By admitting she had an abortion, Britney Spears jeopardized the marriage of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
The singer admitted that she had an abortion from her boyfriend in 2000. Britney Spears’ revelations have added tension to the relationship between Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel.
Britney and Justin dated from 1999 to 2002. In 2000, at the age of 19, the singer had an abortion from her boyfriend. According to the 41-year-old star, she dreamed that she and Justin would eventually have a family, but the pregnancy came too early when they were not ready for it.
Timberlake never talked about it — he hoped it would remain a secret for the rest of his life.
Spears’ revelations in her memoirs, The Woman in Me, hurt the 42-year-old actor and singer. Justin is married to Jessica Biel and the couple has two sons, 8-year-old Silas and 3-year-old Phineas. The 41-year-old actress was shocked by Britney’s stunning revelations.
“Justin acknowledges who he was when he and Britney were together. But his personality, career, lifestyle and priorities have changed radically 20 years later. This book is a nightmare for him because it throws the whole family into chaos,” the insider said.
The timing was also unfortunate — the artist has reunited with friends from NSYNC, he is preparing a new album, as well as the release of the next part of the Trolls franchise. However, Justin is not going to issue an official denial.
“I have no idea if he told Jessica about the abortion because Justin’s relationship with Britney is not something he discusses with his friends. He doesn’t deny it, but for him it was a million years ago.
I don’t think Justin is going to publicly dispute any of Britney’s statements, simply because that’s not his style. But he may be forced to do so by circumstances. Justin closed this chapter in his life, and now Britney is putting it out in front of everyone again,” said a friend of the “Time” star.
Timberlake made a conscious decision not to get involved in the drama surrounding Britney’s life in recent years because he is at a different stage in his life. It’s a difficult time for him and his wife, but he’s sticking to his usual strategy of just letting things be.
“Justin just wants to be a middle-aged dad and has no desire to relive the drama and darkness that surrounded him in his 20s. He loves being a father more than he ever thought he would during his time chasing fame and platinum records.
I hope Britney’s book doesn’t ruin what Justin has built with Jessica. If they really stick together, they can get through this,” The Sun quoted a source as saying.
At the same time, the winner of nine Grammy awards is trying not to be offended by his former lover, who found herself in the spotlight with the release of her memoirs. “She has been through hell and should be applauded for her courage. But it also reopens old wounds that Justin assumed had long since healed,” the insider added.
