Britney Spears’ ex Sam Asghari tries on an LA Lakers ring while watching the home team beat the Utah Jazz at Crypto.com Arena
Hesam “Sam” Asghari, Britney Spears’ third husband, was among the celebrities attending Tuesday’s basketball game between the LA Lakers and the Utah Jazz at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA.
The Iranian 29-year-old dressed his fit 6ft 3in figure in a black midi-sleeved jumper, matching trousers and dress shoes as he made his way into the 20km-seater stadium.
Sam – who became a US citizen in 2012 – showed a peace sign and his shiny Hollywood smile to the photographers.
Once safely inside, Asghari connected with Riley Buss-Drexel, the creative director of the LA Lakers Pride Night, leading him to his seat.
Buss-Drexel even let the Special Ops: Lioness guest star try on a flashy gold LA Lakers pinky ring, which he modeled before gushing, “Thanks for everything!”

It’s hard to believe that Sam was a member of the ‘chunky boy friendzoned club’ and lost more than 100 pounds after becoming “very nearly obese” in his late teens.
In April, Asghari played a mysterious role on the Atlanta set of Paul Feig’s action comedy Grand Death Lotto — which premieres on Amazon next year — starring Awkwafina, John Cena, Simu Liu, Seann William Scott and Michael Hitchcock.
“It is an honor and an absolute pleasure to be part of this amazing cast,” the Hot Seat actor – who has 2.9 million social media followers – said wrote at the time.
‘Directed by the Uber-talented @paulfeig. A big shoutout to my amazing team who have always worked so hard for me!’
Sam previously scored small acting gigs on Hulu’s Dollface, Showtime’s Black Monday, HBO Max hit Hacks and CBS’ NCIS.
On a personal level, Asghari filed for divorce from the 41-year-old Grammy winner in August after just 14 months of marriage, and he did sign a prenuptial agreement.
The former fitness trainer originally started dating Britney shortly after October 2016, when she cast him as her love interest in her Slumber Party music video.
“I appreciate how stable he is,” Spears wrote of Sam in her memoir The Woman In Me.

‘I love that he doesn’t drink. He is a gift from God.”
On October 26, Asghari said TMZ from the semi-retired pop star’s tell-all: ‘That made me smile, to be honest. I am extremely proud of her. I hope she takes over the world.’
Pop star Becky G also watched the Lakers beat the Utah Jazz 131-99, who brought along a friend.
The 26-year-old Inglewood resident beamed as she held up her No. 3 custom jersey as she posed with the Laker Girls.
“Alright Laker familia, dreams come true!” Becky (born Rebbeca Gomez) gushed via Instastory.
“I saw my song performed at tonight’s game and I also saw our jerseys in real life! Thank you very much Lakers! Thank you very much, here we go! Besos.’
