Britney Spears Says Justin Timberlake Cheated On Her

Singer and actress Britney Spears and boyfriend Justin Timberlake of the group “N’ Sync” arrive for the premiere of Spears new movie “Crossroads” February 11, 2002 in Hollywood. [The film about three childhood friends on a cross-country trip opens in the United States February 15, 2002.]

She writes in The Woman In Me that he cheated on her with another celebrity during their three-year relationship. Spears doesn’t reveal the identity of the woman, writing that she is now married with kids and Spears doesn’t want to embarrass her.

It has long been rumored that cheating sparked the couple’s split in late 2002, but until now it was thought to be Britney who strayed.

Fans have long speculated that Timberlake’s solo hit, “Cry Me A River,” was about that betrayal.

The cheating bombshell follows another excerpt shared by People on Tuesday in which Britney revealed that she had an abortion after getting pregnant with Timberlake, claiming he didn’t want to be a dad.
