His stalking charge is reportedly not connected with Spears, whose wedding to Sam Asghari he crashed in 2022 when he demanded to see her while brandishing a knife.
Alexander was married to the pop icon for 55 hours in 2004. Following the shocking altercation at Spears' home, the singer was granted a three-year restraining order against him.

Jason Alexander Arrested For Stalking
According to TMZ, Spears' ex-husband, Alexander, was arrested on charges of stalking, although it is unlikely Spears is the party on the receiving end.
Alexander was arrested and reprimanded in a Tennessee jail on Wednesday, and it remains unclear if he has been issued a bail amount or court date in connection with the charge.
The details surrounding the arrest have been closely guarded, with authorities remaining tight-lipped about the other parties involved in the incident that led to the charges. However, Spears uploaded a video of herself dancing in her southern California home, indicating she's unlikely connected to the incident.
Jason Alexander Was Previously Arrested For Crashing Britney Spears' Wedding
Authorities previously apprehended Alexander after crashing the private wedding ceremony of Spears and her partner, Sam Asghari, in 2022. Before his arrest, Alexander had gone live on Instagram, noting that Spears invited him to the event and that he was going to crash the party.
According to reports, the private wedding ceremony, which took place in Spears' home, was abruptly interrupted when Alexander, who wasn't on her guest list, barged into the event uninvited, demanding to see her with a knife.
Days later, he was charged with a stalking felony, misdemeanor counts of trespassing and refusing to leave private property, vandalism, and battery, per People. He pleaded not guilty to all charges at the time.
Later in August 2022, Alexander faced justice in court after being found guilty of trespass and battery charges stemming from the wedding crashing incident.
Spears and Richard Eubeler, the security guard who confronted him when he attempted to crash Spears' wedding, were granted a three-year restraining order against Alexander.
Why Jason Alexander Attempted To Crash Britney Spears' Wedding
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Alexander noted that the reason he crashed Spears' wedding to Asghari was because he didn't believe she was truly getting married and wanted to see it with his eyes.
"I couldn't let her get married with the conversations we've had over the last two years," he said. "I wasn't there to cause harm. I was just there to Speak to Britney and make sure she was okay, and this is what she wanted."
According to the news outlet, he noted that he also feared the "Gimme More" singer was being forced to marry Asghari against her will, especially after spending the last 13 years under a conservatorship.
"It's all for show. A Hollywood script," Alexander said of the marriage. "I don't think she looks happy. That whole thing is not real."
Spears and Alexander got married at Las Vegas' Little White Chapel in 2004, but the marriage only lasted 55 hours before annulment.
Jason Alexander Recently Got Married
Following the legal proceedings and the shocking intrusion into Spears' life, Alexander has seemingly moved on with his own life. According to Page Six, reports emerged indicating that he recently tied the knot with a woman named Rebecca Bell.
According to the news outlet, marriage records show that Alexander and Bell obtained a marriage license before tying the knot on March 27th.
Alexander's life has been under scrutiny since the incident involving Spears' wedding and home intrusion. With the legal consequences of his actions now established, it seems that he has chosen to pursue a new chapter with his new partner.
Although married, he hasn't stopped posting about Spears, as he shared a photo of a 2010 tabloid article noting Spears' "cry for help" during her 13-year conservatorship, per Page Six.
"The perfect situation on the outside could be the most abusive on the inside," he captioned the post.
"How long does it take for someone to get out of abuse? It's not worth it. The money. The status. Pleasing people," he added, including the hashtags "#domesticviolence," "#love," and "#courage."
