According to reports, Justin Timberlake was worried about what Britney Spears would say in her upcoming book. However, he didn’t think she would talk about their abortion.

The singer of “Gimme More,” who is 41 years old, dated Justin from 1999 to 2002. She said it was “agonizing” to decide to have an abortion when she was 19 because Justin “wasn’t ready to be a father.”

A source told Daily Mail that the 42-year-old SexyBack singer was “aware” that how he treated Britney in the past could “come back to haunt him.” But he had thought that the fact that they chose to end the pregnancy would stay a “secret forever.”

Justin has been criticized by fans for how he has been treated since the news came out, but he has decided not to answer to any of the claims. He also won’t say anything because he doesn’t want to “get in the way” of Britney’s chance to finally tell her story.

“Justin thought that the decision that they made was a decision made together and he intended to never talk about it and for it to be kept their secret forever. Now that Britney has mentioned it, and it will live forever in her book and whatever else she decides to mention, Justin is going to try not to say anything about it because he knows whatever he says from this point will likely be thrown back right at him,” the person said.

The singer of “Mirrors” has been married to Jessica Biel for almost ten years and has two boys with her. Their names are Silas, 8, and Phineas, 3.

A person had told Mirror before that Jessica probably didn’t know this was going on. “I have no idea if the abortion was something he ever told Jessica about because Justin’s relationship with Britney is not something he discusses with his friends.”
