While speaking to PEOPLE this past weekend, Asghari said it was a blessing to be able to share a life with Spears for a long time. The duo began dating in 2017 before getting married in June 2022. After 14 months, Spears and Asghari ended their marriage.
“People grow apart and people move on,” Sam Asghari explained about his marriage to Britney Spears. Instead of having any ill will towards his ex, Asghari said he prefers to celebrate the time they had together.
“I’ve always hated people leaving a certain relationship,” he continued. “And at some point they told each other they love each other and they sat at the same table and ate food [together] – so I never understood when people part ways [and] they talk badly about each other.”
Sam Asghari noted he is never going to talk badly about Britney Spears. “I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life,” he shared. “And that’s always going to be part of my life, a chapter of my life.”
TMZ previously reported that Sam Asghari told others he suspected Britney Spears had “hooked up with at least one of the male staff members” working at home. The media outlet revealed that Asghari “frequently complained” about Spears physically attacking him as well. The instances ultimately led to the couple’s split in Aug. 2023.
However, sources told Page Six there was no truth to the allegations made about Spears. But she did start seeing her former housekeeper, Paul Richard Soliz, at one point.

Meanwhile, Britney Spears reportedly called Sam Asghari pathetic for wanting to take her for everything while settling their divorce.
According to sources, Asghari believes he should be “compensated properly” for everything he allegedly went through with Spears during their seven-year relationship. He is referring to her outlandish behavior on social media as well as rumored mood swings.
“She feels Sam is playing the ‘Mr. Britney Spears’ card for everything it’s worth,” the insider revealed. “She finds it kind of pathetic.”
The insider also stated that the exact amount he wants is being kept confidential. “He’s not happy with what Britney and her team have proposed,” they continued. “There’s a lot of wrangling back and forth.”
“Things have become a lot more complicated than both of them had hoped it would be … Sam isn’t hurting for cash, but he’s willing to dig in and fight for the extra money he feels he deserves.”
