In a recent revelation that has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, pop icon Britney Spears has disclosed that contrary to popular belief, it wasn't Justin Timberlake to whom she lost her virginity. Instead, Spears candidly shared that her first intimate experience was with her brother's best friend when he was 17, though she refrained from revealing his identity.
This disclosure comes two decades after Spears, often dubbed the 'Princess of Pop', asserted in a 2003 W Magazine interview that she had been with "one person my whole life," alluding to her then-boyfriend, Timberlake. At that time, many fans and the media had assumed that Timberlake was the first person Spears had been intimate with. Spears had remarked, "It was two years into my relationship with Justin. And I thought he was The One. But I was wrong. I didn’t think he was gonna go on Barbara Walters and sell me out." This was in reference to Timberlake's interview with Walters on 20/20, where he seemingly confirmed their intimacy.
The celebrity couple, whose relationship was the talk of the town, dated from 1999 to 2002. Their breakup was surrounded by rumors suggesting Spears' infidelity. Reflecting on their split, Spears stated, "The most painful thing I’ve ever experienced was that breakup. We were together so long, and I had this vision. You think you’re going to spend the rest of your life together."
Years later, Spears has opened up in her memoir about her relationship with Timberlake. She admitted to dancing and sharing a passionate moment with dancer and choreographer Wade Robson in a Spanish bar while still in a relationship with Timberlake. However, Spears also leveled allegations against Timberlake, accusing him of being unfaithful with another celebrity. Despite the rumors and accusations surrounding her, Spears remained silent for years, bearing the brunt of the blame for their relationship's demise.
In a startling revelation from her memoir, Spears disclosed that she had an abortion after becoming pregnant with Timberlake's child. She wrote, "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.” She further added, "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. 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."
These revelations provide a deeper insight into the complexities and intricacies of Spears' personal life, challenging the narratives that have been constructed around her over the years.
