Justin and Britney met each other as kids when they were both Mouseketeers on “The Mickey Mouse Club.” 

Britney says they quickly connected and he kissed her at a sleepover during a game of Truth or Dare. 

The two eventually began dating in 1999 and Britney Spears considered Justin Timberlake to be the love of her life.

In the memoir, Britney writes:

It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated.

But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.

Britney admits in the book, “If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.

The decision to terminate her pregnancy still weighs heavily on her heart. 

To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life,” Britney wrote.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake intimately ended their relationship in 2002.
