Sam Asghari has broken his silence to address the recent claims made by his ex-wife, Britney Spears, regarding their marriage. The former couple, who were together for seven years and married for two, finalized their divorce on May 2, 2024. Through a representative speaking to PEOPLE, Asghari offered a contrasting perspective to Spears’ characterization of their relationship, stating, “Our marriage was very real to me.”
In his first public statement since the divorce, Asghari expressed his continued care for the pop star. He shared, “I was in love with her, will always have love for her, and wish her the best always.” This response comes directly after Britney made startling claims on social media, calling their two-year marriage “the hardest years of my life” and describing it as feeling like a “fake distraction” from her ongoing personal struggles.
Britney’s comments connected the difficulties in her marriage to the profound pain of being estranged from her two teenage sons for a period of three years, a time she described as being marked by shock, denial, and tears. Her statements painted a picture of a deeply challenging chapter in her life, with her relationship to Asghari being part of that struggle.
Notably, the divorce settlement did not include spousal support payments from Britney to Sam. The contrasting narratives from both parties highlight the deeply personal and often divergent experiences within a relationship, even one that played out extensively in the public eye.
