Britney Spears’ ex Sam Asghari takes brutal swipe at their marriage as he makes red carpet debut with girlfriend

Britney Spears’ ex-husband Sam Asghari took a swipe at his relationship with the pop princess.

He called their union ‘Hollywood,’ while also saying his four month long relationship with Brooke Irvine was ‘all about love,’ as the pair made their red carpet debut at the grand opening weekend of The Tryst H๏τel.

‘It’s all about love. That’s what it is,’ Asghari, 31, told Us Weekly on April 25, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

‘It’s not about the industry, it’s not about Hollywood,’ he continued of his new relationship with the Los Angeles-based real estate agent. 

‘It’s about what really is the most important thing, and that’s being present, being in the moment and supporting others that are doing this same thing.’

Sam was with the I Did It Again singer, 43, from 2016 to 2023.

‘It wasn’t, “Now is the time,” or whatever, but we’re here to support a great cause,’ he said. 

‘Love is not about gender, not about race, not about anything. Love doesn’t understand any of those things, so that’s why I’m always going to be an ally of this [LGBTQ+] community — because they help me believe that and understand that. That’s what’s really great about this community.’

In February, Sam said he felt ‘afraid’ during Britney’s conservatorship. 

However, Asghari shocked fans — and Spears herself — by filing for divorce 14 months after they finally tied the knot.

He opened up about his seven-year romance with Spears during an episode of The Viall Files, calling it a ‘big part’ of his life.

As for Spears’ conservatorship, which was terminated in November 2021 after 12 years, Asghari admitted to host Nick Viall that it was ‘strange’ for him to ‘deal with.’

Spears was involuntarily placed under a conservatorship by a judge back in 2008 and her father Jamie Spears controlled her estate for its entirety.

Asghari said he learned of Britney’s unique legal situation right when they started dating in 2016 — but not from the pop star herself.

‘That was very strange for me to deal with. I got hit with that at the beginning [of his relationship with Spears],’ he told Viall.

When asked by Viall if Britney ‘explained it’ to him, Asghari said that it was someone on Britney’s team who made him aware.

‘She didn’t explain. Somebody called me and said, ‘Oh, just so you know, this is this and make sure you’re obeying by our rules and stuff like that,” he claimed.

Asghari, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at age 12, said he initially feared that Britney was being ‘suppressed’ and ‘controlled.’

‘I’m coming from a country where I dealt with this already. I dealt with women being suppressed and being controlled by men their whole life,’ he explained.

‘So I was like, ‘Ok, this is weird but, wait a minute, this is America. Something doesn’t make sense.”

After the phone call with the unnamed member of Britney’s team, Asghari said he didn’t run to tell the singer right away.

‘I really tried to understand it. I tried to understand why [the conservatorship] was ever in place to begin with,’ he told Viall.

Asghari appeared to suggest that he had little power in changing the situation as the singer’s boyfriend.

‘You really don’t have much to say especially if you’re just a boyfriend or someone that’s just there [in her life].’

He also admitted that he was ‘afraid’ of losing Britney if he tried to rock the boat.

‘I was afraid they were gonna maybe make me not see her and things like that,’ he said.

Instead, Asghari tried his best to be a support system for Britney, telling Viall: ‘You have to be gentle and provide support as much as you can.’
