Justin wasn’t ready to be a dad
In an exclusive sneak peek of the book, the star talks about how she fell pregnant with the NSYNC singer’s baby. And while she was initially thrilled with their surprise news, her boyfriend at the time was not.
“It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. 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,” the 41-year-old writes, according to People.
“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.”

Britney, who went on to have two children with ex Kevin Federline after she split with JT in 2022, goes on to reveal that if the decision was solely hers, she would not have gone ahead with the pregnancy.
“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.
Now, the star lives with deep regret because of that decision.
“To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life,” she admits.
