#17: Britney Spears Reveals She Had an Abortion During Her Relationship With Justin Timberlake
In her 2023 memoir The Woman in Me, Britney Spears finally shared a deeply personal truth about her relationship with Justin Timberlake. She revealed that she became pregnant while they were together and chose to have an abortion after he told her they were too young to start a family.

Spears wrote that the pregnancy wasn’t a tragedy to her at all. She loved Justin and imagined having a family with him someday. The decision, she said, wasn’t what she wanted and was shaped by his certainty that he didn’t want to be a father. She later described the abortion as one of the most agonizing experiences of her life.
