Sam Ashgari only has eyes for his belovedBritney Spears.
Asked “Britney or Christina?” Ashgari showed his loyalty to his girlfriend, while also throwing a little shade Aguilera’s way, according toE! News, who captured the dig.
“Christina who?” he wrote in response, bringing to mindMariah Carey’s infamous “I don’t know her” remark aboutJennifer Lopez.

Although the two singers, who worked together as children onThe Mickey Mouse Clubbefore breaking into the pop music scene in the late ’90s, spent years denying headlines about theirsupposed rivalry, fans have long pitted the stars against each other.
Decades later, Aguilera, 38, has spoken out about how she has nothing but love for Spears, and would love torecord a duetwith her.
“If her reps say okay… Hey, I’m down,” the “Liberation” singer revealed in September, during an appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live.
“When I was coming up, it was very obvious, you know, me and Britney were definitely… there was the Britney/Christina considered rivalry thing,” Aguilera added. “If we had social media back then, we would have probably done a song together and just squashed it.”

Spears and Ashgari first met on the set of her “Slumber Party” video shoot, and while they’re practically inseparable now, the pair almost missed out on their romance.
Although the pair hit it off on set, and even talked about going to get sushi together, it took nearly “five months” for the pair to reconnect, Spears revealed during a January 2017 radio interview.
After digging up his phone number out of her bag one day, Spears decided to take a chance and give him a call.
“I was like, ‘He was really cute, this guy was really cute,’ so I called him,” she said, adding that her boyfriend is “just a really fun, funny person.”
Meanwhile, Aguilera had a lot tocelebrate Tuesday at her 38th birthday party: Shewas nominated for two Grammysearlier in December (best pop duo/group performance for “Fall in Line” featuringDemi Lovatoand best rap/sung performance for “Like I Do” featuring Goldlink), and she is gearing up to headlineDick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Evein Times Square.
