Justin Timberlake is opening up about his famous exes Jessica Biel and Britney Spears in the latest Vanity Fair issue.
Inside the July cover, featuring Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Friends With Benefits star talks lovingly about his most recent ex-girlfriend, Jessica, and how he really values his relationship with her, to this day.
“She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life,” Timberlake said about Biel. “In my 30 years, she is the most special person, O.K.? … I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me — for instance, her.”
Timberlake seems to currently have family on his mind and says “as little as six months ago I wouldn’t have even thought about that, but now it feels like a closer planet orbiting around.”
But he’s no fool to the difficulties of marriage and staying together long term.
“I think the mistake is that people commit to who that person is right then and not the person they’re going to become. That’s the art of staying together, is changing together,” he says. “When you say it like that, it seems damn near impossible, right?”
For all his relationship wisdom now, he speaks well of Britney and while they were such a hot couple, they haven’t spoken in close to a decade.
“I wish her the best—that goes without saying. We haven’t spoken in 9 or 10 years,” Timberlake revealed. “We were two birds of the same feather—small-town kids, doing the same thing. But then you become adults, and the way you were as kids doesn’t make any sense”
“I won’t speak on her, but at least for me, I was a totally different person,” he says. “I just don’t think we were normal; there was nothing normal about our existence. We spent way too much time being the biggest thing for teenyboppers.”
