Sam Asghari has chosen his words carefully every time he’s spoken about his estranged wife, Britney Spears, since filing for divorce last August. However, the fitness trainer recently shared his thoughts on Justin Timberlake following the various allegations Britney made about him in her memoir The Woman In Me, which released last fall.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Sam was asked what he thinks of the Timberlake and Spears drama. While the Iranian native admitted to not being very up-ot-date on the situation, or on celebrity gossip in general, he said he wants to be “supportive” of Britney.
“I try to not follow entertainment news. Especially news that was past my time,” Sam explained. “That's something I never really get involved in just because I think personal life and professional life are two different things.”
Sam went on to acknowledge he was very young when Britney and Justin began dating and their romance was splashed across the tabloids (they were together from 1999 to 2002). Sam would’ve been around 5-years old when they began dating.
"I was very young when they were dating, so I don't really follow pop culture like that," Sam said, adding "And entertainment news could be completely different from reality."
In her memoir, Britney reflected on her high-profile relationship with Timberlake. Among her revelations included claims that Justin pressured her into terminating a pregnancy and that he cheated on her with another pop star in the industry, though Britney left her name out.

“I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,” an excerpt from the ook revealed. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.”
“I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby,” she continued. “I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.”
The public’s reaction towards Timberlake has been hard. When he released his new single “Selfish” earlier this year, Britney fans trolled him by getting her hit song of the same name to trend in the charts.
Various reports say the drama has affect Timberlake’s marriage to Jessica Biel, with whom he shares two kids. A recent claim says that Jessica is worried Justin’s upcoming tour will put a huge strain on their relationship.
While Britney shares two kids with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, she’s navigating another divorce as she battles it out with Sam. The pair’s inability to reach a settlement despite a prenup in place suggests there may be disagreement about the financial figure. This follows reports that Sam seemingly wanted to secure a bigger payout from Britney, though he’s denied the report.
