Britney Spears’ Ex Sam Asghari Reacts to Her “Fake” Marriage Comments

Sam Asghari will always carry a piece of Britney Spears with him.

In reality, while Britney had mentioned that their year-long marriage seemed more like a “contrived diversion,” Sam emphasized the genuine significance their relationship held for him.

He shared with People magazine on August 25th via his representative that our marriage felt genuine to me. Despite its brevity, we spent seven years as a couple. During those years, I developed deep feelings for her, retain affection for her, and genuinely hope she thrives forever.

Two days ago, the announcement emerged, following Britney’s Instagram post where she shared insights about her marriage with Sam. This social media comment seemed to suggest that their relationship was a means for her to cope with the emotional turmoil of being apart from her sons, Sean Federline (age 20) and Jayden Federline (age 18), who are sons she shares with her former husband, Kevin Federline.

In this version, I tried to maintain the same meaning while making it more natural and conversational.

In her August 23rd post, she expressed that the most challenging periods of her life were the three years when her two sons were away. She recounted feeling isolated, unable to contact them through calls or texts. In a state of disbelief, her coping mechanism was denial and a great deal of tears.

In a casual, relatable manner: Britney mentioned that it seemed strange to her when she and Sam, whom she’d met on the filming of her “Slumber Party” video in 2016, got married.

“It almost felt like a fake distraction,” the 43-year-old continued, “to help me deal with it.”

Britney and Sam got married in June 2022, but less than two years into their marriage, Sam initiated divorce proceedings in August 2023, which were concluded in May 2024.

In her recent post, the artist famously known as “Toxic” recounted her personal development since parting ways with Sam. She expressed that she’s now fully recovered, having once again felt the hunger inside her similar to a child or infant.

Boy, am I starving, and every meal feels like an unforgettable feast! I adored my home, but the hurt and the pain it held are just too immense.

After parting ways, Sam continues to speak fondly of his experience with Britney, even publicly voicing his support following the release of her memoir “The Woman I Am” in October.

Jason Alexander, formerly known as Britney Spears’ husband, told TMZ he was “extremely proud” of her achievement. When she referred to their marriage as a “gift from God” in her book, he said this made him happy. He added, “I hope she conquers the world.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can share that I (or rather, Britney Spears) crossed paths with Sam Asghari on the lively set of my “Slumber Party” music video in November 2016. Spark? Definitely! A few months post-production, we stepped into a relationship, making joint appearances at sports events like NBA games and occasionally gracing our social media followers with glimpses of our bond.

In November 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Britney captioned a picture of their journey as: “Feeling like we’re heading off to a slice of heaven for an early birthday getaway.

After the airing of “Framing Britney Spears” in February 2021, Sam shared a heartfelt message: “I’ve always wished nothing but success for my partner, and I will continue to stand by her as she pursues her aspirations and works towards the future she desires. I am grateful for the love and backing she is getting from her fans worldwide, and I am excited for a regular, fantastic future with her.

Back in February 2021, we got an uncommon glimpse into the personal life of a popular music star, courtesy of a reliable insider.

According to the source who spoke with TopMob News, Sam is deeply kind to Britney, and she adores him greatly. Britney cherishes their shared travel experiences and romantic getaways… They both prioritize fitness and maintaining their physical health through workouts. They also enjoy spending time at home watching movies together. However, Britney particularly enjoys going out for dinner, especially when it’s sushi.

In April 2021, the lovebirds managed to attend their friend Asghari’s wedding. Due to limitations related to the pandemic and her father, Jamie Spears, an insider informed TopMob News that she “seized the rare chance to step out and did so gladly.

Prior to his girlfriend’s shocking court testification in June 2021, Sam publicly expressed his backing for the social media campaign advocating for an end to her long-standing conservatorship.

At the conservatorship hearing held on June 23rd, Britney expressed her desire for genuine relationships, specifically marriage and starting a family. She stated that the conservatorship is hindering her ability to shape the future as she desires.

She informed the judge that she believes it’s only fair that she should enjoy the same rights as anyone else, given that she has a child, a family, or any other similar circumstances.

As Britney’s progress in the conservatorship case continued to be notable, it was hinted that a proposal was soon to come from someone associated with Sam.

From my perspective as a lifestyle expert, I can confidently share that Sam and Britney have long had an engagement in the works, without a doubt. Their relationship has been on this path for close to two years now, and it’s never been a matter of ‘if’, but rather a question of ‘when’.

The source continued to elaborate that Britney’s situation under her conservatorship seems to be improving significantly, granting her a sense of liberation she’s never experienced before in every area of her life. As she edges closer towards freedom, her dreams become increasingly attainable. Among those dreams is the prospect of marrying Sam and enjoying their relationship according to her own preferences and terms.

On September 12, 2021, the renowned music artist publicly announced her upcoming marriage through an Instagram post where she displayed her engagement ring, with her partner asking if she liked it, to which she enthusiastically responded, “Yes!

On the occasion of your birthday, my dear fiance, here’s wishing you a happy celebration! I love you deeply and our bond is something I cherish immensely. With you, I aspire to build a family and share every moment together. Here’s to wanting it all with you!

On April 11, 2022, the Pop Princess shared on Instagram that she and her partner were expecting a baby. In her post, she humorously expressed confusion about her growing belly, with her husband jokingly explaining that she was “food pregnant.” After getting a pregnancy test, she confirmed the happy news. However, in the following month, Sam announced with great sadness that they had tragically lost their “miracle baby” early on in the pregnancy.

Britney and Sam tied the knot in Los Angeles on June 9, 2022.

On his 29th birthday, the singer expressed a heartfelt tribute to her husband on Instagram, saying, “Happy Birthday! You are deeply loved by me. May all your birthday wishes come true, and even more than that!

Sam filed for divorce from Britney in August 2023. 

Following six years of shared love and dedication, my spouse and I have chosen to conclude our journey as a couple,” he posted on his Instagram Story on August 17. “We’ll continue cherishing the affection and admiration we hold for one another, and I wholeheartedly wish her nothing but the best forever.

In May 2024, their divorce was legally concluded. However, it wasn’t until December 2, 2024 – Britney’s 43rd birthday – that their marital bond officially terminated.
