While the celebrity guests seemed in good spirits, the wedding got off to fraught start when Britney’s ex-husband was arrested for trespassing.
Jason Alexander livestreamed himself crashing her wedding at her California mansion, an is now in the custody of the Ventura Sheriff’s Department having been charged with trespassing, vandalism and two batteries after a couple of altercations with Britney’s security guards.
Minutes before he was apprehended, Alexander managed to broadcast himself on Instagram as he ran through hillside trails, as he approached the rear of Spears’ home.
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.
Alexander’s arrest is the third arrest 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.
On Thursday night, Spears’ attorney revealed he was ‘absolutely livid’ after Alexander crashed the pop star’s wedding venue and demanded he be locked up.
Mathew Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor with a reputation that has seen him represent a host of high-profile clients since he went into private practice in 2001, said he is ‘personally working with the sheriff’s department to ensure Mr. Alexander is aggressively prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’
‘Jason Alexander has been handcuffed, taken into custody and arrested. I express my thanks to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department for their prompt response and good work,’ Rosengart, told TMZ in a statement.
Rosengart’s vow to see Alexander prosecuted capped off an afternoon of drama within the grounds of Spears’ Thousand Oaks, California mansion hours before she is due to marry longtime boyfriend Sam Asghari.
A photographer captured the moment Alexander was apprehended by security and pinned to the ground.
Alexander claimed that Britney had ‘invited him’ to the event and that she was his ‘first and only wife’ before he proudly stated he was there to ‘crash the wedding’.

At one point, he managed to make it inside the wedding tent which was decorated in pink roses, before he was once again confronted by armed security.
He was swiftly tackled to the ground and escorted off the premises with the Ventura County Sheriff having been summoned. Overhead photos show at least six patrol cars in attendance as Alexander’s antics demonstrated a stunning breach in security surrounding the star.
Rosengart told TMZ he’s ‘absolutely livid’ Alexander tried to crash and wants Alexander locked up.
Alexander and Spears tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2004 and were married for just 55 hours before they had their union annulled.

In a 10 minute long Instagram live video, Alexander could be seen scaling a fence on the perimeter of Spears’ property as he documented exactly what he was about to do.
He encountered a number of security personnel and openly stated his name and intention: ‘I’m Jason Alexander. The first husband. I’m here to crash the wedding!’

As Alexander descended a hillside, he entered the wedding tent where planners were still busy putting the finishing touches, even shaking hands with some of the workers.
Several rows of wooden benches could be seen lined up, together with an alter covered in pink roses under which the couple would later say their vows.
Alexander introduced himself to several of the workers present who are helping to put everything into place.
He then marched inside the house demanding to know: ‘Where’s Britney?’
The video occasionally cut out completely but Alexander could be seen bounding up a fight of stairs to the second story before entering what appears to be a bedroom while still calling out Britney’s name.
Eventually, Alexander was apprehended by a member of the security team who could be see holding a gun in his hand, which he kept pointed towards the floor.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department raced to the scene to respond to a trespassing call. Three police cars arrived at the singer’s Thousand Oaks home just after 2.30pm, along with a fire truck.
An onlooker told DailyMail.com: ‘It all happened very fast. Three cop cars just showed up and went screeching up her drive. We were all trying to figure out what’s going on, especially after the fire truck left.’
When reached by phone, Alexander’s father, Dennis, told DailyMail.com, ‘No comment,’ on his son’s antics.

The reason for the ‘out county warrant’ has yet to be determined.
Before the ruckus, party planning staff were captured unloading a Cinderella-style carriage onto the property, along with a gorgeous Camarillo White Horse, and hoards of other wedding decor.

On its website, the company says ‘something sacred is at stake at every event’ and boasts of using the best local ingredients, adding: ‘Our commitment to quality ingredients goes uncompromised.
‘We utilize local organic produce whenever possible and source sustainable poultry and meat from local ranches.’
A sample wedding menu includes appetizers of Kobe beef sliders and Ahi tuna tartare, followed by entrees such as ‘a duet of spice rubbed, grilled and sliced flank steak’ or Santa Barbara sea bass served with charred fennel, saffron and a tomato herb cream sauce.Puddings include panna cotta with berry compote and a molten chocolate cake.

How Britney Spears’ 13-year conservatorship restricted her ability to marry and have children
Britney Spears shocked her fans when she testified in June 2021 that her conservatorship, which was put in place in 2008, prevented her from getting married or even having another child.
‘I want to be able to get married and have a baby,’ she said during a conservatorship hearing. ‘I was told right now in the conservatorship, I’m not able to get married or have a baby, I have an IUD inside of myself right now so I don’t get pregnant.’
The terms of Spears’ conservatorship turned over control of her estate to various figures, including her father Jamie Spears and conservator of her person Jodi Montgomery, who succeeded her father.
However, according to experts who spoke to Rolling Stone, California law wouldn’t have barred Britney from getting married or having children unless there was an explicit order to do so.
Shocking: Britney Spears, 40, astounded her fans when she testified in June 2021 that she couldn’t get married or have a baby due to her conservatorship; seen with father Jamie
Under the rules of the arrangement, the singer was not able to enter into any contracts, according to legal experts who spoke to Variety.
That means that she could accept an informal marriage proposal from Sam Asghari, but she would have been prevented from marrying as long as the conservatorship was in place, unless she got the permission of her conservator.
If she had tried to sign a marriage license, it likely would have been invalidated if the conservatorship didn’t first give her permission.
Confusion: Though some legal experts said she likely couldn’t get married without permission, others told Rolling Stone that she could as long as there wasn’t an order barring it; seen in 2016
In the dark: Britney court-appointed lawyer Samuel Ingham III came under fire for allegedly never telling Spears that she could ask to end her conservatorship
The fact that the singer believed she couldn’t marry or have children raised troubling questions about what kind of information and advice she was receiving from her court-appointed attorney Samule Ingham III, who began representing her in 2008.
Despite the restrictive conditions of the conservatorship, Ingham III reportedly never took steps to end the arrangement, and he eventually stepped down in July 2021, following his client’s bombshell testimony.’
He was previously lambasted by experts after Spears testified that she didn’t know she was allowed to petition to end her conservatorship.
The issue is now a moot point for Spears, who is free to control her life and estate. After Ingham resigned, her new lawyer Mathew Rosengart represented Britney before a judge ended the conservatorship in November 2021.

Inside Britney Spears’ toxic family after conservatorship battle left her estranged from father, mother and sister
Britney Spears’ ‘cult-like’ conservatorship was terminated by a judge last November after 13 years of having her $60million fortune and personal affairs controlled by her 69-year-old father Jamie Spears.
And in the months leading up to the arrangement’s end, Britney exposed the true state of her relationship with Jamie, as well as her mother Lynne and sister Jamie Lynn.
She’s put her family on blast for allegedly taking advantage of her during the ‘demoralizing and degrading’ conservatorship, even going as far as to say they belong in jail for ‘what they did to me.’
And now, with Britney living life estranged from her father, sister and mother, DailyMail.com is looking back on how the conservatorship tore the Spears family apart.

Jamie Spears
Jamie was granted a ‘temporary conservatorship’ over his daughter in 2008 after the singer landed herself in the headlines for erratic behavior – including THAT infamous head shaving incident – and, eventually, suffering a nervous breakdown.
Despite its initial temporary nature, the conservatorship was extended indefinitely, leaving Britney under the control of her father for the next 13 years.
Though Britney has previously hinted at the fact that the conservatorship felt ‘just like Groundhog Day every day’ to her, the Lucky singer rarely spoke about the arrangement or the extent of her father’s involvement in her financial, personal and career decisions.
Jamie would abruptly step down as conservator in 2019, citing personal health reasons.’ Jodi Montgomery, an experienced conservator, would temporarily take over his duties.

Obvious tensions between Jamie and Britney became public when the performer objected to him remaining her conservator the following year, even threatening to cease performing if he remained in power.

Though her bid to give Jamie the boot was denied, Britney’s fight to end her conservatorship as a while would gain intense momentum in 2021 following the release of The New York Times’ documentary Framing Britney Spears, which took a deep dive into the controversial conservatorship.
Just one month later, Britney’s lawyer Samuel Ingham III filed to have Jamie removed and to have Jodi takeover. And in April, she’d request to address the court regarding the life she’d been forced to live for the past 13 years.
In the 24-minute testimony, Britney slammed Jamie and claimed that the conservatorship was ‘allowing my dad to ruin my life.’
She accused her family of purposely instigating her ‘angry tantrums’ and ‘crazy’ behavior, which led to her undergoing a number of psych evaluations ‘against my will.’
She further alleged that Jamie and the rest of the family were staying at her home in Jackson Beach, Florida at the time and that her father ‘didn’t care to ask what was going on then.’
Britney also told the court that she was ‘always extremely scared’ of Jamie while growing up due to his struggles with alcohol.
By August 2021, after continued efforts in the courts by Britney’s new lawyer Mathew S. Rosengart, Jamie agreed to step down as conservator.

Jamie Lynn Spears
Britney and her younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears have developed a highly contentious relationship over the years – which would go into overdrive as Britney’s bid to end her long-standing conservatorship revved up in the courts.
Jamie Lynn broke her silence on the matter in an emotional Instagram video published in June 2021, where she stated that she wanted nothing but ‘happiness’ for her sister and that she always has and ‘always will’ support her.
The Zoey 101 star insisted that she’d made a ‘very conscious choice’ to ‘only participate’ in the singer’s life as her sister – and that she was not on Britney’s payroll as fans had previously accused her of being.
