    Sam Asghari wishes "the happiest" for Britney Spears

    The 31-year-old actor was married to Britney, 43, between 2022 and 2024, and Sam insists that he still has fond memories of their time together, in spite of their eventual break-up


    Sam - who is currently dating Los Angeles real estate agent Brooke Irvine - told Us Weekly: "I just hope the happiest for her. And like I said before that, I celebrate the past, and it's a big part of me, so I think everything should go well for her."

    Sam and Brooke went Instagram official in January, after first being spotted together in November 2024. And the actor admits that their relationship has been "amazing" so far.

    Earlier this year, Sam revealed that he wanted to sign a prenuptial agreement before marrying Britney.

    The actor urged his former spouse to agree a prenup so that she would be financially "protected".

    Sam - who ultimately signed a prenup before tying the knot - said on the Trading Secrets podcast: "I wanted her to have a prenup.

    "I wanted to make sure she's protected, because throughout her life, everybody - I don't know one person that's ever been in her life that didn't take advantage of her. So it's very sad. I wanted to make sure that I'm the person that [didn't] do that."

    Sam also rubbished the suggestion that he tried to take advantage of Britney's fame and success.

    The actor - who met Britney on the set of her Slumber Party music video back in 2016 - said: "I never get mad at the general public or fans or people that are seeing your life from a distance, especially now that I'm not in a relationship for over two years or a year and something.

    "Looking from an outside perspective, I see there's an age difference, there's a fame difference, there's this, there's that. But realistically, we met as co-stars."

    Despite this, Sam insists he's not worried about the opinions of fans.

    He explained: "It's all for me. So it's not really focused on the fans or whoever ... My career is always going to be, I'm always going to do things that's going to benefit the fans and people that are watching me. And I want to be a good example. But at the same time, it's because that makes me feel better."
