Singer Britney Spears has made some shocking revelations in her upcoming memoir ‘The Woman in Me’.
Spears shared that she underwent an abortion during her relationship with Justin Timberlake.
The pop star describes the pregnancy as a ‘surprise’ but not a ‘tragedy.’
Sharing her emotional journey, she said, ‘I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I'd anticipated.’
Spears added that Timberlake did not share her enthusiasm for parenthood at that time. ‘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 said.
Spears mentioned that the decision to undergo an abortion was not an easy one for her.
‘I'm sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby. 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 said.
Sharing the profound emotional impact the decision had on her, Britney Spears said, ‘To this day, it's one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.’
Britney Spears shares two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
The singer is set to release her memoir on October 24, 2023.
The memoir ‘The Woman In Me’ promises to unveil her remarkable journey and the enduring power of music and love.
Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, is publishing the memoir, which will provide an intimate look into her life and her perspective on her tumultuous past.
