Sam Asghari refuses to ‘talk bad’ about Britney Spears after divorce
Sam Asghari wants everyone to know that he has no intention of harming his estranged wife Britney Spears.
“I’ve always hated people who leave a relationship – and at some point they tell each other they love each other and sit at the same table and eat [together] – so I’ve never understood when people break up [and] they talk bad about each other,” Asghari, 29, revealed People in an interview published on Saturday, March 2. “That’s something I’m never going to do because I’ve had nothing but a great experience and a great life, and that will always be a part of my life, a chapter of my life. .”
The former trainer explained that when he looks back on his marriage to 42-year-old Spears, he thinks positively about it.
“I always have the most positive attitude about life,” he said. “My experiences in life have shaped me into the man I am today. I will continue to grow. I come from a place where we celebrate our past. I look back on it fondly. My past was a blessing and beautiful.”
It was love at first sight when Britney Spears and Sam Asghari met on the set of her ‘Slumber Party’ music video in October 2016, but the fairy tale does not have a happy ending. Spears was charmed while chatting with Asghari and the pair exchanged phone numbers and continued to get to know each other. […]
He added, “It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on.”
Asghari filed for divorce from Spears last August after fourteen months of marriage. The pair first met on the set of the singer’s “Slumber Party” music video in October 2016, where he played her love interest. Soon after, the pair had a whirlwind romance and went public as a couple in 2017. A few years later, as her conservatorship ended and Spears took control of her own life, Asghari proposed in September 2021 and they married in June. 9, 2022.
With their divorce still pending, Asghari is reportedly asking for spousal support. However, a source told Us in July 2022 that he and Spears signed an ironclad prenuptial agreement that tightly guards Spears’ estimated $60 million fortune ahead of their wedding. The insider also noted that the singer “found it overwhelming discussing the finer points, like how much Sam would walk away with.”
The legal document states that Asghari will receive “$1 million every two years” from their marriage, with a maximum of $10 million after 15 years, the insider said. Asghari also waived any claims to Spears’ extensive music catalog. Despite details seemingly being worked out before their split, Asghari has reportedly tried to amend their agreement.
In a January cover story, insiders exclusively told Us that Spears was unhappy that her estranged husband was still dragging out the legal process. “Sam believes he should be properly compensated for everything he went through with Britney,” a source said at the time. “The exact amount he wants is being kept secret, but he is not happy with what Britney and her team have proposed.”
“Britney is in no mood to be pushed or rushed into handing another big check to Sam,” the insider added, stressing that Spears is committed to staying true to the terms set forth in the prenup. “She wants to stick to the letter of the paperwork and believes this is the only thing he is entitled to, period.”
Asghari was Spears’ third husband. She previously married childhood friend Jason Alexander in a ceremony in Las Vegas in January 2004, which was annulled 55 hours later. She was later married to Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two sons, from September 2004 to July 2007.
