Sam Asghari is breaking his silence about what life was really like as Britney Spears’ husband. In a candid conversation on Kate and Oliver Hudson’s Sibling Revelry podcast, Asghari described his marriage as “the weirdest thing to deal with,” particularly due to the conservatorship that governed the pop star’s life for over a decade, Today’s Esquire reported.
Asghari, 30, admitted that he anticipated challenges in being married to a global superstar but was unprepared for the level of control imposed by her father, Jamie Spears. “I was like, wait a minute. I thought I was in America. What do you mean?” he said, questioning how Britney Spears’ basic rights—including decisions about her reproductive health—had been taken away.
