"The husband thing hasn't hit me yet," Asghari said.

"It was way overdue for us," he said of their wedding. "We imagined this thing being a fairytale, and it was. And we wanted to celebrate with, you know, our loved ones, our close people. We wanted to just celebrate, and that's what we did."

Asghari credited his wife with helping to elevate his acting career.

"I didn't really get noticed until, you know, my wife gave me, like, this amazing platform to work with," he said.

"So I'm always appreciative of that. And I'm always so grateful for that."

"I don't take any opportunity that I have for granted and I really try to stay positive with everything that's happening," Asghari added.

The couple met on the set of Spears' music video for the song Slumber Party in 2016.

Asghari and Spears got engaged in September 2021, days before the singer won her court battle to end her 13-year conservatorship.

The couple announced they were expecting in April but suffered a pregnancy loss weeks before they wed in June.
