Sam Asghari’s Early Life

Sam Asghari was born on 4th March 1994 in Tehran, Iran. Born to parents, Mike and Fatima Asghari, he was raised alongside his three older siblings named Maddie, Ellie, and Faye. Asghari shifted to Los Angeles in 2006 to live with his father from Iran. His father used to work as a tow truck driver. The Persian heritage guy told Men’s Health:

“I had to leave my friends and family who I was very close with, and I knew I was moving away and never coming back.”

From the tender age, Sam had the intention of becoming a sports star or going into law enforcement. His move to the USA eventually helped him settled for sports. During his tenure at the high school, he was a part of the school football team. He had a successful high school football career. After graduating from high school, he joined the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He was loving his football career until the time when he was dropped from the college football team. After the tragic moment, he developed his interest in fitness.

Career and His Humble Beginnings

Was making an identity in the showbiz industry his ultimate dream? Or it was just his mere luck. Throwing some lights on his struggle days, Sam neither wanted to become a model nor an actor. Sam Asghari dreamt of becoming a football player since his childhood. He took the first step towards his goal when he was in high school. In high school, he was a football player. But, as he got enrolled in college, he was kicked out from the college football team. Having seen his dream get buried into the mud, he stopped exercising and paid little addition to nutrition. As a result, his weight hit an alarming 290 lbs. Following his weight gain, he suffered from depression. He reveals his experience in an interview that says:

“I was eating Doritos for breakfast, fast food, sugar, candy, no protein, a lot of carbs, and drinking sugary sodas. My nutrition was extremely horrible. The stress and fear of not going anywhere in life combined gave me my depression.”

At that time, Sam was involved in 3 jobs, one of which was gym sales representative. In 2013, six months after missing out the college football scholarship, he quit two of his jobs and started his full-time career at the gym. Sam was working in the Gold’s gym. The decision to quit two of his jobs paid him well as he lose his weight by nearly 100 lbs. The guy really worked hard to shed his overweight. He worked as a personal trainer even working out for two hours a day and controlling his diet to focus on proteins, vegetables, and complex carbs. With the new look , the Iranian- born hunk jumped into the showbiz industry as a model and an actor from just fitness training.

Sam wasn’t born holding a silver spoon in his mouth. He struggled hard to achieve this success so far. Started from the low, he has bagged various magazine features that include Men’s Health and Man Magazine since the inception of his modeling career. In 2016, he was signed by Wilhelmina models. Likewise, he was featured in the song “Work from Home” by American girl group Fifth Harmony. He was also signed by the Under Armour. In addition, he met the love of his life while shooting for the video of Britney Spears hit single “Slumber Party.” Recently, he debuted as an actor with the movie ‘Unbelievable”. Besides, he also runs his own soccer academy. He shared his plan to open the academy on his Instagram handle.

Sam Asghari and Britney Spears: The Fairy Tale Love Story

First Meeting: Wasn’t a Love at First Sight

Sam and Spears love story started when they were shooting for the singer’s hit album “Slumber Party” in 2016. As total strangers, the two had to shoot super steamy scenes in very public space. In January 2017, Spears revealed how their love story blossomed in between the takes. She shared her first encounter with Asghari with AMP 103.7’s Fast in the Morning with Nathan Fast and Sybil Summers. She stated:

“We were shooting and we were doing this scene where I was doing the walk scene through the hall to go through the door to go to the bedroom, and we were sitting there and we were waiting and waiting together for 20 minutes at a time.”

She further added:

“So we were basically forced to talk to each other and he has no idea. I mean, he knows my name, but he doesn’t know me as a person. He’s like ‘What is this girl like’? And I have no idea who the hell is.”

They were forced to talk with each other. The couple finally broke the ice by talking about the Sushi and the things they like. On their Sushi date, they exchanged their phone numbers. But, the relationship was a slow burn as the singer forgot the Persian model after wrapping the music video.

Starting of the Whirlwind Romance

Asghari and Spears weren’t in touch for many months after their first meeting. As it was in their fate, once a stranger and now a hot couple, came in touch with each other after five months. Spears literally forgot about the Iranian hunk and later remembered him when she saw the number. She says:

“I kept his number, and it was so weird — it was like five months later, and I found his number in my bag. I was like, ‘He is really cute. This guy is really cute.’ So then I called him, and ever since then, he is just a really fun, funny person.”

Shortly after, they started spending time with each other and the rest is history. The couple kept their relationship secret during the initial phase and once it got lid off, the pair never stopped giving major couple goals. Asghari made their relationship public with an Instagram post in 2016. However, as his fans questioned about the post, Sam deleted the post as quickly as possible. The romance rumor was officially proved true on March 3, 2017. On that date, Spears shared a post on her social media account with the caption “My Baby’s Birthday”.

The romantic pair may have their fair share of quirks, but at the end of the day, the duo is relationship goals. The couple constantly supports and gush about one another. Apart from that, they flood their social media accounts posting their sweetest and funniest moments.

It’s hard to believe the couple has a huge age gap of 13 years. But, age seems just a number for them as they are continuously giving PDAs for other couples.

They exchanged vows at a chapel in Las Vegas on the occasion of New Year. But, many of her fans and well-wishers were shocked by the news that she canceled the marriage just 55 hours later. Well, that move was quite surprising.

After annulling the marriage, the following year Spears got hitched to Kevin Federline, her backup dancer. Soon after tying the knot, they gave birth to handsome son Sean Preston in 2005. After a year, the couple again welcomed a baby boy in September 2006. It seems like the things were already getting sour between them before the arrival of their second baby. Just after two months of his birth, the pop queen filed for a divorce in November 2006. The couple fought for the custody of their children. Currently, Kevin has full custody over his two sons.
