People magazine has had access to several fragments of The Woman in MeBritney Spears next memoir that will hit stores this October 24. Among the topics that the American magazine has advanced in this book is the relationship between Spears and Justin Timberlake, revealing that the couple that the paparazzi harassed during the early 2000s were expecting a child that Britney aborted.

The Princess of Pop assured that, despite being a surprise, it was not “a tragedy,” because she loved Justin enough to one day have a family together. However, the musician and later actor had the last word.

“It was a surprise, but for me it was not a tragedy. I loved Justin very much. I always hoped that one day we would have a family together. This would just be much sooner than I had anticipated. But Justin was definitely not happy about the pregnancy. “He said that we were not ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were too young,” Spears declares in her book.

Spears also confesses that if it had been up to her, she would never have undergone this process, defining it as “one of the most distressing things” she has ever experienced.

Britney and Justin’s relationship began in 1999, when they were both 18 years old. After separating from her in 2002, Spears began a relationship with Kevin Federline and in 2005 she gave birth to her first baby: Sean Preston, when she, the singer of Oops! I Did it Again was 23 years old. A year later, her son Jayden James arrived, and although Britney showed great love for them, the complicated situation to which she was subjected due to media harassment and her father’s guardianship forced the singer to distance herself from her children. and today, their relationship is practically nil.

For his part, Justin Timberlake began a relationship with actress Jessica Biel in 2007 and in 2012 they married. It would not be until 2015 that Justin welcomed his first child, Silas Randall, and his second child, Phineas, arrived in 2020. Timberlake remains married to Biel, but Britney’s new statements could cause friction in the marriage.

Days before People shared these first fragments of the book, Page Six reported that Timberlake was worried about what Britney could capture in her memoirs, and now, it is clear why.

“He is very curious to know what she will reveal about their relationship. It eats away at him from the inside,” said a source close to the American tabloid.

Despite the bad experiences that Britney and Justin had in their relationship, it seems that they do not hold any grudges. In fact, Timberlake shared a message in 2022 through his Instagram account where he tried to apologize for everything he put Britney through, considering that he could have been a key figure for the pop princess to submit to the guardianship of his father.

I deeply regret the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn or did not stand up for what was right. The industry is flawed. Prepares men, especially white men, for success. It is designed this way,” Justin wrote on his social media. “I know that this apology is a first step and does not absolve the past. I want to take responsibility for my own mistakes in all of this… I can do better and I will.”

It should be remembered that at the time it was speculated that Britney had been unfaithful to Justin, which is why the musician broke up with her in a text message while she was recording the video for Overprotected Darkchild Remix. At the time, Britney responded to the accusations in the following way: “I think everyone has a side to their story to feel a certain way… and I’m not technically saying he’s wrong, but I’m not technically saying he’s right.”.
