Britney Spears has been reminiscing about her past relationship with Justin Timberlake as she admitted "she's learning".
The 41-year-old Princess of Pop took to Instagram on Tuesday to share some throwback snaps of herself playing basketball with her ex-boyfriend, who she dated from 1999 until 2002.
In the now-deleted post, Justin and Britney donned matching basketball kits as they participated in a charity game back in 2001.
"When we used to shoot hoops TOGETHER … that’s when miracles happened," Britney captioned her post.
She added a cryptic message about being "cast out", writing: "I came out of my mom’s stomach just like we all did !!! Psss … why always cast me out ??? I’m equal as all !!!"

The post comes as Britney also shared a message about learning to love yourself.
The singer posted the words "She's learning (I'm she)" and wrote: "I wonder what attention feels like !!!
"Not the kind where you’re on defense, but the kind where you learn to sink into your bones and love yourself !!!"
Britney turned off comments on the post.
She also shared a teaser video after getting a new tattoo on her arm.
In the clip, posted on her Instagram account, the Baby One More Time hitmaker danced around her hotel room before an artist started tattooing her arm.
