It looks like Sam Asghari has been spending a lot of time in the gym following his split from wife Britney Spears.

The 29-year-old actor and former personal trainer was seen going shirtless after a workout at Equinox on Saturday (September 23) in Los Angeles.

Sam put his ripped physique and six pack abs on display while leaving the gym and getting into his car in the parking garage.

That same night, Britney showed Sam what he’s missing by sharing a pole dancing video to her Instagram page and her song choice seemed particularly pointed amid her divorce.

Sam filed for divorce from Britney in mid-August and he unfollowed her Instagram page in early September. The actor and model has responded to two major rumors about his split from Britney – that he was jobless and that he was extorting her.

Britney Spears is seemingly reminding ex Sam Asghari of who she is and showing off her moves on her at-home stripper pole.

The 41-year-old Princess of Pop hopped on her favorite social media platform on Saturday night (September 23) to share a video of herself dancing in a neon pink bikini and some body chains with sky-high black heels.

Her song choice – Beyonce‘s “Don’t Hurt Yourself” off her acclaimed album Lemonade – seems particularly pointed amid her divorce.

Head inside to watch Britney Spears’ performance…

“Who the f-ck do you think I am / You ain’t married to no average b-tch boy / You can watch my fat a-s twist, boy / As I bounce to the next d-ck, boy,” Beyonce sings as Britney executes some tight body rolls.

This is hardly the first time that Britney has shown off her moves on the stripper pole. It’s also not the first time she’s referenced her divorce in a dance performance on Instagram.

If you forgot, Britney and Sam called off their relationship after just over a year of marriage in August. Sam filed for divorce shortly after the news broke.

While the message seems pointed, Sam might miss seeing Britney‘s video.

The end of a relationship is never easy to navigate, and that’s especially the case in Hollywood. However, there is no denying that some celebrity divorces go more smoothly than others.

Over the years, there have been A-list lovers who have decided to consciously uncouple after years of marriage. They navigate splits with ease and go on with their lives relatively unscathed.

Other divorces come with a bit more drama. Some are plagued with rumors of infidelity that generate endless headlines. There can be legal battles that play out for years over spousal support, custody issues and so much more.

While drama can play out in court, sometimes it comes in other forms such as songs and memoirs, which unearth old memories.

We rounded up 20 of the most contentious celebrity divorces and recapped what made them so tense.

Up until Monday (September 4), Sam had continued to follow Britney on the platform. However, Page Six noted that he did a major purge and unfollowed nearly 100 accounts. One of those was Britney‘s.

At the time of publishing, she does still follow him.

Britney has remained active on Instagram since responding to the end of their years-long relationship. In one video, she notably removed her wedding and engagement rings and put on a different, equally flashy piece of jewelry while dancing in lingerie.

Instagram has been a touchy subject in Britney and Sam‘s relationship before. There were rumors in late 2022 that he was controlling his wife’s social media, a fact that was disproven when he posted something on her birthday.

Sam had also revealed how he really felt about Britney sharing topless and nearly nude content with her millions of followers online.

The actor and model has responded to two major rumors about his split from Britney - that he was jobless and that he was extorting her.

Sam addressed the rumor while on the SAG-AFTRA picket line, and he did so by making a comparison to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Speaking to a photographer, Sam didn’t deny that he was between jobs. Instead, he alleged that every actor was not working due to the ongoing strikes in Hollywood.

“That’s the point of this strike. I have the same amount of jobs as Leonardo DiCaprio does,” he said, via Page Six.

He continued speaking about the strike, saying, “I hope everything gets resolved very fast so that we can all go back to doing what we love doing the most, which is making art and inspiring people.”

Another recent report suggested that Britney was paying a hefty monthly sum for Sam‘s rent. Meanwhile, he addressed whispers that he was extorting the pop princess for a favorable divorce settlement.

Instead of wearing the jewelry from her marriage, Britney showed off a flashy piece of costume jewelry that appeared to feature a massive fake diamond on her ring finger. She held her hands up to the camera, putting it on full display, while dancing around in red and black lingerie.

Britney shared a throwback photo of herself from a photoshoot in a later post. This one was paired with a caption that read “F-ck with me … I dare you.” She signed off with the middle finger emoji.

Her new posts come following a report suggesting that Britney is paying a hefty sum to keep Sam in a new apartment.

The couple, who began dating in 2016 and were married for just over a year, announced that they were splitting last week. Sam filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason.

Britney broke her silence on the split news in another post on Instagram. She has since made a new addition to her family after reportedly losing one of her dogs to Sam.

Celebrity couples can meet anywhere. However, the public is always particularly interested when they fall in love on the set of a project that they are co-starring in.

An A-list singer is the latest celeb to be linked to a co-star, and they’ve reportedly been together for a while now.

While they are one of the newest celebrity couple to date and work together, they are far from the first. Young adult franchises such as High School Musical and Twilight helped bring about some of the most iconic celebrity couples of the mid-to-late aughts in Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Meanwhile, movies like Mr. & Mrs. Smith and superhero blockbusters such as The Amazing Spider-Man also led to offscreen romances for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

Of course, some of these relationships don’t work out in the long haul. However, others do. Take Jennifer Lopez and Gigli co-star Ben Affleck – who rekindled their love years later and married in 2022 – as an example.

We put together a list of more than 30 celebrity couples that worked together and recapped if their love is still burning strong today.

“I think she’s a great actress,” he told TMZ when paparazzi caught him in the airport on Thursday (March 23). He said it “would be a dream come true” to appear in a project together.

What sort of movie? Beyond a rom-com, Sam had another idea.

“Maybe it’s an action film,” he mused. “She’s very athletic so maybe she’s able to jump up and kick a few people and do a bunch of stunts. I think she’d be really good at that.”

He also spoke candidly about conservatorships and if there is any benefit to them.

“Absolutely not,” he said, adding that Britney‘s “conservatorship was a total bulls-it move. It should have never happened.”

He continued, saying, “It should be illegal to put anybody under the conservatorship. That was the worst thing that’s ever happened in this country. The country of freedom, that should have never happened. Especially to her.”

If you missed it, Britney revealed her most-liked nude pic on social media earlier this month.
