ROMANCE
Who l 29the beautiful mothers out there doing the
toughest job in the world!” he wrote
alongside a snap with his lover at dinner.
Although Asghari is 12 years her junior,
the 25-year-old is attentive to his famous
partner, particularly during times of despair.
Spears, 37, has faced some adversity, most
recently being her father Jamie’s health
battle and her own mental health issues.
The singer pulled the plug on her Britney:
Domination Las Vegas residency in January,
saying she needed to “[dedicate] my focus and
energy to care for my family” instead, and
then admitted she’d checked into a mental
health treatment facility in April – which
prompted him to share a message of support
to his partner. “It isn’t weakness,” he wrote
on his Instagram Story. “It’s a sign of absolute
strength, people should only be inspired
by this, at least I am.”
“Sam has stuck by her side throughout all
of her recent struggles and knows this is just
a phase in Britney’s life that they will have to
adjust to right now,” a source tells E! News,
even explaining Asghari had been “very
helpful in making sure Britney did whatever
she needed to feel better’’ – which also meant
he checked in on her and made sure he was
“by her side’’. Too sweet!
