Amidst the pages of The Woman in Me, a narrative that chronicles her roller-coaster life, Britney Spears doesn't hold back her heartfelt admiration for Sam Asghari, the man she once called her husband. 

With poetic precision, she describes him as a “gift from God”, a sentiment penned down before the clouds of separation shadowed their relationship in August.

In the memoir's concluding pages, Britney shares, “I have an appreciation for how stable he is. I love that he doesn’t even drink.” These words reveal a deep-seated respect and fondness she held for her estranged ex’s sober and steadfast nature.

Revisiting the past, Britney warmly reminisces about their initial encounter in October 2016, during the filming of her Slumber Party music video.

The magnetism between them was palpable from the start. “I knew I wanted him in my life immediately,” Britney divulges. “The chemistry with us in the beginning was insane. We couldn’t keep our hands off each other.”

At 41, Britney, the voice behind hits like Hold Me Closer, attributes significant life milestones to the influence of the former personal trainer, who is 29.

Recounting one of the most pivotal moments of her life, she highlights Sam’s silent but strong support during her heart-wrenching court hearing in June 2021 against the oppressive 13-year conservatorship. 

“I look up to him — his consistency with working out and being a good man and being healthy and taking care of me and helping me learn how we can take care of each other,” she reflects, adding, “He’s such an inspiration, and I’m grateful.”

Their love story, which appeared to blossom beautifully, saw them exchange vows in a private ceremony at her California residence in June 2022. However, the sands of time shifted rapidly, and a mere 14 months later, their paths diverged.

Yet, readers delving into The Woman in Me won't find the full breadth of their separation story. 

Page Six disclosed that the Grammy-awarded singer had submitted her final manuscript before the unraveling of her marital chapter.

This choice provides the memoir with a more optimistic ending, albeit not reflecting the entirety of their journey together.

Britney, however, seems to leave room for more revelations. Teasing her ardent followers on Instagram, she hinted, “volume 2 [is] coming after 1.”

 While her followers wait with bated breath, Gallery Books, her publisher, remains tight-lipped about any official announcement concerning a subsequent memoir.
