Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake could have had a child together. In her autobiographical book “The Woman in Me”, Britney Spears recounts having had a voluntary termination of pregnancy during her relationship with Justin Timberlake between 1999 and 2002.

After indicating that she was « surprised » to be pregnant but that it was not a tragedy, the now 41-year-old star explains why the singer, actor and dancer pushed her to abort at the end of 2000. “Justin really 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 it was the right decision. If it were up to me, I never would have done it. But Justin was sure that « he didn’t want to be a father, » explains the « Toxic » singer in his book, before describing the experience as « one of the most excruciating things I’ve ever experienced in my life. » life « .
