Following her conservatorship hearing Wednesday, Britney Spears jetted off to Hawaii with boyfriend Sam Asghari.
The pop star, 39, and the fitness maven, 27, met in 2016 while on the set of her "Slumber Party" music video. He served as the leading man in that video and was reportedly selected by Spears. Since then, Asghari has been a supportive partner to the "Toxic" singer.
Asghari is a "beacon of goodness and positivity" in Spears’ life, a source told Fox News on Tuesday. In addition, the trainer is said to be a consummate "protector" of Spears as she continues to navigate the woes centered on the conservatorship that has loomed over her for some 13 years.
"Sam is one of the most loyal people Britney has in her life," the insider maintained. "And ever since he’s been around Britney, [it] has really allowed him to see the real her and that has added another level of protection for Britney that she wouldn’t have if he wasn’t around."

Here are five things to know about Spears' boyfriend:
He is a former athlete
Born in Iran, Asghari left Tehran – where he lived with his mother Fatima and three sisters – at 12 years old to live with his father who had come to the U.S. a decade earlier to establish himself in the States, he told Men’s Health in 2018.
Asghari lamented the fact that he would be leaving his friends and family behind in Iran since he knew he "was moving away and never coming back."
He played high school football before heading to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he would try his hand at making the team. Asghari was cut before his freshman year and ultimately found himself studying at Moorpark College in Los Angeles, and then Pierce College, according to the publication.
He works primarily as a personal trainer
As a fitness and wellness guru, Asghari dedicated himself to losing 100 pounds, which launched his career as a go-to personal trainer.
He told Access Hollywood in a recent interview that Spears is a "machine" in the gym.

"One thing people don’t know about her is that she’s a crazy athlete, and I love that about her," he said. "She goes running for like four hours at one point, and she goes dancing for like four hours. Her stamina is crazy!"
Maui, HI - *PREMIUM-EXCLUSIVE* - **WEB EMBARGO until 11:30 AM PDT on June 26, 2021** Freedom on the horizon at last? Britney Spears looks happy and relaxed as she enjoys a couples getaway with longtime boyfriend Sam Asghai after her explosive hearing two days ago over her conservatorship. Britney has been under a conservatorship in California since 2008, the details of which she revealed in a 23 minute speech to judge Brenda Penny on Wednesday. The pop star revealed that she is being traumatized by the people who have controlled her life for 13 years. Britney alleged that her previous therapist abused his power, that her management forced her to perform for years on end without a break and that she was forced into a $60,000 a month treatment facility by her father who she claims punished her for not complying with his desires and felt like she was "enslaved" by his demands. Britney, who also revealed she is forced to use an IUD and wants more children appeared happy and relaxed as she was spotted kicking back with Sam by her side, finally getting what must be a much needed break. **Shot on June 24, 2021** Pictured: Britney Spears, Sam Asghari BACKGRID USA 26 JUNE 2021 BYLINE MUST READ: The image Direct / BACKGRID USA: +1 310 798 9111 / usasales@backgrid.com UK: +44 208 344 2007 / uksales@backgrid.com *UK Clients - Pictures Containing Children Please Pixelate Face Prior To Publication*
