Britney Spears admitted to a friend that her fiance Sam Asghari used to be on her payroll as a chef.

The pop superstar, 40, and Sam, 27, revealed in September last year that they are engaged to get married after dating for over four years.

Some fans have long speculated that the Iranian-born fitness model and actor was at one point employed as a cook by the iconic singer, The Sun reports.

According to a source, Britney was open about having had her beau on the books but insists that is no longer the case.

The insider told The Sun: “Britney told a friend that she used to pay Sam a salary as her chef but she doesn’t employ him anymore.

“Some fans have this impression that Sam is in it for the money but Britney said it is not like that at all.

“She sees Sam as the one and is incredibly proud of how far his come since he first came to America as an immigrant from Iran.”

The source continued: “Britney rejected any claim that Sam is just another contract she has got herself into or taking advantage of her to cash checks, despite having worked for her before.

She was very, very clear about that.”

The Sun reached out to representatives for Britney and Sam for comment but did not hear back.

Chef sam?

Speculation has been rife online for some time over claims that Sam worked as a chef or bodyguard for Britney before they started dating.

Some in the #FreeBritney movement against her now-terminated mental health conservatorship circulated fake court documents stating that he was her chef in 2020.

The court document the fake was based on was redacted but stated that health and fitness obsessed Britney’s chef was getting paid $US500 ($A700) per day and working five days a week.

The document filed in court in October 2020 because at that time Britney’s expenses needed to be approved by her conservators and cleared with the court.

It is not known if Sam would still have been working as Britney’s chef by that time.

‘Cook for your girl’

Britney posted an Instagram video of Sam cooking for her in August 2019 which fuelled speculation about his role in her household.

Meanwhile Sam shot a clip for The Doctors TV show in September that year revealing his recipe for Britney’s favourite dish, peach steak.

Offering a tip to viewers, Sam said in the segment: “Gentlemen, if you want some props, definitely cook for your girl.”

He also revealed that before working as a personal trainer he had been a cook during his high school days.

Sam said: “I used to cook almost 300 meals a day. A lot of it was steak. So that’s why I love steak.”

Britney and sam

Britney and Sam first met on the set of her Slumber Party music video in October 2016.

After they began dating he became a fixture among the audience during her Piece of Me residency in Las Vegas.

And he supported her after she spent 30 days in a mental health facility in spring 2019.

The Sun revealed earlier this week that Britney had told a friend that she got engaged to Sam over Christmas of 2020 but kept it a secret until after her dad Jamie called for an end to her conservatorship in September last year.

Britney’s love history

Britney has been married twice before getting engaged to Sam.

She was wed to childhood friend Jason Alexander for 55 hours in 2004 after the pair tied the knot in Las Vegas.

The famous entertainer later wed backup dancer Kevin Federline and had sons Preston and Jayden with him before the couple divorced in 2007.

All of this comes as Britney continues to feud with her younger sister Jamie Lynn.
