Britney Spears Claims Justin Timberlake Was Unfaithful With ‘Another Celebrity’

Pop star Britney Spears just dropped another major reveal about her relationship with Justin Timberlake.

The former couple dated from 1999 to 2002, and although the breakup garnered massive media attention at the time, no one knew exactly how the relationship ended.

In an excerpt from her new memoir, “The Woman In Me,” released on Tuesday, Britney implied that the relationship ended when Justin cheated on her with “another celebrity.”

Although there have been many bombshell revelations revealed in her upcoming memoir, “The Woman In Me,” on Wednesday morning, TMZ was the first to report that Britney accuses the “Cry Me A River” singer of cheating in her new book, despite the fact that Justin’s previous comments led many to believe that Britney had been unfaithful to him.

In the book, Britney reportedly does not name the period that Justin cheated on her with, and instead refers to them as “another celebrity.” The “Toxic” singer said that the woman has a family now and she doesn’t want to embarrass her, although the outlet notes that sources might be able to connect the dots on their own.

After Justin released “Cry Me A River,” Britney followed it up with her song “Everytime.” Many thought that the lyrics were a confession that she cheated on him, as she wrote, "I may have made it rain. Please, forgive me. My weakness caused you pain. And this song's my sorry." However, looking back, fans now think it was actually an apology to her unborn child.

In an excerpt of “The Woman In Me,” released by People magazine on Tuesday, the "Stronger" singer revealed that she realized she was pregnant in late 2000. She said that Justin "didn't want to be a father" and described the experience was one of the "most agonizing things" that she has ever lived through.

“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,” she wrote in her memoir. “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 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,” she continued, adding, “To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”

Shortly after the news was revealed, fans started putting the pieces together. One scene in her "Everytime" music video features a woman holding her newborn baby. Now that fans know that she had an unplanned pregnancy with Justin, fans think that the lyrics aren't about her apologizing to her ex, but about her unborn child instead.

"oh so britney spears’ everytime wasn’t about justin timberlake but it was about the baby?!" one fan exclaimed along with a clip of the scene.

Another user shared a video of Britney getting emotional when asking to record "Everytime" again. "Britney Spears asking to record Everytime one more time because she was too emotional hits much deeper now," they wrote alongside the video.

A third fan noticed the way that the "Girl In The Mirror" singer kept touching her stomach during a live performance of the song, adding, "It all makes sense now."

Although Britney has yet to confirm that the "Everything" music video was a nod to her unplanned pregnancy, fans are hopeful they'll get more clarity when "The Woman In Me" is released on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
