00:00 Britney Spears and Sam Asghari call it quits.
00:02 Britney Spears, the superstar, and her husband Sam
00:05 are reportedly filing for divorce.
00:07 Sam Asghari is struggling after divorcing Britney Spears.
00:11 I think hardships sometimes are good for people.
00:13 The pair appeared happily in love
00:15 throughout the relationship and marriage
00:17 with the two often found canoodling in Miami
00:20 or cruising through Cabo.
00:21 But almost immediately after they split,
00:23 his life had been upended too.
00:25 And if reports are to be believed,
00:27 he's not doing as well as he did,
00:29 at least in terms of making a living.
00:30 Yeah, man, it's unreal.
00:32 This is not something that I've ever thought of.
00:34 Poor Sam, he must be feeling down in the dumps.
00:36 After all, nothing screams heartbreak
00:38 like having to get a day job again.
00:40 But for someone who left behind a lucrative career
00:43 as a personal trainer and fitness model,
00:46 it's hard to imagine he's struggling too much.
00:48 We wanna go somewhere, make it happen right now.
00:51 We wanna do something, make it happen.
00:52 I think the best things in life are spontaneous things.
00:55 Britney Spears didn't let her divorce from Sam
00:57 stop her from breaking a years-long hiatus from music
01:01 and beginning the process of working on a brand new record.
01:04 She has an upcoming writer's camp
01:06 and is getting songs from some big artists,
01:08 a source told Page Six.
01:09 The same can't be said for Asghari,
01:11 whose prospects have dried up
01:12 and who is apparently struggling to find work.
01:15 You know, that's what I'm doing.
01:16 I'm putting a lot of work in stunt training.
01:18 Training, okay. And a lot of acting.
01:20 And as you can see.
01:21 Asghari has been open about his aspirations
01:23 to make it big in Hollywood.
01:25 In a 2022 interview with GQ,
01:27 he said that while he puts bread on the table
01:29 by being a personal trainer,
01:30 his passion really lies in acting.
01:32 "When I was playing football,
01:33 I was also doing theater and arts.
01:34 It's something that's always been a part of my life,"
01:36 he said, adding that he's interested
01:38 in playing a Middle Eastern superhero
01:40 for better representation on screen.
01:42 But he hasn't found any luck booking roles.
01:44 And per reports, the end of the only projects he had,
01:47 which included a part in Paul Feig's "Grand Death Lotto"
01:50 and the Paramount Plus series special "Ops Lioness"
01:52 coincided with the SAG AfterStrike.
01:54 Sam is still looking for his big break
01:57 an insider told Page Six.
01:58 But while he has nothing lined up,
02:00 he was reportedly in high spirits,
02:02 even likening himself to Leonardo DiCaprio.
02:04 "I mean, that's the point of the strike,"
02:06 he told TMZ when confronted why he was out of work.
02:08 "I have the same amount of jobs as Leonardo DiCaprio."
02:10 So while his heart may be healing
02:12 after the end of his marriage,
02:13 it seems like Sam is keeping himself busy
02:16 and focused on creating a new future for himself.
02:18 Oh, and one more thing.
02:19 We have a feeling Sam will definitely be avoiding
02:21 any more relationships with pop stars in the future.
02:24 Lesson learned, right Sam?
02:26 Asghari and Spears famously met in October 2016
02:29 on the set of the singer's "Slumber Party" music video shoot.
02:32 They hit it off immediately
02:33 and went Instagram official only a few months later.
02:36 You could say the former lovebirds
02:37 were together through thick and thin,
02:39 especially when Spears fought to break free
02:40 from her years-long conservatorship.
02:43 Asghari had been her pillar of support during that period.
02:45 "I have zero respect for someone
02:46 "trying to control our relationship
02:48 "and constantly throwing obstacles in our way,"
02:50 he wrote on Instagram at the time,
02:52 leading fans to conclude it was a jab
02:54 at Spears' father, Jamie.
02:56 The couple married a year after her trial
02:57 only to break things off 14 months later.
02:59 But let's be honest,
03:00 who wouldn't wanna break free from a conservatorship?
03:02 I mean, it's essentially like being on house arrest,
03:05 but without the luxury of actually being at home.
03:07 And for someone as talented and iconic as Britney Spears,
03:10 that must have been incredibly frustrating.
03:12 And while we may never know the true reason
03:13 behind this split, one thing is for sure,
03:15 Sam will always have Britney's back.
03:17 I mean, who wouldn't wanna be there for the queen of pop?
03:19 Plus, with his charming good looks
03:20 and dedication to fitness,
03:21 I'm sure it won't be long until he finds himself
03:24 another leading lady.
03:25 But let's just hope she doesn't come
03:26 with a conservatorship attached.
03:28 In the meantime, we'll just have to settle
03:29 for stalking his Instagram page
03:31 and reminiscing about the good old days
03:32 when he and Britney were #couplegoals.
03:35 And who knows, maybe there's still a chance
03:36 for a reconciliation in the future?
03:39 After all, stranger things have happened in Hollywood.
03:41 But that is all for today.
03:43 Thank you for watching.
