Britney Spears Is Engaged! Get To Know Her Fiancé, Sam Asghari

Everyone deserves a happy ending in love, and it looks like Britney Spears is finally getting hers.

Britney Spears and her fiancé, Sam Asghari, took to Instagram last September 13 to announce the happy news, both of their posts showcase Britney’s beautiful engagement ring designed by New York-based designer Roman Malayev. The pop star, however, has since deleted her Instagram account to take some time away from social media.

The couple dated for around five years prior to their engagement. They met on the set of Britney’s “Slumber Party” music video in 2016.

Britney has been making headlines this year due to her 13-year conservatorship which her father, James “Jamie” Spears, has been in charge of for over a decade. For Britney, this legally binding contract has caused her to suffer in both her personal and professional lives.

Just Last June, she requested a judge to end this “abusive” conservatorship so she could get married and have more children. In September 7, her father filed a petition to end their conservatorship agreement. Days later, here is Britney now, hoping to a build a peaceful future together with actor Sam Asghari.

Curious about the man who won the pop icon’s heart? Here are some facts about Britney Spears’ fiancé, Sam Asghari.

Known for his fit body, Sam owns Asghari Fitness, a program offering its members personalized training and meal plans. In an interview with Forbes magazine,  he shares how he saw people were inspired by his passion for whole body health. Knowing this, he decided to do something to help others. Asghari Fitness currently  has more than 25 thousand Instagram followers; on the platform, there are updates on the members' progress as well as inspiring tips from the founder himself.

2. He played football in high school and college.

Staying active is something that has always been a part of him. Sam joined his high school’s football team and later on played for a football program for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Unfortunately, he was cut before his freshman year.

3. He is an actor.

You can see his acting chops in the rom-com Can You Keep a Secret? The fun and light movie is based on the novel of Sophie Kinsella and stars Alexandra Daddario.

At age 12, he moved to the US to live with his father, who worked as a truck driver and couldn’t speak a single English word when he arrived. “I actually left my family behind at the time because my family was still going through the FBI check and immigration process. I left three of my sisters behind, my mum behind. My dad was out here in America and I hadn’t seen him in about five years or so. It was definitely a culture shock, coming out here with a completely different language to speak,” this Iranian-American shared in an interview with Forbes magazine this year.

5. He is a model.

His sister was actually the one who convinced him to audition for a modeling gig. He has since modeled in runway shows and Super Bowl ads.
