Britney lived at the residence from 2006 to 2012 before relocating to Thousand Oaks, People reported back in 2021. 

Realtor Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman Real Estate told the outlet at the time that the estate is ‘virtually paparazzi-proof’.

‘There is no angle or anything that can be seen from any other house or hill, nothing whatsoever,’ Altman explained.

The Stronger singer was married to Federline from 2004 to 2007 and has sons Sean Preston Federline, 19, and Jayden James Federline, 18, with him. 

In 2007, Britney infamously shaved her head at a hair salon in Tarzana, a suburb of Los Angeles, one day after she left a rehab facility in Antigua. Britney later re-entered treatment.

Later that year, in October, she lost physical custody of her sons to Federline. That same month she released fifth album, Blackout – which while a hit – became her first album not to top the charts in the USA.

In January 2008 Spears was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after police arriving at her house – after she locked herself in a bathroom with her sons and refused to turn them over to Federline – noticed she appeared to be under the influence.

Federline was given sole legal and physical custody and Spears was placed on a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold and committed to the psychiatric ward of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

She was placed under a conservatorship controlled by her father Jamie Spears, and attorney Andrew Wallet – which gave them complete control of her ᴀssets and worth and would continue for 13 years.

It began as a temporary arrangement, but became permanent by the end of the year. The controversial arrangement was eventually terminated in November 2021 after 12 years.

After her conservatorship ended, Spears walked down the aisle again 2022, tying the knot with her long-term boyfriend Sam Asghari.

The marriage lasted just two years, with Sam filing for divorce in 2022. 

Asghari recently broke his silence in a rare interview in which he revealed why he felt ‘afraid’ during her controversial conservatorship.

Six years after owning it, she officially sold it off in 2012 for $4.3M

The actor, 30, opened up about his seven-year romance with Spears during Wednesday’s episode of The Viall Files, calling it a ‘big part’ of his life.

As for Spears’ conservatorship, which was terminated in November 2021 after 12 years, Asghari admitted to host Nick Viall that it was ‘strange’ for him to ‘deal with.’

Asghari said he learned of Britney’s unique legal situation right when they started dating in 2016 — but not from the pop star herself.

‘That was very strange for me to deal with. I got hit with that at the beginning [of his relationship with Spears],’ he told Viall.

After her conservatorship ended, Spears walked down the aisle again 2022, tying the knot with her long-term boyfriend Sam Asghari. The marriage has since ended.

When asked by Viall if Britney ‘explained it’ to him, Asghari said that it was someone on Britney’s team who made him aware.

‘She didn’t explain. Somebody called me and said, ‘Oh, just so you know, this is this and make sure you’re obeying by our rules and stuff like that,” he claimed.

Asghari, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at age 12, said he initially feared that Britney was being ‘suppressed’ and ‘controlled.’

‘I’m coming from a country where I dealt with this already. I dealt with women being suppressed and being controlled by men their whole life,’ he explained.

‘So I was like, ‘Ok, this is weird but, wait a minute, this is America. Something doesn’t make sense.”

After the phone call with the unnamed member of Britney’s team, Asghari said he didn’t run to tell the singer right away.

‘Not necessarily. I really tried to understand it. I tried to understand why [the conservatorship] was ever in place to begin with,’ he told Viall.

Asghari appeared to suggest that he had little power in changing the situation as the singer’s boyfriend.

‘You really don’t have much to say especially if you’re just a boyfriend or someone that’s just there [in her life].’

He also admitted that he was ‘afraid’ of losing Britney if he tried to rock the boat.
