On March 30, Sam Asghari was running an errand in Los Angeles when he was spotted without his wedding band. The photos come at a time when his marriage to Britney Spears is under heavy scrutiny as rumors indicate the couple may be having marital problems – they’ve been married since June 2022.
The rumors began when Spears posted a photo of her and Asghari before they got married. “Throwback to Mexico… before I got married … so happy and silly here!!!” she wrote in the caption. In the comments, many people questioned whether the post was an indication that she hasn’t been happy in recent months.
The speculation continued when Spears posted photos and a video of her and her manager/friend, Cade Hudson, ‘cuddled up’ on a private plane and spending the day at the beach. Some fans were quick to point out that the two are very close friends, but that didn’t stop others from letting the rumors run wild.

Despite the rumors, Sam Asghari wants everyone to know that his marriage to Britney Spears is not in jeopardy and the two aren’t experiencing marital issues at the moment. According to his representative, Brandon Cohen of BAC Talent, Asghari wasn’t wearing his ring the day prior because he was filming.
Cohen didn’t elaborate on what he was filming on Thursday, but he has been posting a series of fight choreography videos with his friends and he’s always working on stunt training. He most recently produced a brief stunt/fight scene titled French Disconnection, which he posted on his Instagram.
In November, he announced he was cast in the new television series Lioness, a spy thriller created by Taylor Sheridan. He’s starring in the series alongside Zoe Saldaña, Laysla De Oliveira, Dave Annable, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Kelly, and more.
While a release date hasn’t been set for the series, it was announced in 2020 and is due to air on Paramount+. The show tells the story of a US Marine who is asked to go undercover and befriend the daughter of a terrorist, who is being targeted by the CIA. Sam Asghari is being cast as Kamal in the show.
Sam Asghari and Britney Spears Got Married in June 2022
In less than three months, Sam Asghari and Britney Spears will be celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary. The couple originally met in 2016 while filming Spears’ music video for ‘Slumber Party.’ While it took roughly five months for them to reconnect after filming, she eventually decided to reach out to him.
Five years later – in September 2021 – Asghari proposed to Spears, who is 13 years his senior. He opened up about his relationship with Spears in an interview with Forbes a few months prior, saying he wants to take his relationship to the next step and has goals of one day becoming a young father.
The couple got married on June 9, 2022 – just two months before Spears suffered a miscarriage with their first child (her third child). Following the wedding, they moved into a near-$12 million mansion – which was paid for by Spears. The couple has allegedly been happily married ever since, despite rumors.
