Childhood and Youth

Sam Asghari (born Hesam Asghari) was born on March 23, 1994, into a large Iranian family. He grew up with three sisters. According to Sam, money was always tight, and his father eventually left for work in the USA. Years later, when Sam was a teenager, his father brought the family to sunny California.

The transition was tough since Sam only spoke Farsi and had just basic English skills. Fortunately, being young and surrounded by English speakers helped him quickly pick up the language and adapt to American life.

From a young age, Sam dreamed of joining a gym and building his dream physique.

In 2016, Sam landed the cover of popular magazine Muscle&Fitness, later admitting he couldn't even dream of such success. He'd originally planned to become a police officer and saw modeling as just a hobby and way to build confidence, but the world of show business quickly captured him.

These days, Asghari only has eyes for one woman - Britney Spears. The singer and fitness instructor first met in 2016 during rehearsals for Britney's "Slumber Party" music video. Sam later revealed they chatted for about 20 minutes, and he found Spears incredibly kind and charming. It turned out that they had common interests, including their love of sushi. When he discovered this, Sam suggested they grab dinner together and gave her his number.

A little while later, Britney called him. They met, and from that moment, their relationship began. Initially, the couple kept things private, but eventually Britney went public with their relationship. Despite their 12-year age gap, Sam wasn't fazed in the least.

Britney's fans had mixed reactions to her relationship with the fitness trainer, with some accusing Sam of using her for money and fame. The couple brushed off the negativity and kept fans engaged with cute couple photos.

Sam proved his devotion by standing by Britney through her conservatorship struggles - including her father's strict control, limited freedom, and mental health challenges.

When Britney finally won her freedom from the conservatorship in 2021, Sam popped the question. Interestingly, Sam's ex Myra Veronica actually congratulated the couple on their engagement. She praised both of them, calling Sam "an excellent guy, very modest and charming"!
