Samâs father, Mike, first came to Los Angeles to make his wife and childrenâs lives better. He worked as a tow truck driver and tried to make his family join him sooner in the States.
At the age of twelve, Sam moved to Los Angles, United States, from Iran with his father, leaving his mother and elder sisters in Tehran. In an interview with Forbes, he talked about his immigration and said,
I left three of my sisters behind, my mom behind. My dad was out here in America and I hadnât seen him in about five years or so. It was definitely a culture shock, coming out here with a completely different language to speak. I didnât speak a word of English and it was a weird age where I was finally so comfortable with my friends and [I had to] leave them behind to start a new life. So when I got out here, it was very different but I always had a positive mindset. I always knew that I was coming to a country where opportunity was the equivalent to gold.â
His mother and sisters joined him and his father later in the States.
After he came to Los Angeles, his interest shifted from soccer to American football. While studying in high school, he was a part of his schoolâs American football team, which competed in the California Interscholastic Federation Championships twice.

When questions over Britney Spearsâ mental health were raised in 2008, she was put under conservatorship by her father (Jamie Spears) and attorney (Andrew Wallet). The conservatorship allowed the two complete control over her assets and personal life. Andrew Wallet resigned as Britneyâs co-conservator in March 2019.

Now itâs important for people to understand that I have zero respect for someone trying to control our relationship and constantly throwing obstacles our way. In my opinion Jamie is a total dick. I wonât be going into details because Iâve always respected our privacy but at the same time I didnât come to this country to not be able to express my opinion and freedom.â
