"We only had like 50-70 people. We wanted to just celebrate and that's what we did," Asghari said.

The wedding came nearly seven months after a judge ruled Spears could be released from her conservatorship. The pop star was placed under a conservatorship led by her father Jamie Spears beginning in 2008.

"It hasn't hit me yet," the actor said when asked how it felt to call Spears his "wife." "The husband thing hasn't hit me yet."
Asghari has been expanding his acting career and stars alongside Mel Gibson in "The Hot Seat." The film will premiere on July 1.

"But let's not take away from the fact that I've been working hard and I was already acting. I don't take any opportunity that I have for granted."
"I really try to stay positive about everything that's happening."
Spears' storied pop career is an inspiration for Asghari.

"Just being in a relationship with someone who has achieved so much, so many great things, at such a young age kind of gives me the understanding and teaches me so much for the little things I'm going to achieve, or the big things," he explained. "God knows what. It's up to me."
