Happy that she’s happy! Columbus Short shared his best wishes for ex-girlfriend Britney Spears after hearing that she wed Sam Asghari.
“That’s huge. I think she’s finally gonna find her happy,” the Scandal alum, 39, told TMZ on Thursday, June 9, after a reporter told him that the Grammy winner, 40, was set to wed the model, 28. “Finding your happy is important. She found her happy.”
The Cadillac Records star claimed in his 2020 memoir, Short Stories, that he and Spears briefly dated in 2003 while he worked with her as a dancer and producer. The following year, the “Toxic” singer wed Kevin Federline, with whom she shares sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden, 15.
“Let her get her happy on,” Short continued on Thursday. “She deserves it. She entertained us for years. She gave us record after record, videos after videos, tour after tour — let the girl get her happy on.”
The Crossroads actress and the Hacks alum tied the knot on Thursday in California after five years together. “I am very ecstatic this day has come,” a rep for Asghari told Us Weekly after the ceremony. “I know he wanted this for so long. He is so caring and supportive every step of the way. I am so grateful to have Sam in my life and can’t wait for the future they will build together.”
Neither of Spears’ parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, were present at the event. Her sister, Jamie Lynne Spears, and her brother, Bryan Spears, also didn’t attend the nuptials, which took place around 8:30 p.m. PT.
There were, however, a few famous faces in attendance, including Madonna, Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore and Paris Hilton. The socialite, 41, attended with her husband, Carter Reum, and her mom, Kathy Hilton. During the afterparty, the Confessions of an Heiress author joined
