In her memoir — which is set to be released on Tuesday, October 24 — Spears opens up about her personal struggles over the years. In an additional excerpt from the memoir shared by People, Spears revealed that she had an abortion while she and Timberlake were dating.
“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,” she wrote. “I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby. I don’t know if that was the right decision. 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.”
While Timberlake hasn’t addressed Spears’ bombshell claims, a source told Us that the former boy bander is “trying to distance himself” from her book while he focuses on his family instead. (Timberlake is married to Jessica Biel with whom he shares sons Silas, 8, and Phineas, 2.)
“Justin and Britney dated so long ago, and he has a whole different life now,” the insider explained. “He’s focused on his family, his career, and moving forward, and he would like to leave anything that happened in the past behind them.”

“I’ve been scorned. I’ve been pissed off. I wrote ‘Cry Me a River’ in two hours. I didn’t plan on writing it,” Timberlake wrote in his 2018 memoir, Hindsight & All the Things I Can’t See in Front of Me, about the song. “The feelings I had were so strong that I had to write it, and I translated my feelings into a form where people could listen and, hopefully, relate to it. People heard me and they understood it because we’ve all been there.”
