Britney Spears wrote that she had an abortion while dating Justin Timberlake more than 20 years ago, according to a peek inside her hotly anticipated memoir. “If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it,” she writes of the procedure, according to the excerpt from “The Woman in Me” published in People magazine. “And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.”
The pregnancy “was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy,” she wrote in the excerpt, saying that she had wanted to start a family with Timberlake — it was just earlier than expected.
“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,” she wrote. The couple broke up in 2002. It’s unclear when the pregnancy happened.
Representatives for Spears declined to offer further comment. Representatives for Timberlake did not respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. The AP has not been able to independently review a copy of the “The Woman in Me” yet.

Britney Spears, Sam Asghari file for divorce after 14 months of marriage
Britney Spears’ husband Sam Asghari has filed for divorce after 14 months of marriage with the pop star due to ‘irreconcilable differences’. Sam has alleged that Spears cheated on him as reported by TMZ, after which he proceeded to confront her and then walked out of the door. The estranged couple have kept most details secret, but reportedly the two got into a huge fight after which Sam decided to file for divorce and is now living in a place of his own. TMZ further reported that Sam is asking for her to pay spousal support and attorneys fees, but his filing stated that he “has yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of each party.”
There’s been some “deep trouble” brewing between the couple after their star studded marriage for months now.

Britney Spears gets nostalgic about childhood
Pop icon Britney Spears recently looked back at her childhood and compared it with kids growing up today. The 39-year-old singer took to Instagram today and reflected her hopes that “children realize there is way more to life than technology.” “Nowadays I feel like kids are very protected … there are crazy people out there … but there is a sense of loss and curiosity in children’s eyes cause everything is technology-driven,” she explained.
Spears commenced her lengthy post by recalling visits to her cousins’ ranch as a young girl, where she and her cousins would play outside and let their imaginations run wild. “If you lived on a ranch in the south growing up … which I never did … most kids play outside !!!! My cousins lived on a ranch and we would usually play outside but of course we always found our way back inside to build playhouses or playhouse for hours with our dolls !!!!” the Toxic singer wrote.
Although she was born in Mississippi, Britney was raised in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana with her older brother Bryan and little sister Jamie and their parents, Lynne and Jamie. She continued: “I feel like our parents let us roam more freely when we played outside because we all knew each other and it was such a safe area. The whole neighbourhood would hang out at my house … sit on the bar stools lined up playing video games … and most of them were in high school when I was a little and I was always begging for their attention because I didn’t know how to play video games!!!”
