'I haven't spoken to Britney Spears in 10 years': Justin Timberlake opens up about his teen love

Single guy: Justin Timberlake, pictured here in New York last week, has spoken about his past loves in a new interview with Vanity Fair

They were pop's teen dream couple, but Justin Timberlake has revealed he not had contact with his former sweetheart Britney Spears in recent years.
The pair split in 2002 after a three-year romance that had fans and tabloids in a frenzy.
While the 30-year-old's career has gone from strength to strength, Britney, 29, suffered a series of personal and professional disasters - including a well-documented mental breakdown.
Despite various rumours Timberlake had reached out to his ex girlfriend during her times of trouble, he insists otherwise.
'I wish her the best - that goes without saying. We haven’t spoken in 9 or 10 years,' he tells the latest issue of Vanity Fair.
'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 continues: '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.'
