Britney Spears' memoir has already caused "chaos" for ex Justin Timberlake 's family, a week ahead of its official release.
The Oops I Did It Again singer revealed that she fell pregnant with her ex's child, but decided to have an abortion as he thought they were "too young" to have a baby. Sources have now revealed that the admission couldn't have come at a worse time for Justin, who is preparing to make a musical comeback
"Justin owns who he was when he and Britney were together, even though his personality, career, lifestyle, and personal priorities are radically different now, 20 years later," the source revealed. “This book is a nightmare for him because of how it throws the whole family into chaos. The timing stings just as much as the revelation itself."

Britney revealed the abortion in her memoir"Justin had a big fall planned with new music on deck, more work with his old friends in 'NSYNC, and of course, the next installment of the Trolls franchise, which has been a huge moneymaker for Justin over the last several years," the insider told the US Sun.

The source also admitted that it's unclear whether Justin told his wife, Jessica Biel, about the abortion from his previous relationship. They said: "I have no idea if the abortion was something he ever told Jessica about because Justin's relationship with Britney is not something he discusses with his friends.
“He's not in denial about it, but to him, this was a million years ago," they added.

Britney speaks about the difficult time in her upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me, in which she lifts the lid on her highly publicised life. In extracts of the book seen by People Magazine, Britney writes that her then-boyfriend "wasn't happy" when she told him she was pregnant. She claims he said they weren't ready to be parents, which led to her ending the pregnancy.
The pair split in 2002In extracts published in the magazine, Britney writes: "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 and Justin started dating when they were 17 and 18 back in 1999. They remained a couple until 2002.
Also in the book she pens: "I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby. 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. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father."
She added: "To this day, it’s one of the most agonising things I have ever experienced in my life."
