In a previous revelation, Spears mentioned having an abortion during her relationship with Timberlake. She recalls telling Timberlake about the pregnancy and his response, saying, «He said we weren't ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.» Spears expresses her love for Timberlake and her expectation of having a family with him one day.
