The former husband of Britney Spears, Sam Asghari, has given an insight into the reason for his divorce from the megastar.
Sam Asghari began dating Britney back in 2016, and eventually wed in a private ceremony in 2022 before calling it quits less than two years later, but have said to remain 'positive about each other.'
In a recent interview with People, the fitness instructor turned actor revealed that he's focusing on celebrating his time spent with the 'Toxic' singer, sharing:

"It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on."
29-year-old Asghari was the one to file the divorce just a year into married life, citing 'irreconcilable differences', a move which 'shocked' Britney, as she took to Instagram to share the news, writing: "6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I'm a little shocked but … I'm not here to explain why because its honestly nobody's business, but, I couldn't take the pain anymore honestly."
However in his most recent interview, Asghari looked back on his marriage with the singer as an 'amazing experience.'
“I've always hated people leaving a certain relationship — and at some point they told each other they love each other and they sat at the same table and ate food [together] — so I never understood when people part ways [and] they talk badly about each other,”
has “That's something I'm never going to do because I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life, and that's always going to be part of my life, a chapter of my life.” he told People.
The fitness instructor, who stayed by Britney's side throughout the fight to end her conservatorship last year, has said to be focusing on a 'healthy lifestyle' and furthering his career as he gears up for his 30th birthday this month.
“I used to think people that were 30 years old were so old when I was in high school. But for every person I talk to, the older they get, the more they get to enjoy life because with age comes wisdom and experiences,” he says. “And I think experiences in life are beautiful, so that's something that I'm just super excited to just be fulfilled with.”
He remains positive about his former relationship with the star, and has said he'll always look back at that time as a 'beautiful'.
“I always have the most positive mindset about life. My experiences in life have shaped me into the man I am today. I will continue growing. I come from a place where we celebrate our past,” he says. “I look back fondly. My past was a blessing and beautiful.”
