In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Sam Asghari sheds light on his marriage to pop icon Britney Spears and their recent separation.
The actor and model, 29, expressed gratitude for the time spent with Spears, emphasizing the natural evolution of relationships.
"It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on," Asghari stated, reflecting on their union that began in 2017 and culminated in marriage in June 2022.

Despite being the one to initiate the divorce proceedings, Asghari harbors no animosity towards Spears. On the contrary, he prefers to cherish the memories they created together.
“I've always hated people leaving a certain relationship — and at some point they told each other they love each other and they sat at the same table and ate food [together] — so I never understood when people part ways [and] they talk badly about each other,” Asghari remarked.
“That's something I'm never going to do because I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life, and that's always going to be part of my life, a chapter of my life.”
As he approaches his 30th birthday on March 3, Asghari is focused on advancing his career and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
He views aging as a journey enriched by wisdom and diverse experiences, including his marriage and divorce from Spears.
“I always have the most positive mindset about life. My experiences in life have shaped me into the man I am today. I will continue growing. I come from a place where we celebrate our past,” he affirmed. “I look back fondly. My past was a blessing and beautiful.”
For now, Asghari's companion is his Doberman, Porsha, as he navigates this new chapter with optimism and resilience.
