Sam Asghari is turning heads again — this time on the cover of Playgirl magazine’s December 2025 issue.
But beyond the shirtless shots and sculpted-abs allure, the 31-year-old model and actor seems to be using this moment to redefine himself — beyond just being known as Britney Spears’ ex-husband.
In a spread photographed by Katie Levine, Asghari embraces provocative new imagery: leather pants unzipped, abs on full display; a poolside shot with little more than a towel; even a bubble-bath image where just the foam and shadows hint at his physique.
It’s a transformational look from the clean-cut trainer profile we once knew.
But Asghari isn’t just flexing muscles — he’s reflecting on his past with surprising maturity.
In the accompanying interview, he referenced an Iranian proverb about loyalty and appreciation for shared meals, saying people should “celebrate the past, appreciate it and not dwell on the fact it’s over.”
He added, “Be happy it ever even happened.”
Asghari & Spears Relationship Timeline
Spears and Asghari first met in October 2016 on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video.
Their romance went public in early 2017, and they spent years supporting each other — especially during Spears’ conservatorship battle.
After getting engaged in September 2021, they married on June 9, 2022, in a star-studded ceremony with less than 100 guests.
In early 2022, the couple revealed they were expecting a child, but sadly Britney miscarried the following month.
Their marriage lasted just 14 months; they separated in August 2023 and their divorce was finalized in May 2024.
Despite the split, Asghari has spoken respectfully of their time together — calling it a “blessing” and expressing gratitude for their shared memories.
What’s Next for Asghari?
After being one of the faithfuls on Season 3 of “The Traitors,” Asghari plans to continue to act.
While he prefers to try to remain private, he stated he’s looking forward to what is next.
“Because at the end of the day, I do have a future,” he added. “I was acting before that relationship… and I will continue acting.”
He said that even after his limelight romance with Spears, he is still the same person he was when he first came to the United States.
“I’m going to be the Sam that I was when I moved to America,” he noted. “Because I’m still the person with the same enthusiasm, with the same positivity, with the same energy.”
