Sam Asghari is finally opening up about his short-lived marriage to Britney Spears, and his tone is strikingly calm amid renewed controversy surrounding the pop star’s personal life. Months after their divorce was finalized, the model and actor described his relationship with Spears as a “blessing,” choosing gratitude over criticism as public debate swirls again.
Asghari’s comments arrive in the wake of Kevin Federline’s newly released memoir, which has reignited online speculation and harsh commentary about Spears’ behavior and well-being. While the book has fueled heated reactions across social media, Asghari has taken a noticeably different approach, steering clear of judgment and instead reflecting positively on his time with the singer.
Looking back, Asghari said their relationship felt natural despite Spears’ global fame. He explained that her celebrity status never defined their connection, adding that he approaches relationships by allowing life to unfold as it will. According to him, falling in love and appreciating shared moments mattered more than labels or outcomes.
The pair met in 2016 while filming Spears’ Slumber Party music video and went on to marry in 2022. Their union, however, lasted just over a year. They separated in August 2023 and officially divorced in May 2024. Even so, Asghari said he chooses to focus on appreciation rather than regret, emphasizing that being thankful the relationship happened at all is healthier than dwelling on its end.
Asghari also addressed his decision to request a prenuptial agreement, clarifying that it was meant to protect Spears, not himself. He said he had seen too many people take advantage of her over the years and wanted to ensure he would never be counted among them. Calling the situation “sad,” he stressed that safeguarding her interests was a priority from the start.
He also shared a personal philosophy that guides how he speaks about past relationships, referencing a Persian proverb that equates sharing food with loyalty. For him, that bond makes it wrong to speak negatively about someone who once played an important role in his life.
Since the divorce, Asghari has moved on and is now dating Los Angeles real estate agent Brooke Irvine. Still, he made it clear that his time with Spears remains meaningful and formative. He said he genuinely wishes her happiness and hopes everything goes well for her moving forward.
The remarks mark one of Asghari’s most open reflections since the split, offering a rare and measured perspective as Britney Spears once again finds herself at the center of intense public scrutiny.
