\n\tSam Asghari is well aware of the impact Britney Spears<\/a> has had on his career.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe topic of the \u201cToxic\u201d singer came up during the actor\u2019s recent guest appearance on Nikki and Brie<\/em> as he and the SiriusXM show\u2019s hosts Nikki and Brie Bella \u2014 alongside Asghari\u2019s The Traitors <\/em>season 3 co-stars Wells Adams and Chrishell Stause \u2014 played a game inspired by the murder mystery reality show. When asked whether he would \u201cbanish\u201d a person (as they do every week on The Traitors<\/em>) for claiming that he only found career success \u201cbecause of someone [he] dated,\u201d Asghari was honest about the reality of having previously been married to one of the world\u2019s most famous women.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI wouldn\u2019t banish,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what happened to me. \u2026 We met on an acting set, my last partner, who I was married to. I couldn\u2019t help that she was the biggest superstar in the world and that kind of gave me a kick start.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAsghari added, \u201cEverybody\u2019s famous by association, whether you work with something or \u2026 it\u2019s just how it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpears and Asghari met in 2016 when the latter played the former\u2019s love interest in her \u201cSlumber Party\u201d music video. After about five years of dating \u2014 and only after the Grammy winner\u2019s conservatorship had been terminated \u2014 the pair got engaged in 2021. They were married in June 2022; a little over a year later, Asghari filed for divorce in August 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut even though they aren\u2019t together anymore, Asghari has said that he has nothing but love for his former partner. While guesting on The Viall Files<\/em> in February, the model said<\/a>, \u201cI always say, even though it\u2019s over now, I\u2019m never sad it\u2019s over \u2014 I\u2019m grateful it even happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe\u2019s a genius artist,\u201d he added at the time. \u201cWhat\u2019s in her head is gold, and it\u2019s what made her who she is.\u201d<\/p>\n
