Britney Spears and Jason Alexander

Celebrity couple

About

Britney Spears and Jason Alexander are known for their brief, 55-hour marriage in January 2004. The couple, who were childhood friends from Kentwood, Louisiana, decided to get married on a whim during a trip to Las Vegas. Spears has described the experience as a result of being "very drunk" and "bored," not a serious romantic gesture. They married at A Little White Wedding Chapel, a venue famous for celebrity elopements. The marriage was annulled just 55 hours later due to pressure from Spears' family, who were unhappy with the impromptu union. Despite the brief nature of their marriage, Alexander has remained in the public eye, notably for attempting to crash Spears' wedding to Sam Asghari in 2022. Spears has since moved on and spoken about the experience in her memoir, highlighting it as a moment of "innocent fun" that her family took too seriously.
