Britney Spears' ex Sam Asghari lands huge TV role days after their divorce gets settled

Sam Asghari appears to be taking his mind off his divorce from pop legend Britney Spears with an exciting new TV role.

The 30-year-old hunk is among those named to take part in the third season of the US version of The Traitors.

Sam's new role comes on the heels of him and Britney settling their divorce, nine months after they announced their separation in 2023.

The Grammy winner, 42, officially ended her third marriage "amicably" last week after a judge signed completed divorce paperwork filed by her attorneys Laura Wasser and Mathew Rosengart.

TMZ reported that the couple allegedly had a prenup in place that “essentially left Sam with nothing" and this agreement "was not challenged" throughout the process.

While he and Britney aren't legally single until December 2, Sam can look forward to competing in the show alongside some big names.

Wells Adams, 40, who is married to actress Sarah Hyland, is also gearing up to head into the castle.

Real Housewives Of Dubai star Chanel Ayan, 45, and Bob the Drag Queen, 37, (real name Christopher Delmar Caldwell) are also in the line-up with Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania, 53, and Survivor winner Jeremy Collins, 46.

Robyn Dixon, 45, known for starring on Real Housewives of Potomac, is expected to appear in the highly anticipated series.

Elsewhere in the star-studded line-up is TV personality Nikki Garcia, 40, famous personal trainer Bob Harper and Big Brother stars Britney Haynes, 36, and Danielle Reyes, 52.

Fans can also expect to see Survivor star Rob Mariano, 48, Real Housewives Of New York's Dorinda Medley, 59, and Summer House' Ciara Miller, 28.
