Britney Spears' Ex Sam Asghari Reacts to Her Memoir

Britney Spears' estranged husband, Sam Asghari, is breaking his silence on her new tell-all. One day after the release of The Woman in Me, which details everything from the pop icon's rise to fame to her troubled relationships, Sam says he was quote, "...freaking proud of Britney and was glad that she was able to share her story with the world." In a video published by TMZ on October 25th, after he was asked about being described as a gift from God in the book, Sam answers, "...to be honest, that made me smile." The 29-year-old then adds, "...I hope she takes over the world." Sam first met the singer in 2016 when he co-starred in her Slumber Party music video. In The Woman in Me, Britney recalls that she was quote, "...instantly smitten, writing, The chemistry with us in the beginning was insane." The two wed in June 2022 after five years of dating, but in August 2023, Sam filed for divorce. "...we will hold on to the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always," Sam wrote on his Instagram story on August 17th. Meanwhile, Britney admitted in a separate post that she had been quote, "...playing it strong for way too long." She continued, "...six years is a long time to be with someone, so I'm a little shocked, but I'm not here to explain why because it's honestly nobody's business." At the time, the 41-year-old added, "...you're supposed to be loved unconditionally, not under conditions, so I will be as strong as I can and do my best." In her memoir, Britney shares that her past romances with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline quote, "...ruined her outlook on relationships altogether," explaining, "...I used to trust people, but after the breakup with Justin and then my divorce, I never really did trust people again." The Grammy winner writes that quote, "...both Justin and Kevin were very clever," and she quote, "...never knew how to play the game." "...I was truly innocent, just clueless, so I was young and I made a lot of mistakes, but I will say this, I wasn't manipulative, I was just stupid."
