Sam Asghari is trying to ‘keep it positive’ after his divorce from Britney Spears.

The 30-year-old actor was married to pop star Britney, 42, from June 2022 to July 2023 and more than a year after their split, has admitted he just has to “learn” how to deal with the divorce and “stay grounded” during the period of to move on.

Asked how he’s been adjusting to his new life without the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker, he told People: ‘It’s the bed you make yourself, and you have to learn to lie in it, so it’s part of the lifestyle.

“You just have to keep it positive. You have to stay grounded and understand what the truth is and really just live with that rather than other people’s opinions or anything like that.”

The ‘Jackpot’ star – who met Britney in 2016 on the set of her ‘Slumber Party’ music video – previously insisted he has no hard feelings towards the pop icon.

When asked if he had been in contact with Britney recently, Sam told “Extra”: “I just wish her the best.”

Shortly after their split, the “…Baby One More Time” hitmaker took to social media to admit she was “a bit shocked” by their breakup.

Britney wrote on Instagram at the time: “As everyone knows Hesam and I are no longer together … six years is a long time to be with someone like that,

I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because frankly it’s nobody’s business. But I couldn’t take the pain anymore, honestly.”

Britney also thanked her fans for their support.

She said: “In some sort of telepathic way, I’ve had so many heart-melting messages from friends and I thank you.

“I’ve been playing it strong for far too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that. I’d love to show my emotions and tears about how I really feel but for some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses.”
