Where is Jason Alexander now? Britney Spears got married to 55-hour husband as she was 'very drunk and bored'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During the course of her decades-long musical journey, Britney Spears has been married three times!
Once to her one-time costar for a music video, Sam Asghari, from whom she is currently divorcing; once to Kevin Federline, the father of her two sons; and once to her childhood friend Jason Alexander for a mere 55 hours.
It goes without saying that the marriage was dissolved before the songstress and Alexander went their separate ways. Spears disclosed in her eagerly awaited memoir, 'The Woman in Me,' that she and Alexander decided to tie the knot in 2004 during a wild evening in Las Vegas.
Alexander has now married Rebecca Bell while obtaining a marriage license before their actual wedding on March 27, 2023, as per Page Six.
Britney Spears married Jason Alexander as she was 'drunk' and 'bored'
Spears recounts how her marriage to Alexander started—and ended abruptly—during a 2004 New Year's trip to Las Vegas in a copy of her highly anticipated memoir, obtained by TIME, ahead of its October 24 release.
She adds that she and Alexander ended up enjoying the night together after spending a few days partying with a group of friends, including Paris Hilton.
Remembering the wild night, Spears writes, "He and I got sh*tfaced."
"I don't even remember that night at all, but from what I've pieced together, he and I lounged around the hotel room and stayed up late watching movies—Mona Lisa Smile and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre—then had the brilliant idea of going to A Little White Chapel at three thirty in the morning."

The 41-year-old Grammy winner further stated that she and Alexander got married because she was "drunk and bored."
She further writes: "People have asked me if I loved him. To be clear: he and I were not in love. I was just honestly very drunk—and probably, in a more general sense at that time in my life, very bored."
Britney Spears' family 'made way too big a deal out of innocent fun'
The Princess of Pop said that she didn't treat their marriage "seriously" early on, but her family did, and they made sure she knew how unhappy they were to learn of their wedding.
Spears claims that her family angrily confronted her about her actions the next day, and she ultimately had the marriage annulled in just 55 hours.
"They made way too big a deal out of innocent fun," Spears recounts in her memoir.
"Everybody has a different perspective on it, but I didn’t take it that seriously. I thought a goof-around Vegas wedding was something people might do as a joke."
Spears recalls the event as one of the first instances when she became aware of how much her family desired to control her life.
The 'Toxic' singer writes: "I realized: something about me being under their control and not having a stronger connection to someone else had become very, very important to them."
A little more than four years later, Spears was put under a conservatorship, giving her father Jamie Spears and an attorney authority over her assets and several aspects of her personal life.
Following the legal termination of pop singer's conservatorship, and over two decades after their shotgun wedding, Alexander attempted to disrupt Spears and Asghari's 2022 wedding ceremony via live-streaming on Instagram.
What did Jason Alexander say about the 55-hour marriage?
In a 2012 interview with ABC News, Alexander shared his account of the events surrounding his impromptu marriage to the 'Stronger' hitmaker. He said that Spears took him to Vegas on her private aircraft, and he refuted the idea that it was a "booty call."
Alexander, who was detained in August on charges of stalking, further stated that after they "were doing drugs" together, Spears had the brilliant idea to tie the knot. Alexander asserted that he was only driven by love, despite the 'Toxic' singer's denial of any deep affection for him.
He went on to say that he signed the annulment papers merely out of hope that they would reconcile. He remarked, "I went with my feelings. I was in love with her. … I feel like she felt the same way."
