Britney and Sam's relationship
Britney and Sam began dating in 2017.
They took their relationship to the next level in June 2022.
Their marriage only lasted fourteen months before they split in August 2023.
Speaking to PEOPLE about their relationship, Sam said: “It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on."
He added: “I've always hated people leaving a certain relationship — and at some point they told each other they love each other and they sat at the same table and ate food [together] — so I never understood when people part ways [and] they talk badly about each other.
“That's something I'm never going to do because I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life, and that's always going to be part of my life, a chapter of my life."
