Sam Asghari, Britney Spears’ former partner, admires a LA Lakers ring as he watches the team defeat the Utah Jazz at Crypto.com Arena

Britney Spears’ estranged third husband Hesam ‘Sam’ Asghari was among the celebs in attendance at Tuesday’s basketball game between the LA Lakers and the Utah Jazz inside the Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA.

The Iranian 29-year-old dressed his fit 6ft2in form in a black midi-sleeve pullover, matching slacks, and dress shoes as he made his way inside the 20K-seat stadium.

Sam – who became an American citizen in 2012 – flashed a peace sign and his gleaming Hollywood smile to the photographers.

Once safely inside, Asghari connected with Riley Buss-Drexel, the creative director for the LA Lakers Pride Night, who showed him to his seat.

Buss-Drexel even let the Special Ops: Lioness guest star try on a gaudy gold LA Lakers pinky ring, which he modeled before gushing: ‘Thank you for everything!’

It’s hard to believe Sam used to be a member of the ‘chunky boy friendzoned club’ and shed over 100lbs after becoming ‘very close to obese’ in his late teens.

In April, Asghari wrapped a mystery role on the Atlanta set of Paul Feig’s action-comedy Grand Death Lotto – premiering next year on Amazon – which stars Awkwafina, John Cena, Simu Liu, Seann William Scott, and Michael Hitchcock.

‘It’s an honor and an absolute pleasure to be part of this kick-a** cast,’ the Hot Seat actor – who boasts 2.9M social media followers – wrote at the time.

‘Directed by the Uber-talented @paulfeig. A big shoutout to my amazing team for always working so hard for me!’

Sam previously scored small acting gigs in Hulu’s Dollface, Showtime’s Black Monday, HBO Max hit Hacks, and CBS’ NCIS.

On the personal front, Asghari filed for divorce from the 41-year-old Grammy winner in August after just 14 months of marriage, and he did sign a prenuptial agreement.

The former fitness trainer originally began dating Britney shortly after October 2016 when she cast him as her love interest in her Slumber Party music video.

‘I have an appreciation for how stable he is,’ Spears wrote of Sam in her memoir The Woman In Me.

‘I love that he doesn’t drink. He’s a gift from God.’

On October 26, Asghari told TMZ of the semi-retired pop star’s tell-all: ‘That made me smile, to be honest. I’m freaking proud of her. I hope she takes over the world.’
