The wife of Britney Spears' paparazzo pal has filed for legal separation from him.
Azlynn Elizabeth Berry cites irreconcilable differences with Adnan
Ghalib for the split after four years of marriage, according to
documents filed Friday in Superior Court.
Berry, representing herself in court papers, seeks spousal support,
and for Ghalib to pay her legal fees, the filing said. Her phone number
wasn't listed.
In recent weeks, Ghalib has been seen accompanying Spears on
shopping excursions, restaurant outings and trips to the courthouse in
her custody case with ex-husband Kevin Federline. Ghalib is said to
work for the photo agency FinalPixx. An after-hours call to the agency
wasn't answered Tuesday.
Ghalib told the syndicated television magazine show "The Insider" on
Tuesday that he had photographed Spears for several years before they
grew closer in late December. He said their relationship blossomed
after Spears was released from a hospital following a standoff in her
home when she refused to return her two sons to Federline's bodyguard.
"We managed to spend a long time together, away from the media," Ghalib said.
In another interview with the TV show "Entertainment Tonight,"
Ghalib denied accusations that he was profiting from his relationship
with the 26-year-old pop star.
"A lot of people perceive to know or understand her, she's the most
photographed woman in the world," Ghalib said. "But if you take time to
scratch the surface, then you can understand how amazing she is."
