In November, it was reported that she and Asghari had a “cordial” relationship and that she paid about $10,000 a month for him to live in a high-rise apartment in Los Angeles.
Britney has hired prominent divorce attorney Laura Wasserman to handle her side of the divorce settlement.
In the early stages of negotiations, both exes would no longer speak to each other, but instead communicated exclusively through their lawyers.
Originally, Sam planned to challenge the prenuptial agreement he and Britney signed, despite Wasserman being famous for her rock-solid prenuptial agreement.
The Black Monday actor is said to be considering speaking out about his experiences during his marriage to the Toxic singer, although the current state of negotiations appears to have softened him.
The two filed for divorce in August, citing irreconcilable differences.
While they aren’t at each other’s throats now, it’s unclear how much communication is happening between Britney and Sam, or how much support he can be to her in the future.

After cutting off contact early in their divorce process, sources close to Britney worried that it could have a detrimental effect on her mental health, as she had cut off most of her family members and Sam had previously been her biggest support.
Spears previously opened up about her ex in her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me.
“I appreciate how stable he is. I love that he doesn’t even drink,” she wrote of Asghari, whom she met in October 2016 while shooting the music video for her hit Slumber Party.”
The mother-of-two also told readers she “knew” she wanted him in her life “immediately.”
‘The chemistry with us was insane in the beginning. We couldn’t keep our hands off each other,” she recalls.
Moreover, she called him “a gift from God.”
