Dating speculation surrounding Sam Asghari has recently been sparked after he was spotted at a Los Angeles park with a blonde woman, approximately a year post-divorce from Britney Spears.
TMZ reports that the 30-year-old actor displayed signs of affection towards his companion, including a playful smack on the rear. Additionally, Asghari was seen with his hand on the woman’s back as they strolled together with the dog Britney had given him during their 2021 engagement.
Sam and Britney, who is now 42, had a relationship spanning several years after they met during the filming of her “Slumber Party” music video. They wed in June 2022, but by August 2023, divorce rumors emerged, and their separation was finalized in May of this year.
Sam Asghari has recently shared his career focus with Us Weekly, emphasizing his dedication to acting and producing. He humorously noted that his dog was the only “high-maintenance girl” in his life, joking about the responsibilities of caring for her. Asghari also mentioned that his sisters’ work ethic has motivated him to pursue his career goals with greater intensity.
Meanwhile, Britney Spears has been reportedly involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with Paul Soliz, whom she met while he was working as a maintenance worker at her home. Despite her recent romance, a July Instagram post (now deleted) revealed Britney’s contentment with single life and her declaration that she would not pursue another relationship.
In other news, a film adaptation of Britney Spears’s memoir, The Woman in Me, is currently in development at Universal. Jon Chu, renowned for directing Crazy Rich Asians and Wicked, will helm the project.
The memoir, published in October 2023, covers Britney’s rise as a pop sensation and the pressures she faced in the industry, including a controversial revelation about her relationship with Justin Timberlake and the pressure he placed on her regarding an unplanned pregnancy.
The memoir also explores her tumultuous relationship with her parents, Jamie and Lynn Spears, and their role in the conservatorship imposed on her in 2008 following her public breakdown. This legal arrangement, which led to the #FreeBritney movement, was finally terminated in November 2021 after advocacy from Britney, Asghari, and her supporters.
