However, this image of Ghalib was tainted when she learned that he was married.

Spears confessed in the memoirthat she was Ghalib’s mistress during their time dating.

However, she was only made aware of this once they’d already broken up.

His wife, Azlynn Berry, eventually filed for divorce in January 2008, citing irreconcilable differences.

In March of that same year, a judge granted Spears a restraining order against Adnan Ghalib.

The orders were effective until 2012, though Ghalid’s legal problems didn’t stop there.
