During a recent interview with People magazine, the fitness coach who transitioned to acting disclosed his aim to cherish the time he spent with the 'Toxic' singer, stating:

"It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on."

At the age of 29, Asghari filed for divorce from Spears, citing 'irreconcilable differences' barely a year into their marriage. 

The move 'shocked' Spears, who then turned to Instagram to announce the news, writing:

"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 its honestly nobody's business, but, I couldn't take the pain anymore honestly."

However, in his most recent interview, Asghari fondly recalled his marriage with the singer, as an 'amazing experience.'

“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.” he told People.

The fitness instructor, who stood by Britney's side throughout her battle to end her conservatorship last year, is reportedly concentrating on maintaining a 'healthy lifestyle' and advancing his career as he prepares for his 30th birthday later this month.

“I used to think people that were 30 years old were so old when I was in high school.”

“But for every person I talk to, the older they get, the more they get to enjoy life because with age comes wisdom and experiences,” he says. 

“And I think experiences in life are beautiful, so that's something that I'm just super excited to just be fulfilled with.”

He maintains a positive outlook on his past relationship with the star, expressing that he will always cherish that period as something 'beautiful'.

“I always have the most positive mindset about life. My experiences in life have shaped me into the man I am today.”
