EVERYONE knows that hooking up with a work colleague has its risks, but for musicians it seems to be the norm — especially for Britney Spears.

The 34-year-old is rumoured to be dating Sam Asghari, a backup dancer she met on set during filming for her latest video clip.

Asghari, best known for his work on Fifth Harmony’s Work From Home music video, uploaded an image of the pair enjoying a romantic dinner over Thanksgiving, sending Britney fans into overdrive.

According to The Mirror, he captioned the snap with a series of sushi emojis which suggested the pair enjoyed a Japanese themed meal together.

The picture has since been deleted from social media.

His Instagram account shows he’s a dancer and model and also works as a personal trainer for Royal Personal Training in Los Angeles.

In July 2004, the pop star announced her engagement to Kevin Federline, after a short three month relationship.

They had two sons together, Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline, before Spears filed for divorce in 2006, citing irreconcilable differences.
