Sam Asghari wanted a prenup before marrying Britney Spears
The 31-year-old actor and Britney, 43, were married between 2022 and 2024, but Sam urged his former spouse to agree a prenup so that she would be financially "protected".
Sam - who ultimately signed a prenup before tying the knot - said on the 'Trading Secrets' podcast: "I wanted her to have a prenup.
"I wanted to make sure she's protected, because throughout her life, everybody — I don't know one person that's ever been in her life that didn't take advantage of her. So it's very sad. I wanted to make sure that I'm the person that [didn't] do that."
Sam also rubbished the suggestion that he tried to take advantage of Britney's fame and success.
Sam - who met Britney on the set of her 'Slumber Party' music video back in 2016 - said: "I never get mad at the general public or fans or people that are seeing your life from a distance, especially now that I'm not in a relationship for over two years or a year and something.
"Looking from an outside perspective, I see there's an age difference, there's a fame difference, there's this, there's that. But realistically, we met as costars."
Despite this, Sam insists he's not worried about the opinions of fans.
He explained: "It's all for me. So it's not really focused on the fans or whoever … My career is always going to be, I'm always going to do things that's going to benefit the fans and people that are watching me. And I want to be a good example. But at the same time, it's because that makes me feel better."
Sam actually rejected a lot of lucrative career opportunities because he wanted to protect Britney and their relationship.
The actor explained: "I turned down a few modelling things back then.
"It was because it was associated with women and I wanted to be respectful. It was a very sensitive time and a very sensitive situation I was dealing with. So I wanted to be very successful and things like that. So that was at that time. Now, it's different."

Britney Spears sparks concern with video dancing in messy house
Britney Spears has sparked concern from fans after showing her messy house on social media. The Toxic hitmaker, 43, has shared another video of herself dancing in her home, but some fans noticed what appeared to be dog poo on the floor behind her, along with other clutter. In the video shared on Monday (18.08.25), she can be heard since her own version of Prince song Kiss as she dances in her pyjamas, which were made up for a brown polka dot bralette and mini white shorts. A puppy can be seen in the background, and at one point she sings: "I don't know who I am, oh, oh." In the caption, she quipped: 'I would say, Julia Roberts singing Prince's 'Kiss' off key a touch, but I sounded really good behind the lens lol!!! "PSS Wise a**es, I do know who I am !!! "I have eight different languages written on my neck... these are my pjs, but I put these boots on to play with lighting ... not the most elegant look but hey!!! (sic)" In another video, Britney revealed she was in the middle of cleaning her house but took a quick break. She wrote: "Messing around with lighting and cleaning my house like no tomorrow,' the star wrote in the caption." Some people are concerned by the video, which had comments disabled but was shared by a fan on X. Echoing another user, a fan asked: "Is that dog poop on the floor?!" In the comments on TMZ, one reader simply wrote: "Poor thing." Another person suggested she "needs help", while a third said: "You can't help but feel sorry for her." In June, Britney's Instagram account - which has become her sole method of communicating with fans after the conservatorship that had been governed by her immediate family was terminated in November 2021 - was deactivated after a rant about two of her former partners. Days earlier, the Oops! I Did It Again singer posted a scathing attack on two of the men she dated in the past. Britney was initially married to childhood friend Jason Alexander for a period of 55 hours in 2004 and was then married to Kevin Federline from 2004 until 2007 but was then married to Sam Asghari from 2022 until 2024. Without naming anyone, she wrote: "I dated two f****** complete a**holes. 'I realized I loved their dogs more than them and I think it's because their dogs bowed to me every time I entered the room!!!" The Baby One More Time hitmaker - who has sons Sean, 19, and Jayden, 18, with her second husband - did not name either of the men in question but branded them as "cruel humans" who failed to "acknowledge" her during their time together. She added: "Now the guys were of course cruel humans that never even acknowledged and never held my hand in the car for 6 years !!! I choose animals over people anyday !!! "I'm so turned off by humanity and the way people have literally … I have no words !!!"

Sam Fender to start work on new album latest this year
Sam Fender is planning to hit the studio to work on a new album once he wraps his current run of shows. During his headline set at Manchester's Wythenshawe Park on Saturday (16.08.25), the Hypersonic Missiles rocker told the crowd that once he's done with his last show of 2025, which, as it stands, is in Perth, Australia on November 28, he will busy himself with making new music and getting his voice the best shape possible after suffering a vocal cord haemorrhage this summer. He told the crowd: 'I'm gonna go away at the end of this lot of shows and sort my s*** out and get my voice as good as possible and make another album and f*** loads of new tunes next year. 'I wanna make it the greatest time ever.' Sam was forced to pull out of several European festival dates after suffering the haemorrhage. The 31-year-old rocker went to see his ears, nose and throat doctor (ENT) after struggling during his headline set at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in July. He was then advised not to sing for two weeks to prevent 'lasting damage to [his] vocal cords'. In a statement shared on Instagram at the time, he said: "Hey everyone, at the beginning of the week I got my voice checked by my ENT doctor and the cords were slightly swollen. 'After a few days rest I was advised by my team that I was okay to perform. On stage at Silverstone I could feel that things were a lot harder than usual, I felt I needed to push a lot harder to sing – this is never a good sign. 'I've just been checked by my ENT again today, as I was concerned about it, and it's transpired that I've had a haemorrhage on one of my vocal cords. 'I've been advised to be on vocal restriction and to not sing for the next 14 days. 'If I were to play at these next shows I would risk causing lasting damage to my vocal cords. This means I cannot perform at the upcoming Rock Werchter, Down the Rabbit Hole, NOS Alive, and Montreux Jazz Festivals. 'I'm so sorry to everyone who is coming to those festivals with our show in mind. Our fans are the most important thing to us, I hate letting people down and I hate not being able to sing for weeks as it is my only real passion in life.' The star was forced to cancel a number of gigs on his 2024 tour after suffering a similar injury to his vocal cords. Sam has been on a stadium tour this summer in support of his third studio album People Watching which included dates at the London Stadium and St James' Park, the home of his beloved Premier League team Newcastle United FC.

Sam Asghari scathingly brands Kevin Federline a ‘professional father‘
Sam Asghari has scathingly branded Kevin Federline a 'professional father'. The model, 31, made the biting remark about his former wife Britney Spears' ex, who has two children with the pop star, when asked for his thoughts on the release of DJ Kevin's forthcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew. In a video shared by TMZ, Sam says when asked about the autobiography, which promises to delve into Federline's marriage to Britney and his experiences as a dad: 'Well, he was a professional father.' Sam added: 'It would be the first book that'll tell you how to be a professional father.' The remark was made while Asghari was leaving The Abbey, a popular venue in West Hollywood. Kevin, 47, who was married to Britney, 43, from 2004 to 2007, announced earlier this month his memoir was on its way. He describes the book as 'extremely intimate and transparent,' aiming to provide insight into his rise to fame, the challenges of fatherhood and the emotional toll of public life. In a press release, Kevin stated: 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak, and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced nonstop emotional turbulence.' The memoir is set for release on October 21, 2025. Kevin has two sons with Spears: Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James, 18. Following his divorce from Britney, the former back-up dancer gained custody of the children and received $20,000 per month in child support until they turned 18. He later remarried, to Victoria Prince, with whom he has two daughters, Jordan Kay, 12, and Peyton Marie, nine. Kevin also has two older children, Kori Madison, 21, and Kaleb Michael Jackson, 19, from his previous relationship with actress Shar Jackson. Sam and Britney met while filming the music video for her 2016 hit Slumber Party, and began dating shortly after. They got engaged in 2021 and married in June 2022. But their marriage ended in divorce in 2024 following a miscarriage in 2022. Sam is currently in a relationship with realtor Brooke Irvine. Despite their separation, Asghari has expressed support for Spears. In January, he told Page Six: 'I think that the number one factor of a partner is to be there for one another, no matter what.'
