Britney Spears' ex-husband Sam Asghari shares his 'honest' reaction to her marriage claims

Britney Spears' highly-anticipated memoir, The Woman in Me, has at long-last released and fans all over couldn't wait to read it.

Opening up about two decades of little-known details about the 41-year-old pop icon's life, Spears candidly discusses a whole bunch of things, including her relationship with Justin Timberlake, the real reason she shaved her head back in 2007 and the conservatorship - which was ended in 2021.

In the memoir, she also goes into detail about her past relationships, and now her most recent ex-husband, Sam Asghari, has come forward to share his 'honest' reaction to her claims.

Spears and Asghari married in June 2022 after meeting on the set of her 2016 music video for 'Slumber Party'.

However, according to the divorce documents filed by Asghari, the couple’s marriage sadly came to an end in July.

The book, which came out this week (24 October), is said to be a 'brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope'.

The memoir's official synopsis reads: "In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court.

"The impact of sharing her voice—her truth—was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others.

"The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history. "Written with remarkable candour and humour, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last."

And speaking about the moment she first met Asghari, Spears wrote in the memoir: "The first time I saw Hesam Asghari on the set of my video for 'Slumber Party', I knew I wanted him in my life immediately.

"I was instantly smitten. The chemistry with us in the beginning was insane. We couldn’t keep our hands off each other.

"He called me his lioness."

She also referred to Asghari as a 'gift from God', to which he told TMZ: "To be honest, that made me smile."

He said he was 'freaking proud' of the 'Everytime' singer and that he was glad that she was finally able to share her story.

"I hope she takes over the world," he added.

In another excerpt, she also called him an 'inspiration', adding that the end of her conservatorship 'was perfect for our relationship' as they could live 'without limitations'.

The Woman in Me is now available to purchase after its release this week (24 October).
