Mr Asghari, an Iranian-American actor, model and fitness trainer, met Ms Spears while she was shooting the video for her song Slumber Party in 2016. He was a vocal supporter of her efforts to end her father Jamie's conservatorship; a fight she won just months before their marriage. The couple got engaged in September 2021 and were married in a small ceremony last June. Rumours of their marital struggles were reported in US tabloids this year.
