Sam Asgari said he “used Britney” after becoming official with a new girlfriend

It seems Sam Ashgari wants to start the new year by showing the world his new girlfriend.

The “Special Actions: The Lion” actor was previously married Britney Spears after meeting on the set of her 'Slumber Party' music video in 2016. The two got engaged in September 2021, just two months before her controversial 13-year conservatorship was overturned by a judge.

They tied the knot in June 2022, but it wasn't long before the former personal trainer filed for divorce in August 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Although Sam Asghari seems to have moved on from his ex Britney Spears, it seems many fans still haven't gotten over their relationship. In August 2023, the actor filed for divorce, which was finalized in May 2024. In December 2024, the state of California declared the two unmarried.

The former personal trainer appears to have spent the holidays celebrating with his new girlfriend, real estate agent Brooke Irwin, and made their relationship official in a series of photos he shared of their new relationship on January 1 to ring in the new year.

Although the “Toxic” singer has turned off comments on her Instagram posts, Sam has never been shy about letting her followers speak their mind.

On Jan. 1, the “Hot Seat” actor shared five photos of his new relationship with the blonde beauty. “Happy New Year everyone,” he wrote in the caption. It is clear that his sister Madia Ashgari supports the relationship, who posted two red heart emojis on the post.

However, not everyone was happy to see him move on. “He only used Britney to get money so sad for this guy but don't forget karma exists,” one user wrote.

“I'm not even sure if it was money he was after. He wanted publicity,” another netizen replied.

“Publicity over money…exactly,” agreed a third user.

“It's sad you never loved Britney…just wanted to be famous for her,” another follower shared. This comment received a whopping 833 likes to show their approval.

While not everyone was a fan of The Traitors reality star's new relationship, his post included some positive comments, including one that only “Momma Asghari” should approve of his new relationship.

“Congratulations. You deserve healthy and happy love. Your love is pure,” one fan commented.

“Sam's best advice is don't look at the looks, look at the heart and soul. All I wish you is a happy New Year,” another follower wrote.

“You have a beautiful girlfriend. I'm so happy for you both. Happy New Year!” exclaimed a third fan.

While the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer may not be in a relationship right now, she wasn't spending the holidays alone after her son Jaden joined her. In fact, she declared it was the “best” Christmas of her life after spending time with her sons over the holidays.

Over Christmas, she shared a video of herself standing by the fireplace with Jaden, who looks visibly emotional.

Tears of joy and literally in shock every day sooooo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I'm speechless thank you Jesus !! !” she wrote in the caption.
