Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were once the biggest couples in the music industry. Hailed as the biggest popstars of their generation, Spears and Timberlake amassed influence back then like any other couple.
With such huge fame and attention, it is expected that their split would be equally as big as their relationship. Now, Spears revealed in her new memoir that she and Timberlake had an abortion.
Britney Spears Had An Abortion Because of Justin Timberlake?
According to an excerpt from her memoir, "The Woman In Me," Britney Spears revealed that she got pregnant by Justin Timberlake during their relationship at the time. Although she wanted to be a mother, the opposite can be said about the 'NSYNC frontman.
"It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn't a tragedy. I loved Justin so much," Spears explained. "I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I'd anticipated. 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."
Per People Magazine, Justin Timberlake's team has not yet responded to Spears' claims.
Spears also added: "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." To date, Spears explained that the abortion was "one of the most agonizing things" she has ever experienced in her life.
Meanwhile, Spears welcomed her first children with her second husband, Kevin Federline - Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Spears' memoir has revealed a lot about the singer's past, including being fat-shamed and harassed by her own father, Jamie Spears. She detailed her grueling conservatorship under her father's hand and all other never-before-heard information and details about her life.

Britney Spears Fatshamed By Her Own Father?
In the same memoir, Spears also confessed that she had been body-shamed repeatedly by her own father while undergoing the conservatorship.
"I'd been eyeballed so much growing up, I'd been looked up and down, had people telling me what they thought of my body, since I was a teenager. Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back," she remembered.
Spears recalled being "made to understand" that she had to grow her shaved hair and get back in shape.
"If I thought getting criticized about my body in the press was bad, it hurt even more from my own father. He repeatedly told me I looked fat and that I was going to have to do something about it," she painfully wrote in the memoir.
