Sam Asghari has reflected on his relationship with pop royalty Britney Spears months on from their divorce. Britney, 43, and Sam, 30, began dating back in 2016 after meeting on the set of Britney's music video for her track Slumber Party. Sam proposed in September 2021 after five years together, and they went on to tie the knot on June 4, 2022, in a glitzy ceremony in Los Angeles.
Sam rarely speaks about his time with Britney or their split, but opened up while on the Sibling Revelry podcast with Oliver and Kate Hudson. “Divorce, separation, break-ups suck for anybody. Of course it’s going to suck but I had the mindset of ‘I will never be sad that it’s over, I’m always going to be grateful and happy that it ever even happened,’” he shared.
Sam then added that he had no regrets about how things ended, saying: “If you do everything with honour, respect and you think twice before you do anything, nothing could ever go wrong and nothing could ever be a bad thing. “If it doesn’t work out, if things end and things happen that you didn’t want to happen, you just have to take a moment and appreciate that it ever even happened. You can’t sit there and dwell and be sad.”.
The Traitors US star did say later in his interview that not everything was easy, particularly dealing with the conservatorship Britney was in from 2008 to 2021, controlled by her dad Jamie Spears. “Everything was going really well until one day I started learning about what the conservatorship is. I thought, ‘I’m in America, what do you mean someone doesn’t have basic human rights and that someone over the age of 18 needs permission from their parents,’” he said.
