Britney Spears’ boyfriend ‘looking forward to a normal, amazing future ’

- PETER SBLENDORIO

Britney Spears isn’t alone as she deals with the fallout from a controvers­ial documentar­y about her life.

Her boyfriend, Sam Asghari, voiced his support for the singer following last week’s release of “Framing Britney Spears,” which addresses the control her father holds in their conservato­rship arrangemen­t and her highly publicized relationsh­ip with Justin Timberlake.

“I have always wanted nothing but the best for my better half, and will continue to support her following her dreams and creating the future she wants and deserves,” Asghari told People Monday. “I am thankful for all of the love and support she is receiving from her fans all over the world, and I am looking forward to a normal, amazing future together.”

Celebritie­s such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler have shared their support for Spears on social media, tweeting the hashtag #FreeBritne­y following the debut of the documentar­y last Friday on FX and Hulu.

Spears, who rose to fame as a teen in the late 1990s with hits such as “... Baby One More Time,” has not specifical­ly commented on the documentar­y. The pop star did appear to give a subtle nod to the situation in an Instagram video Monday.

“The moment we’ve all been waiting for last week: the Super Bowl!” Spears said in the video. “I was so excited, but honestly, I was rooting for Kansas City, but I was also rooting for the other team, so it was a little confusing for me.”

She concluded the video by saying, “I love sharing.”

Spears and Asghari have been dating since 2016.
