Britney Spears Thanks Boyfriend Sam Asghari for His Support Through the ‘Hardest Years of My Life’

Britney Spears might be going through “the hardest years” of her life, but it sounds like she has a pretty good partner to lean on. On Wednesday (Aug. 25), Spears took to Instagram to praise her boyfriend of five years Sam Asghari — while also jokingly calling him a “cute a–hole.”

“Not only has this cute a–hole been with me through the hardest years of my life but he happens to be an extremely good cook!” she wrote in the caption. “Fast & Furious franchise, don’t miss out on your next star!!!!”

Asghari was in on the joke, responding in the comments with a cry-laughing emoji: “Yes … F that a–hole.”
