In an interview published on Saturday, Asghari spoke of the “blessing” of being with Spears but said the couple had separated.
“It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people break up and move on,” Asghari told the magazine.
Asghari told the publication he couldn't imagine the two speaking “badly about each other” and said he would never disparage the relationship he had with Spears.
“It's something I'll never do because I've had nothing but an incredible experience and a great life, and it will always be a part of my life, a chapter of my life,” Asghari said.
The relationship between Asghari and Spears began in 2016 when Asghari starred alongside the singer in the music video for her song “Slumber Party.”

At the time, Spears said she “shocked” by the news.
“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 honestly it's no one's business,” Spears wrote in a press release. Instagram caption. “But honestly, I couldn’t take the pain anymore.”
Representatives for Spears did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside of normal business hours.
