Justin Timberlake was the It guy back in the late 1990s. From his charming looks to his adventures with his band NSYNC, everything seemed to allure women to him. However, it was his iconic pairing with Britney Spears that took the land of showbiz in a storm.
The Princess of Pop and the Prince of Pop getting together was a dream pairing for a lot of fans and their shared history made the union even more desirable. Having met first while filming the All-New Mickey Mouse Club, Spears was not the only cast with a crush on the Rock Your Body hitmaker, Christina Aguilera too admitted years later that she liked Timberlake as well.

Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake all starred together in the revamped New Mickey Mouse Club 1993. Performing song covers and showcasing acting skills while just being a teenager, they spent a lot of time together as a result. Spears in her new reveal-all memoir, The Woman In Me stated,
“Being in the show was boot camp for the entertainment industry: there were extensive dance rehearsals, singing lessons, acting classes, time in the recording studio, and school in between… And quickly I connected with a boy named Justin Timberlake.”
While their friendship grew, Aguilera, while on the Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, revealed that she too was into Justin Timberlake while on the show. When Corden jokingly asked if she was on the Justin Timberlake train, Aguilera added that he had swag,
“Even back then, he had swag. There was me and Britney — well now, you know — there was a thing back then.”
Also revealing that Ryan Gosling instead had a crush on Spears, one can only imagine how different things would have turned out if Timberlake had instead ended up with the Beautiful hitmaker.
Justin Timberlake Cheated On Britney Spears Numerous Times
Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears’ relationship was one of the most talked about since both were riding high on the tide of popularity. Spears enjoying her Oops!… I Did It Again fame while Timberlake enjoying his NSYNC fame. However, despite their mind-blowing color-coordinate outfits and PDAs, Spears revealed that the Cry Me A River singer cheated on her several times while they were together in her bombshell memoir.
“There were a couple of times during our relationship when I knew Justin had cheated on me. Especially because I was so infatuated and so in love, I let it go, even though the tabloids seemed determined to rub my face in it. When NSYNC went to London in 2000, photographers caught him with one of the girls from All Saints in a car. But I never said anything. At the time we’d only been together for a year.”
Admitting that she too cheated on him (only once), the singer revealed numerous other shocking details about their relationship, including getting pregnant, which ultimately led to their break-up.
As romances in Hollywood go, this certainly wasn’t as shocking. While Spears has recently broken up with her husband Sam Asghari, Justin Timberlake might be heading for a divorce with his wife Jessica Biel.
Britney Spears’s The Woman In Me can be brought on Amazon.
