Sam Asghari Is Dating Brooke Irvine After Britney Spears Divorce

Sam Asghari has a new girlfriend for the first time since his split from Britney Spears.

After Asghari, 30, was spotted cozying up to a woman named Brooke Irvine, a source exclusively confirms to Us Weekly that the pair are boyfriend and girlfriend. The insider notes that the relationship is still fairly new and began a few months ago.

The new romance comes after Asghari and Spears, 43, separated in 2023 after one year of marriage. The exes settled their divorce in May. The source shares that Asghari took some time for himself after the divorce and is now very happy with Irvine, who the insider calls a “normal girl.”

Asghari and Irvine were seen strolling West Hollywood together on Wednesday, November 27. In photos obtained by TMZ, the duo walked with their arms around each other and got cozy while sitting on a bench. In one snap, Irvine leaned in to kiss the model and fitness trainer on the cheek.

In August, Asghari exclusively told Us that he was “putting all of my mindset” toward his acting and producing career rather than dating. He also joked that he was already “dating a very high-maintenance girl” — his dog.

“I have to get her nails done and take her to the dog park and feed her good food and get her really nice treats,” he quipped. “That is what I’m focused on at the moment.”

Asghari also reflected on the lessons he learned from his relationship with Spears.

“When you’re in a relationship or any experiences that are major in your life, you learn so much,” he said. “I only celebrate the past. I always like to appreciate the past, celebrate the past and that’s just a big part of me. I’m always going to be that type of person.”

Asghari and Spears got engaged in 2021 and tied the knot the following year. Spears reflected on their split in an August 2023 Instagram post shared shortly after Asghari filed for divorce.

“6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because it’s honestly nobody’s business !!!” the singer wrote at the time. “But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly !!! In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you !!!”

While Asghari and Spears’ marriage didn’t last, Asghari came to his ex-wife’s defense in September. After social media influencer Michael Pavano posted a mocking reenactment of Spears’ video reaction to Sabrina Carpenter’s 2024 MTV Video Music Awards performance, Asghari commented, “Not cool ????????.”

A source exclusively told Us in May that even though the duo are no longer married, Asghari “will always have a soft spot for Britney and will always be protective over her.”
