Sam Asghari was taken aback when he learned about Britney Spears’ conservatorship at the beginning of their relationship. In a recent episode of Kate and Oliver Hudson’s “Sibling Revelry” podcast, Asghari expressed his shock at the idea of someone not having their basic human rights in America. As an immigrant from Iran, he admitted to being unfamiliar with the American legal system but was surprised to discover Spears’ lack of freedom.
The couple, who began dating in 2016 after meeting on the set of Spears’ “Slumber Party” music video, faced challenges due to the conservatorship placed on the pop star by her father, Jamie Spears, in 2008. Asghari found it difficult to comprehend the restrictions imposed on Spears as an adult.
Reflecting on the situation, Asghari acknowledged that navigating the role of family and loved ones in the entertainment industry can be challenging. He emphasized the importance of providing support to those closest to you and being cautious about the individuals allowed into your inner circle.
Despite the difficulties, Asghari remained by Spears’ side during her legal battle, providing her with information and resources to navigate the situation. Their relationship endured ups and downs, leading to a marriage in June 2022 and eventual divorce in May 2024. Asghari described their time together as a learning experience and expressed gratitude for the memories they shared.
