Britney Spears detailed that she became pregnant with Justin Timberlake’s baby while they dated and that she had an abortion because Timberlake thought they were too young to be parents.

In an excerpt of her upcoming memoir “The Woman in Me” published in People, Spears recounted the event.

“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,” Spears wrote in her book, which will be published Oct. 24. “And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.”

Spears and Timberlake dated for three years starting in 1999 when Spears was 17 and Timberlake was 18.
