The 27-year-old actor started dating Britney Spears after starring in her 'Slumber Party' video in 2016 and Sam has revealed he's keen to have kids with the iconic pop star, who already has Sean, 15, and Jayden, 14, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

He shared: "My priorities in life are to remain humble and understand where I came from and where I’m going. I want to take my career to the next step when it comes to acting.

"I want to take my relationship to the next step, as well. I don’t mind becoming a father. I want to be a young dad."

Sam starred in Fifth Harmony's 'Work From Home' music video in 2016, and he almost missed out on the chance to meet Britney, 39.

He told Forbes: "I was already known on a music video, so I didn’t want to do another music video because of that.

"I wanted to do TV, I wanted to do film. My acting strategy was kind of to go away from music videos. I didn’t want to do more and be known as a music video actor, but a good friend of mine was working on a project and they referred me to the team that was picking out the leading role for ‘Slumber Party'.

"My girlfriend now at the time, personally she picked my picture and she wanted me to be cast in the music video. My friend called me and said, ‘I need you to be on it. Trust me, you want to show up.’ I didn’t know who was shooting. It was a secret project. So I showed up because of my friend. I showed up and everything just kicked off from there."
