to Jason’s side of the story, he said their marriage was annulled because of pressure from Britney’s parents and her management team.

“We didn’t want to annul it. What they did to Britney and me should have rung warning bells,” he explained to the Daily Mail.

“The men in black swooped in, along with her mom, and other family members, and they made us sign paperwork under duress to end our marriage.

“I was tricked by her mom, dad, and lawyers into signing the annulment.

“I was told our marriage could hurt Britney’s career. I loved her and was a naive kid who had been raised to trust and respect my elders, just like she had.

“They told me if I would sign the contracts, the annulment, they would let me and Britney continue our relationship.”

He added: “They strung me along for 30 days, which was how long it took to get the annulment finalized, so I couldn’t contest it, and then they changed Britney’s number so I couldn’t talk to her.”

Why did Jason crash Britney’s wedding to Sam Asghari?

On June 9, 2022, Jason was arrested for a slew of charges stemming from an incident where he crashed Britney’s wedding to Sam Asghari.

After he was taken into custody, he was charged with:

• Felony stalking
• Misdemeanor vandalism
• Aggravated trespass
• Aggravated battery

He pleaded no contest to the latter two charges and the first two charges were dismissed.

For the incident, Jason was sentenced to 128 days in Ventura County Jail.

While discussing his reason for crashing the wedding with the abovementioned outlet, he mentioned: “It’s all for show. A Hollywood script. That whole thing is not real.

“I don’t think she looks happy. I spoke to her the Monday leading up to the wedding and she didn’t mention anything about getting married.

“I wanted to see it for myself. I want to see her happy. I want her making her own decisions on who she can be friends with and who she can see.”
