The newlyweds, who were first romantically linked after they met on set of the singer’s “Slumber Party” music video in 2016,announced their engagementlast September, months before herconservatorship was terminatedin November.
“It’s been a minute. It’s way overdue for us,” Asghari toldGMAof their wedding. “We imagined this thing being a fairy tale and it was. And we only have 50-70 people. We wanted to just celebrate and that’s what we did.”

Spears has also been supportive of Asghari’s acting career. The Iranian-American star is currently in the new filmHot Seat, alongsideMel Gibson,Shannen Dohertyand Kevin Dillon.
The movie, out Friday, follows an ex-hacker being forced to break into high-level banking institutions. And Asghari toldGMAhe’s appreciative of the spotlight Spears has given him to get roles like that.
“I didn’t really get noticed until my wife gave me this amazing platform to work with so I’m always appreciative of that,” he said. “But let’s not take away from the fact that I’ve been working hard and I was already acting. I don’t take any opportunity that I have for granted and I really try to stay positive with everything that’s happening.”

He went on to praise his wife for being his biggest cheerleader, admitting he’s learned a lot from her about navigating the business. “Just being in a relationship with someone who has achieved so much at such a young age just kind of gives me the understanding and teaches me so much about the little things I’m going to achieve, and the big things,” he said.
“I want to be able to make my children or my future children happy,” he added. “And they’ll be like, Oh that’s my dad, I want to be like my dad.' At the end of my life, I want to be able to have a great career. But more importantly, I want people to look up to me — my loved ones, my children, my wife, things like that.
