Sam Says He’s Lost 40 Pounds Being Single
“So, in the past five months I’ve had a little transformation which was losing about a good 35 to 40 pounds,” Sam explained. “Sometimes when you are in a situation that you don’t get to necessarily focus on yourself, it could be challenging for you to notice [your physique changes] but everybody else does.”
Sam’s weight loss was noticeable during a recent public appearance on December 13. He looked slender in a grey suit while walking the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of Finestkind. Even Sam’s face looked more svelte, as he trimmed back his thick beard to reveal his jaw.
Sam didn’t provide a lot of detail on his ongoing divorce from Britney while speaking to Page Six. The estranged couple are reportedly still trying to settle the terms, despite having a strict prenup in place. There’s been speculation Sam is trying to secure a bigger payout than the prenup entitles him to (which his apparently little, given that they were married for a little over a year), though he’s denied the claims.
“I have more time for myself to focus on myself,” Sam told Page Six, adding he’s gone through a “spiritual” and “energy” shift.
“Being by yourself and alone is a really good opportunity to focus on yourself,” Sam went on, adding that his transformation shouldn’t be seen as an attempt to get back at Britney. “[It’s] not necessarily a revenge body, but a self-love sort of thing,” he explained.
“Sometimes you get too focused on yourself,” Sam added. “Self-love is something everyone should practice.”
Sam Denies That He’s Dating Anyone New
The publication went on to ask Sam about his current dating status, but the Iranian native said there’s not much to tell – he’s been focusing on his career not love life since break-up with Britney.
“I’m focusing on work at the moment,” Sam, who currently stars in Special Ops: Lioness, explained. “I definitely won’t be joining any dating apps any time soon. That’s for sure.”
How Britney Spears Is Adding To Her Current $70 Million Net Worth
After "Baby One More Time" and "Oops! I Did It Again" came out, Britney was becoming a huge star, and she started making serious cash.
For her part, Britney was linked to one of her former employees shortly after Sam’s divorce filing. The alleged couple parted ways quickly after the ex-staffer’s criminal history was exposed as well as reports began popping up, alleging Sam broke up with Britney amid concerns she was cheating with employees – something she’s denied.
Britney hasn’t commented on Sam’s recent body transformation, but she did reflect on her failed relationships in an Instagram post shared earlier this month, making a reconciliation between her and Sam seem less likely than ever.
