Britney Spears' ex Sam Asghari is trying his best to be stronger than yesterday, following the end of their marriage.

The actor shared insight into his new chapter of life Nov. 22, six months after the former couple settled their divorce.

"It's the bed that you make yourself, and you got to learn how to lay in it," Asghari told People at the inaugural amfAR Las Vegas benefit event for AIDS research at Wynn Las Vegas, "so it's part of the lifestyle."

The 30-year-old said, "You just got to keep it positive," adding, "You got to stay grounded and understand what the truth is and really just live with that rather than other people's opinions or anything like that."

Spears' ex arrived at the event with his sister, Fay Asghari. Per People, he also attended the event with Brooke Irvine. The two, who have been spotted out and about together in Los Angeles in recent weeks, did not pose for photos together.

Unbreakable Bond

In February 2021, a source close to the pop star offered rare insight into their shared private life.

"Sam is very good to Britney and she's crazy about him," the insider told E! News. "She loves when they get to travel together and take a romantic vacation... They work out together and both are very into staying fit and taking care of their bodies. They love watching movies together and hanging out at home. But Britney also loves going out to dinner, especially for sushi."

Say I Do

Hope For the Future

During the June 23 conservatorship hearing, Britney testified to wanting what she described as the "real deal," marriage and a baby. According to the singer, the conservatorship prevents her from creating the future she wants.

She told the judge, "I deserve to have the same rights as anybody does by having a child, a family, any of those things."

Stronger Than Yesterday

As Britney continued to make positive strides in her conservatorship battle, a source close to Sam indicated a proposal was just over the horizon.

"Engagement has always been in the cards for Sam and Britney, without question," the insider shared with E! News in September. "It's the direction their relationship has been heading for nearly two years now. It's always a discussion and it's not a question of if, it's when."

The source explained further, "Things are evidently becoming better for Britney with her conservatorship and she's never felt this liberated in all aspects of her life. The closer she gets to freedom, the closer she is to seeing all of her dreams become an actual reality. Marrying Sam is high on that list and loving him the way she wants, how she wants, on her own terms."
