Sam Asghari, former husband to global pop sensation Britney Spears, has been wearing a proud smile as he responds to the touching mentions of him in her recently released bestselling memoir, “The Woman in Me.”
In a brief encounter with a paparazzo on a Wednesday afternoon, the “Family Business” actor expressed his joy at being acknowledged in Spears’ memoir, sharing, “That made me smile, to be honest. I’m incredibly proud of her, and I hope she takes over the world.”
Britney Spears, at 41 years old, had completed her memoir before Asghari, who is 29, filed for divorce in August, marking the end of their 14-month marriage. Notably, Asghari’s divorce announcement came after the memoir had been finalized, meaning no post-separation edits were made to include the subsequent developments in their relationship.
Spears’ memoir is filled with endearing sentiments about Asghari, describing him as a “gift from God.” She commends his stability and the fact that he abstains from alcohol.
Within the pages of the memoir, readers gain insights into the couple’s romantic journey that began on the set of Spears’ “Slumber Party” music video in October 2016. Spears candidly shares how she was “instantly smitten” with the handsome Iranian and how their initial chemistry was nothing short of electric.
While their fairy-tale wedding in June 2022 marked the culmination of their nearly six-year relationship, their separation in the summer of the same year was marred by allegations of infidelity, claims that sources close to Spears vehemently denied.
During their initial separation, reports circulated suggesting that Asghari was contemplating revealing sensitive information about his ex-wife in a bid to renegotiate their prenuptial agreement. However, Asghari later refuted these claims, assuring that he had always been a supportive presence in Spears’ life and harbored no negative intentions toward her.
As the world gets a glimpse of their complex journey through Spears’ memoir, Sam Asghari’s candid response underscores the importance of empathy and support, even in the face of challenges and changes in a high-profile relationship.
