Justin Timberlake is expected to break his silence on Britney Spears' abortion revelation, which came to light in the singer's new memoir last month.

In October, ahead of the pop superstar speaking out in her memoir titled The Woman In Me, extracts of Britney's book were unleashed, with one touching on the the difficult time Justin Timberlake, who was 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.

And now, in the latest episode of US gossip site Deux Moi's podcast Deux U, the hosts and guests discussed a potential split between Justin and his wife Jessica Biel after speculation that she was "disgusted" with what she learned about her husband from Britney's book.

"No, Jessica Biel is standing by him and not going anywhere," the host was quick to add, before dropping a bombshell about the potential and eventuality of Justin speaking out about the abortion Britney had back in the early noughties.

Reading a message from a source, the host revealed that the insider told the site: "He [Justin] will be breaking his silence eventually. His plan isn't to just ignore it. He will have his say. And that, yes, his recollection of events 20+ years ago differ quite a bit from Britney's account. But he is currently not prepared to go there.

"At some point he will be ready to talk, but how specific he gets into recounting past events remains to be seen. Many people would like to see him stay above it and not get down into the granularity of it all."

In 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."
