Spears and Asghari began dating in 2016, after they met on the set of Spears’s “Slumber Party” music video. As Spears faced the trauma of her conservatorship and her fans urged the court to #FreeBritney, Asghari voiced his support of her in a statement to People: “I am thankful for all of the love and support she is receiving from her fans all over the world, and I am looking forward to a normal, amazing future together.”
