Spears still seemed to have some disdain for Timberlake, as in her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, she claimed the pop star convinced her to get an abortion after she got pregnant with his child during their romance.

"I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day," she recalled in the bestselling tome. "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," Spears noted. "I'm sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby. 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."
