Sam Asghari has publicly addressed his divorce from his wife Britney Spears for the first time. The 29-year-old model and fitness trainer took to his Instagram Stories on Thursday to discuss the recent separation.
“After six years of love and commitment to each other, my wife and I have chosen to conclude our shared journey,” he indicated, referring to their split. “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other, and I wish her all the best.”
He added, “Difficult circumstances arise,” continuing to share his perspective on the situation.
Asghari also appealed for privacy during this period. He expressed, “I understand that requesting privacy might seem [unreasonable], so I’ll simply request that everyone… be kind and considerate.” His representative, Brandon Cohen from BAC Talent, also responded to rumors surrounding the separation with a statement provided to PEOPLE magazine.
“Numerous allegations suggest that Sam is contesting the prenuptial agreement and making threats to exploit his former spouse with videos,” he clarified. “However, all these allegations are baseless, as he has never had any negative intentions toward her and never will.
