Britney Spears' first husband, Jason Alexander, also known as her 55 hours, sparked a commotion during her wedding to Sam Asghari in June 2022. He showed up to the wedding without an invitation on Thursday, June 9, 2022, and even posted about it on Instagram. However, he was quickly apprehended by police.
Fans uploaded a video of Jason's Instagram live on Twitter. According to TMZ, Jason informed event security that his first and only wife, Britney, had invited him. A trespassing report was filed at Britney's house, and the Ventura County Sheriff's Office arrived. Due to his altercations with security, Jason was arrested for trespassing, vandalism, and two charges of violence.

He was also wanted on a felony larceny warrant in another county and was subsequently taken into police custody. Mathew Rosengart, Britney's attorney, stated his outrage at Jason's behavior at the time, saying, "I am personally working with the sheriff's department to ensure Mr. Alexander is aggressively prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Britney married Jason, a childhood friend, in January 2004 in Las Vegas. Their marriage, however, was canceled just 55 hours later after she petitioned the court, claiming that she didn't completely understand her conduct. She married Kevin Federline in September of that year, and they have two children, Sean and Jayden. However, her marriage to Kevin terminated in 2007.
Britney Spears and Jason’s Wedding:
Jason Alexander's three-day marriage to Britney Spears began and ended on New Year's Day in 2004. Britney had invited him to Vegas and had even flown him there on a private aircraft. Things took an unexpected turn during their Las Vegas excursion. While she was inebriated, Spears suggested getting married.
"She just came out and asked me, 'Well, let's get married,'" Jason recounted. And I said, 'Sure. 'All right, let's do this.'" Jason said that he was acting on his emotions as well. "I went with my feelings, I was in love with her," he explained. I think she felt the same way." They eventually went to a wedding chapel, exchanged vows, and posed for the now-famous shot with Britney wearing a white baseball cap and baring her midriff.
This brief marriage, however, did not last. It was dissolved after 55 hours because Britney "lacked understanding of her actions, to the extent that she was incapable of agreeing to the marriage."
