It’s likely that 42-year-old singer and actor Justin Timberlake started the year with a clean slate. Otherwise, his mysterious move cannot be explained: all posts with numerous comments and likes have disappeared from his account. The last time Timberlake was online was in mid-December when he and his 41-year-old wife Jessica Biel appeared at the opening of the new Fountainbleu hotel in Las Vegas. Fans suspect that the reason for the artist’s actions is the criticism he faced due to the scandalous memoir “The Woman in Me” by his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears.
Spears openly shared details about her relationship with Timberlake, which lasted from 1999 to 2002, including mentioning an abortion she had to undergo.
It was a surprise, but it wasn’t a tragedy for me, – the star wrote in the book. – I loved Justin so much. I always knew that someday we would have a family. It just happened much sooner than I expected. But Justin was definitely unhappy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready for a child, that we were too young.
Spears noted that she was ready for motherhood, but Timberlake’s stance influenced her decision.
If I had been left to my own devices, I would never have done it. Yet Justin was so sure he didn’t want to be a father. To this day, it’s one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced in my life.
In the wake of Spears’ revelations, Timberlake disabled the commenting feature on his blog on the day the book was released, October 26. An insider reported at the time that despite the details of their relationship with the pop singer becoming public knowledge, Timberlake is in a good place with his family and is focused on new music.
It was a bit hurtful that episodes from the past became public again, but Justin and Jessica are trying to be there for each other and continue moving forward, – the informant concluded.
