Years ago, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were touted as one of show business's most attractive couples. Regrettably, beneath the surface, their relationship wasn't as perfect. Years later, Britney revealed that while they were a couple, she became pregnant, but Justin wasn't prepared to become a father, and his lack of readiness factored into her choice to have an abortion.

"Feeling that he wasn't ready to become a father, I felt like I had no other option." I didn't want to force him into fatherhood. Our relationship mattered a lot to me. I know some people might criticize me for this, but I chose to terminate the pregnancy. Choosing abortion was something I never expected, but in that particular situation, it's precisely what we did - Spears illuminated this in her autobiography "The Woman in Me".

The singer's shocking revelation marred Timberlake's reputation and disrupted his personal life. The backlash led him to disable comments on his social media accounts.

"For him, this book is a nightmare" because it introduces turbulence into his family life... Justin doesn't dispute what Britney claimed, but for him, "this feels like it's from a million years ago," - a source close to the artist revealed during an interview with "The US Sun."

Britney apologizes and praises Timberlake's work

Unexpectedly, Britney posted an apology on Instagram for some remarks in her book.

"I'd like to apologize for some of the statements I made" in my book. If I've upset anyone dear to me, I am genuinely sorry... - the artist writes.

Fans quickly surmised she might be referring to Justin. The singer is promoting his new single "Selfish," and Britney didn't skip its premiere, mentioning it later in her post.

I also wanted to admit that I adore Justin Timberlake's new song "Selfish". It's fantastic. And why do I find it hilarious every time I see Justin and Jimmy together??? "Sanctified" is pretty impressive as well, she wrote, alluding to her ex's appearance on Jimmy Fallon's show.
