As the years went on, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake embarked on very different journeys, despite both being in the music industry. Timberlake was linked with four other guys to create one of the most popular boy bands ever — NSYNC — while Spears pursued a solo career. NSYNC was headlining sold out shows all over the United States, and Spears was left trying to find her own fanbase while recording music and making small appearances. Then, in 1998, Spears got an opportunity to head out on her first-ever tour … opening for NSYNC.
It didn’t take long for rumors about Spears’s love life to start circulating, and some fans thought that she was dating Timberlake while others were convinced that she had a thing with Lance Bass. Spears totally played coy about her personal life whenever she was asked, saying she was focused on her music career. “Overseas they say it’s Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys,” she joked to Rolling Stone in 1999. “I have no feelings at all.”
But everyone knows that was an outright fib, as the couple later revealed that they had made it official before her “…Baby One More Time” album was released in 1999. Spears and Timberlake kept their romance quiet for a bit, but made things public at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. From that point forward, the two were inseparable. Photos of them together covered magazines, and their relationship became the epitome of young love in Hollywood.
