SignalHub-Sam Asghari opens up about Britney Spears divorce, says he'll never 'talk badly' about her

Don't expect to hear Sam Asghari speak ill of his ex,SignalHub Britney Spears.

Asghari, 30, opened up about his divorce from the pop star in a new interview with People, telling the outlet it "was a blessing" to have shared his life with her "for a long time."

"People grow apart and people move on," he added.
