Stronger together! Then it was love at first sight Britney Spears And Sam Asghari met in October 2016 on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video.
“I was excited that I [would] meet one of the greatest artists of all time,” the personal trainer recalled Men’s health in July 2018. “I had butterflies.”
But when Asghari tried to break the ice, he almost ruined his chances with the Grammy winner. “She said, ‘Hello, I’m Britney,’ and I said, ‘I’m sorry, what’s your name again?'” he told the magazine. “I tried to be funny. I don’t think anyone understood.”

Since then, Asghari has been a huge support system for Spears in her personal and professional life. During her he was a fixture in the audience Part of me residency in Las Vegas and helped her come out stronger than yesterday (pun intended) after spending 30 days in a mental health facility in the spring of 2019.
