Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Sam Asghari, speaks out after singer’s shocking claims
Britney Spears’ shocking claims prompted her ex-husband, Sam Asghari, to share his own side of the story in a response statement. His representative from BAC Talent told PEOPLE that their “marriage was very real” to him, contrary to the singer’s assertions from Monday. Spears took to Instagram and alleged that her and Asghari’s relationship “almost felt like a fake distraction” to her in a since-edited Instagram caption.
But the model’s statement maintained that he was in love with her and would always care for her. Discussing their marriage and their time together, he stated that although it was “short, but we were together for seven years.” Asghari further noted that he “was in love with [Spears]” and will always cherish her. He then added that he will always “wish her the best.” His reflection on their marriage came after her social media remarks.
Britney Spears made these comments about her ex-husband and their marriage while talking about the “hardest years of her life.” In the caption, which she has since removed, she had opened up about going through a difficult time when she was not in touch with her two sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston. She shares her kids with her former husband, Kevin Federline.
The “Criminal” hitmaker recalled that her “secret to survival was denial and a lot of tears,” adding that it was “weird.” After this, she revealed that she and Ashgari were together in their marriage at the time, alleging that “it almost felt like a fake distraction to help me deal with it.”
