Colin Ferell
Colin Farrell is a well-known actor mentioned in Britney Spears’ memoir. According to the memoir, shortly after her breakup with Justin Timberlake, Britney met Colin on the set of the movie SWAT. There was no security on the set, so Britney could drive up and pop by for a visit one day.
While visiting the soundstage, the director of SWAT spotted her and asked if she would like to watch them film a scene. Colin approached, and according to Britney, they were involved in a two-week fling; they could not take their hands off each other.
Colin even took her to the premiere of the movie The Recruit, where she accidentally wore a pajama top instead of regular clothes. However, it was short-lived after she realized that she was using Colin as a rebound and was still not over Justin Timberlake.
Justin Timberlake

In her memoir, Spears revealed that she had planned on starting a family with Timberlake, but he was not ready for that commitment. She also shared that Timberlake sent her a two-word text message ending their relationship, which left her heartbroken.

In the 90s, the media pitted them against each other, making them look like rivals. In her memoir, Britney mentioned that she was surprised when Christina supported Britney and Justin getting back together in 2003, considering how negative she had been about the situation behind closed doors.
Britney complimented Christina’s ability to handle her nerves during live TV appearances. She later mentioned they often employed the same dancers and hung out together. Britney was made to remain sober under her conservatorship, while Christina indulged a bit too much for her liking.
