Britney Spears’ ex-husband Sam Asghari is opening up about their past relationship.

As a guest on Kate and Oliver Hudson’s Sibling Rivalry podcast, the 30-year-old actor revealed the strangest aspect of his romance with the pop star, 43.

Asghari described the singer’s infamous decade-plus conservatorship a ‘weird’ thing to confront.

The Iran native recalled, ‘One day I start learning about what the conservatorship is, and that’s when I was like, “Wait a minute. I thought I’m in America. What do you mean someone over the age of 18 needs permission from their parents?”

‘That was the most difficult and weird spiral thing that I’ve witnessed in my life.’

Speaking on the podcast virtually, he said the ‘best thing’ he could do for his then-partner was provide support.

Sam and Britney dated for several years after meeting on the set of her Slumber Party music video. They tied the knot in June 2022

‘I think the best thing to do is to provide support in that moment and that’s what I did, I provided as much as I could,’ he explained.

‘This was my experience in life that I had to go through very gently because if you do anything wrong, you say the wrong thing…’ he reflected without going further.

Spears was in a conservatorship that lasted from 2008-2021, in which her dad Jamie Spears had total control over her everyday life and career. 

He reportedly gave her a measly weekly allowance, forced her to use birth control, and prevented her from making changes to her home, among a slew of other restrictions. 

Britney regained control of her multimillion-dollar fortune as well as her career and personal freedom when the guardianship was terminated in November 2021.

Her father has insisted the legal arrangement was to protect her wellbeing, but the singer described it as ‘abusive’ in a bombshell 2021 court appearance.
