They split up in 1997, which according to Fergie was “before he got real heavy with Britney.”

Britney Spears

Justin and Britney were involved in a 3-year long relationship started from 1999. They met while working together on The Mickey Mouse Club.

Unfortunately, they parted ways in 2002. Rumors said it was because Britney cheated on him, but Justin cooled down the rumors by saying “We’re not perfect. I don’t judge anybody. It’s just young love.”

Jenna Dewan

After his separation with Britney, he started seeing Jenna, who’s his backup dancer.

While not much is known about the relationship, she did confirm it during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in May 2017, by saying that they “dated, not that long.”

Alyssa Milano

In 2002, he dated Alyssa, who’s an actress and film producer. It isn’t known when or why they decided to part ways.

This relationship was called back by Alyssa years later during her appearance in Entertainment Tonight around September 2015, by stating she actually rooted for Justin-Britney couple because “They just seemed like the perfect match!”

Cameron Diaz

Justin and Cameron were in relationship started in 2003. Although they separated, they had on-screen reunion in Bad Teacher (2017).

It seemed like they didn’t split on bad terms as Cameron opened up during an interview with US in March 2011, by saying “we had a great time and did the job, and we do what all actors do afterward: We all go our separate ways.”

Jessica Biel

Their relationship began in 2007. They went on an on-and-off relationship.

Unfortunately, the pair officially confirmed their split in March 2011. Rumors surfaced that the break-up had something to do with Mila Kunis, Justin’s co-star in Friends With Benefits.

That being said, according to an insider’s info, the separation happened just because it’s “ran its course,” and emphasized that Mila “had nothing to do with” the decision.

In September 2010, the media reported that he had cheated on Jessica Biel with Olivia. The allegations was refuted by Justin’s rep.

Olivia Wilde

He was romantically linked with Olivia Wilde around April 2011. According to insider info, they were clearly on a date or a couple.

Later, they were seen dancing and enjoying time together in Los Angeles.

That being said, Olivia herself denied the rumors by stating that their relationship was purely platonic.

According to reports around June 2011, he was “hooking up” with Ashley. That being said, it appeared that their romance was only rumors as media clarified it.

Scarlett Johansson

Justin and Scarlett were linked multiple times, after she appeared in his What Goes Around … Comes Around (2007) music video.

As cited from a source in September 2011, they reportedly have been hooking up a few times throughout several years.

That being said, neither side has ever confirmed the rumors.

Jessica Biel

Five years after their last separation, by the end of 2011, Justin and Jessica Biel reunited and became officially engaged.

The couple tied the knot in October 2012 and they held their wedding at a resort in Italy.

Three years later, in April 2015, Jessica birthed to their first son who’s named Silas Randall Timberlake.

They reportedly welcomed a second child in July 2020, after a highly private pregnancy. This was confirmed by a close insider to media, but neither of them has addressed the

Controversies

Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Show Incident (Janet Jackson Waldrobe Malfunction)

In February 2004, the Super Bowl XXXVIII was broadcasted live by CBS from Houston, Texas. Its halftime show left a big mark on viewers due to the infamous waldrobe malfunction incident involving Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.

At that moment, Justin pulled out a section of her outfit, which caused her right breast to be exposed to the 140 million of television viewers.

Justin issued apology to Janet around 17 years later, following the criticism he received from old comments he made against Britney Spears that some perceived as misogynistic.

In his Instagram post, he admitted that he “benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism” but doesn’t want to “benefit from others being pulled down again.”

He also concluded the apology by promising to do better.
