Sam Asghari is an Iranian-American model, fitness trainer and actor with over 750,000 followers to his name, he can also be described as a true Instagram star. Asghari is definitely good at what he does as evidenced by the numerous reports he has done in several notable magazines. However, this Iranian-born hunk has garnered a lot of media attention after his romantic relationship with musical royalty Britney Spears. Despite careful media scrutiny, not much is known about Sam Asghari. Let’s find out about this “mysterious” multi-talented internet star who is about to take Hollywood by storm.
His biography, his age, his nationality
Born on March 3, 1994, Sam Asghari is of Iranian origin. He was born to Mike and Fatima Asghari in the Iranian capital, Tehran, and grew up alongside three older siblings, sisters Maddie, Ellie and Faye. When she was 2 years old, her father moved to the United States, while the rest of the family stayed in Tehran. Eventually, Sam, alongside his mother and sisters, joined their father in the United States as a teenager. One of her sisters Farzaneh “Faye” Asghari is also a model.
From an early age, Sam Asghari had ambitions to enter law enforcement or become a sports star. He finally chose the sport when he arrived in Los Angeles at the age of 12. After a fairly successful high school football career, Asghari was sidelined for losing his dream of leaving the University of Nebraska-Lincoln football team. Having lost his chances of becoming a professional athlete, the young man stopped exercising, and also paid little attention to his nutrition. As a result, his body weight reached 290 lbs, which caused him to sink into a depression.
Sam Asghari had 3 jobs at that time, one of which was as a gym sales rep. Six months after escaping the college football scholarship, Sam Asghari made the pivotal decision to quit two of his three jobs to take up a full-time position at the gym. This decision paid off as he managed to reduce his body weight by almost 100 lbs. Armed with the newfound confidence of a ripped body, the Iranian-born brat stretched his tentacles from physical training to showbiz, as he immersed himself in modeling and acting.
Since the start of her modeling career, Sam Asghari has written several articles for magazines including Iron Man Magazine and Men’s Health (MH). He signed with models Wilhelmina in April 2016. Asghari also featured in the music video for the song “Work from Home” by American girl group Fifth Harmony.
All about Sam Asghari
Girlfriend, relationship with Britney Spears
Sam Asghari and Britney Spears reportedly met while filming the video for the singer’s 2016 single ‘Slumber Party’. Asghari starred in the singer’s love of the music video and her on-screen chemistry has since translated into a full-fledged relationship in real life. Despite their initial bond, it’s interesting to know that the couple didn’t make contact until months after they first met. Spears made the decision to call Asghari 5 months after exchanging contacts and as they say the rest is history.
Asgari and Spears kept their relationship private at first, but once the lid was off, this couple remained untamed. Their relationship was first revealed to the public in November 2016 after Asghari posted a photo of him on social media on a date with the singer. However, the photo was deleted almost as quickly as it was posted. The couple finally confirmed the truth of those speculations in March 2017 when Spears posted a video of Asghari’s 23rd birthday celebration on her social media account.
Despite the 12-year age gap between the two, the Sam Asghari and Britney Spears relationship has been going on for a relatively long time, at least by Hollywood standards. There were massive PDAs, major public appearances, social media posts, and all the other trappings of a modern Hollywood relationship. In January 2018, there were rumors of a possible engagement between the couple after Spears was spotted on a Hawaiian beach wearing what appeared to be a sparkling diamond engagement ring.
