Sam Asghari has called for privacy for his former wife Britney Spea rs after she was recently arrested on suspicion of DUI

Sam Asghari has called for privacy for Britney Spears after her recent “mistakes”.

Britney, 44, was arrested last week on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol (DUI) in Ventura, California and her former husband Sam, 32, has called for understanding.

He told Fox News: "When it comes to people making mistakes, I understand that. I think that everyone deserves privacy. And I hope the press has learned from the past, that they give her the privacy that she needs."

Britney and Sam began dating in 2016 and got married in June 2022 before splitting in July 2023. They divorced the following year.
