The 30-year-old actor, who initially thought he might be overwhelmed by fame, found that the complexities of Britney's conservatorship were the most challenging part of their relationship. This comes as he shared a marriage with the Princess of Pop from 2022 to 2024 after originally meeting on set of one of her music videos.
Speaking on Kate and Oliver Hudson's 'Sibling Revelry' podcast, Sam admitted: "One of the hardest things, I think, to deal with when you go into entertainment is your parents and the people around you, and everything that happens, and everybody that comes into your life that's taken advantage - that damages you because those are the people that are closest to you."
He reflected on the vulnerability to those in one's inner circle, saying: "Usually, the people that are around you, the people that you allow into your circle, you kind of are vulnerable to them." On the detrimental effects of these close relationships, he added: "They take an advantage because they think, you know, you you owe something to them or something, which is so ridiculous. That was the most difficult and weird spiral thing that I've witnessed in my life ever."
Throughout Britney's legal battle over her conservatorship, which concluded in 2021 after allegations of abuse by her management team and family surfaced, Sam was a supportive figure. Despite their marriage ending in divorce, Sam harbors no regrets about their time together, expressing gratitude for the experience: "I'm always gonna be grateful and happy that it ever even happened."
Sam shared news of their separation in an August 2023 social media announcement. He shared on Instagram: "After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together. We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always."
