Britney Spears holds a special place in all ’90s kids’ hearts. She’s the one celebrity who has really been through it—and come out the other side doing better than ever. After all those ups and downs, you just want Brit to find the right guy to make her laugh, give her hugs, and bench press her like a barbell (okay, maybe not that last one, but it happened and looks fun!). Well, the legendary pop star has found just that in boyfriend Sam Asghari.
The couple has been holding it down since late 2016, showing they have serious staying power. And, after nearly four years together, it certainly seems like he’s not going anywhere.
Okay, but…who is the guy lucky enough to win Britney’s heart? Short answer: Sam Asghari, 27, is a personal trainer-turned-model (and maybe future actor). Let’s take a deep dive into Brit and Sam’s relationship:
He’s there for her—in sickness and in health.
When Britney broke her foot in a super intense-sounding dance injury, Sam was right by her side. He shared photos from the hospital on Instagram and gave his girl the sweetest shout-out-slash-motivational speech.
“When you break something it tends to heal stronger specially when you’re my Girl👌🏽,” he wrote in the post. “My lioness broke her metatarsal bone on her foot doing what she loves which is dancing 💃 Wishing her the best recovery so she can jump, run, and dance her butt off 💪🏽 #stronger.”

In that post, Sam also shared a video of himself writing “Stronger” on Britney’s cast. “I love you baby,” she can be heard saying in the background.
Sam is ridiculously jacked.
Sure, he’s a personal trainer but…wowzer. The man clearly does not mess in the fitness department.
There’s that time Sam shared a photo of his super-ripped legs:

And then that pic of himself topless in jeans:

And who can forget the photo series of Sam casually showing off his guns?

Marriage could be in his and Britney’s near future.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Asghari said “Absolutely,” when asked whether he saw marriage in his future with the “Make Me” singer. “This is something that every couple should do. That’s the whole point of a relationship—we are a family,” he said. (Ummm, how cute is that?)
“Trust me, if we do ever get married, everybody’s going to know,” he continued. “Actually, you might be the first one to know—you never know!”
Britney and Asghari share a 13 year age difference.
Just in case you forgot, the 38-year-old has two sons, Sean and Jayden, from her previous relationship with Kevin Federline. Meanwhile, Asghari doesn’t have any kids of his own. But despite their age difference, “Sam has a lot more in common with Britney [than her past boyfriends],” a source told Us Weekly in February 2018. “He’s very fun.”

Asghari also told ET how much his family adores Britney: “We’ve been together for three years and my sisters love her, my family loves her. My mom lives in another country [but] when she was here, she met her.”
Sam adores Britney—and vice-versa.
In September, Britney decided to swap out her signature blonde hair for a darker look. The singer captioned the photo, “Same faces, same dress, new hair !!!!! 👠 Yes, my sister inspired me to go dark!!!!!!!”

Asghari hopped into the comment section writing, “Beautiful blond or black ❤️.” But this isn’t the first the couple has expressed their love for one another on the ‘gram.
Britney and Asghari have been together for about three years, and it seems like they’ve got a lot of mutual admiration for each other.

“I’ve been with this man for over a year… everyday he inspires me to be a better person and that makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world,” Britney wrote in an Instagram caption.
“She motivates me more than anyone,” Asghari told Men’s Health. “It’s crazy how I can be humbled by a person like her. If I could be that humble when I’m that high in life, that would be the best thing. She is another blessing that happened to me.”
He’s been a huge support during Britney’s troubled year.
A source recently told Us Weekly that her relationship with Asghari is “rock solid,” and that he’s has tried to “keep her level-headed and calm” amidst drama with her conservatorship.
“She has spent the last year prioritizing herself and her well-being, something she did not have a chance to do as much during her Las Vegas residency. She has had less time with her sons but got really close with her mom, Lynne, and sister, Jamie Lynn, again recently. Britney spends most of her time at home with her boyfriend, Sam [Asghari], or alone,” the source added. “…He brings her so much joy and is a source of stability in her often chaotic life.”
Britney and Asghari met on the set of her music video for “Slumber Party.”

After starring in Fifth Harmony’s “Work from Home” video, his agent scored him a spot on Britney’s “Slumber Party” in October 2016.
“I was excited that I get [sic] to meet one of the biggest artists of all time,” he told Men’s Health about the job. “I had butterflies.”
Asghari says he cracked jokes to Britney on set, pretending he didn’t know her name.
Apparently, according to People, Asghari gave Britney his number and finally, five months later she reached out.
“I was like, ‘He was a really cute, this guy was really cute,’ so I called him,” Britney said in a radio interview. “He’s just a really fun, funny person.”
Afterward, they went out to get sushi together—and soon enough, the papz caught onto their relationship, snapping photos of the insanely good-looking pair.
They became IG official on New Years Day 2017.

Despite photogs following the couple everywhere for months, the duo didn’t make their relationship social media official until 2017 by posting a simple photo of themselves together. (Though, apparently Asghari, had previously posted a photo and then deleted it. Maybe they agreed on a better time to share the news?)
Since then, though, the two gush about each other all the time, using phrases like “better half” and “princess” and posting endearing messages on each others’ accounts. They’ve also shared photos together from all around the world—from Malibu to Japan.
They work out together. A lot.

It’s no wonder that, with a trainer for a boyfriend, Britney is all about fitness. According to Asghari’s interview with Men’s Health, the couple works out together all. the. time.

“The exercises, I come up with them, but the videos are because of my better half,” Asghari told Men’s Health. “She’s the video director.”
The pair love celebrating birthdays together.
In March 2020, Britney shared a cute tribute to Asghari on his 27th birthday. “Happy early B-day to this man !!!!! I adore and love him so much ….. ❤️🦁 !!!! Happy Birthday @samasghari 💋💋💋 !!!!!!” she captioned a sweet snap of the two of them.

Then, when November 2020 rolled around, the couple celebrated Britney’s 39th birthday in Hawaii.
“Felt like a little trip to paradise for an early birthday celebration ✈️🌺☀️🌴💕💋🤸🏼♀️🙊🎂🌟 !!!!!!!!!,” she captioned a photo of the couple standing outside of a private jet.

In December 2020, Asghari tested positive for COVID-19.
He shared the news on Instagram, writing: “2020 has been a crazy/twisted year for all of us. Recently I tested positive for Covid-19, I was lucky enough to catch the news before being around and infecting my loved ones (friends, family, significant other). I quickly isolated myself and started my quarantine process alone. 🙏🏽”

Asghari was very lucky to have a mild case of COVID-19, reporting one day of “common cold-like” symptoms. He was able to continue working out, which is not common at all for COVID-19 patients, many of whom experience extreme fatigue.
“I spend a lot of time cleansing And thinking about how important our health is in General even outside of Covid, at the end of our lives one of the most important things will be health,” Asghari continued in his Instagram post. “I will continue to do my best and inspire you guys to also live a healthy lifestyle.”
The couple was able to reunite around Christmastime.
After quarantining for 10 days and testing negative twice, Asghari was “cleared by doctors to end quarantine” and start to see his loved ones again. He and Britney went on an outdoor date at a waterfall around the holidays.

Luckily, the couple was able to spend Christmas together. Asghari shared a few sweet selfies with Britney in front of a Christmas tree, with all the merriment of Christmas-themed filter. Reindeer antlers, anyone? “Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 from the lioness and Samta 🎅🏽 enjoy your holidays 🤙🏾,” he captioned the photo. (FYI: He calls Britney “the lioness” on the ‘gram.)
