Britney Spears’ former spouse has implied that she never fully moved on from her ex-partner, Justin Timberlake. In his revealing new book, titled You Thought You Knew, Kevin Federline, who tied the knot with the music sensation in 2004, disclosed shocking details about Britney’s purported sentiments towards Justin during their marriage.
In her own memoir, The Woman in Me, published in 2023, Britney shared intimate aspects of her past relationship with the renowned artist Justin, with whom she was romantically involved from 1999 to 2002.
It was reported that Britney was expecting a child with the former NSYNC member but decided to terminate the pregnancy because Justin was adamant about not wanting to become a father, a decision she described as one of the most distressing experiences of her life.
The Grammy-winning singer of Cry Me a River also featured prominently in Kevin’s book, where he alleged that Britney contacted Justin the night before her wedding to Kevin, as per reports from the Telegraph.
During an emotional conversation, she reportedly assured Justin, while in tears, that she was committed to marrying Kevin. Nevertheless, Kevin sensed that she still had unresolved feelings for Justin.
He further suggested that Britney never truly moved on from Justin, portraying him as a lingering presence in their relationship, which culminated in their official divorce in 2007. Federline likened her ex-boyfriend’s influence to that of a phantom in the background.
Britney, who shares two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, with her ex-husband, has criticized Kevin for what she perceives as ongoing manipulation in response to the claims made in his book.
Kevin also alleged that Britney would stand over their sons while they slept, holding a knife. He claimed that their children would awaken to find their mother watching them, only for her to leave without explanation.
In an Instagram post, Britney addressed what she termed as her ex-husband’s gaslighting and expressed her desire for a fulfilling life with her sons, stating that her relationship with her teenage boys is intricate.
She expressed feeling demoralized by the circumstances and lamented the lack of respect shown by their father towards her, despite her continuous efforts to involve her children in her life.
Britney vowed to assert her availability to her sons moving forward and dismissed the falsehoods in Kevin’s book as hurtful, emphasizing her enduring love for her children and her resilience against tabloid narratives surrounding her mental health and alcohol consumption.
Concluding her statement, the pop icon asserted her intelligence and her pursuit of a private life in recent years, emphasizing that she has reached a breaking point and felt compelled to speak out.
The Mirror has contacted Britney Spears’ representatives for their response.
