Britney Spears is revealing more information about her former relationship with Justin Timberlake.
TMZ reveals that in Spears’ upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me, that Timberlake cheated on her with another celebrity. The outlet reports that Spears does not name the celebrity by name in the book, but that Spears “doesn’t want to embarrass” that person because they have a family now.
Spears and Timberlake dated from 1999 to 2002. After their breakup, Timberlake released his hit song “Cry Me a River,” which is alleged to be about his relationship with Spears.

The news of Timberlake allegedly cheating with another celebrity during the time he dated with Spears comes after the Princess of Pop shared that she had an abortion in the early 2000s.
“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 wrote in her book, according to People.
“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,” she continued.
Spears went on to call the decision to have an abortion as “one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”
After the excerpt was shared by People, many fans began to theorize that Spears’ song “Everytime” was not actually about her breakup with Timberlake, but was about her unborn child. However, Spears has not confirmed if it was true or not.
The Woman in Me will be released on Oct. 24.
