Who dated Britney Spears?

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer. Referred to as the "Princess of Pop", she has had a significant cultural impact on music in the 21st century, having been recognized as one of the first musicians credited with reviving the teen pop genre. She is known for her stage performances and for exploring genres ranging from pop to contemporary rhythm and blues, electropop, and adult contemporary.

Born in McComb, Mississippi, Spears developed an interest in music from an early age and began her career in 1992 as a cast member for the Ruthless! musical and the final two seasons of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club television series before signing with Jive Records in 1997. She debuted with the best-selling albums ...Baby One More Time (1999) and Oops!... I Did It Again (2000). The former album's title track became a number-one hit in the US as well as one of the best-selling singles in history. In 2001, Spears released her first self-titled album and made her film debut in Longshot before starring in Crossroads the following year. Her next two albums, In the Zone and Blackout, were released in 2003 and 2007, respectively.

Facing lifelong public scrutiny and struggles with her mental health by the late 2000s, Spears was placed under a controversial conservatorship in 2008, during which she recorded Circus that year along with Femme Fatale (2011) for Jive, and then her second self-titled album (2013) as well as Glory (2016), for RCA Records. By the late 2010s, she had performed or co-performed on more than two dozen US Top 40 songs, including the number-ones "Womanizer" (2008), "3" (2009), and "Hold It Against Me" (2011). In 2019, Spears withdrew from regular concert touring to focus on her conservatorship case, leading to the #FreeBritney movement and the release of the documentary Framing Britney Spears (2021). The conservatorship was dissolved in 2021 after she publicly testified against her management team and family for abuse. Her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, debuted at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list.

With over 150 million records sold worldwide, Spears is one of the best-selling music artists in history, with Nielsen SoundScan ranking her the fourth best-selling female album artist of their era. Forbes listed her as the world's highest-paid female musician twice in 2001 and 2012. Spears received numerous industry awards including one Grammy Award, six MTV Video Music Awards, and seven Billboard Music Awards (including the Millennium Award). Spears has launched numerous products over the years, with her 2005 fragrance Fantasy with Elizabeth Arden, Inc. generating over $1.5 billion in sales by 2011.

Dubbed the "Prince of Pop", Billboard honored him as the best performing male solo act on Pop Airplay and one of the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century.

Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Timberlake appeared on musical television shows as a child, competing on Star Search; in the early to mid-1990s, he was a cast member on the Disney Channel's The All New Mickey Mouse Club, where he performed cover songs, skits, and choreography. On the show, Timberlake met and worked with future bandmate JC Chasez, and the two later rose to prominence as the lead vocalists of the pop boyband NSYNC. The group released four commercially successful studio albums, becoming one of the best-selling boy bands of all time with sales of over 70 million units worldwide.

Timberlake established himself as a solo artist with his first two albums, Justified (2002) and FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), both of which sold over 10 million copies and received triple platinum certification by the RIAA, with the latter becoming his first US Billboard 200 chart number-one album. He further topped the chart on three more occasions, with The 20/20 Experience, The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 (both 2013) and Man of the Woods (2018). The 20/20 Experience became the best-selling album of the year. Throughout his career, Timberlake scored numerous high-charting US Billboard Hot 100 singles, including "Cry Me a River", "Rock Your Body", "SexyBack", "My Love", "LoveStoned/I Think She Knows", "What Goes Around... Comes Around", "Dick in a Box", "Give It to Me", "4 Minutes", "Pusher Love Girl", "Suit & Tie", "Mirrors" and "Can't Stop the Feeling!", which earned him an Academy Award nomination.

Wade Jeremy William Robson (born 17 September 1982) is an Australian dancer and choreographer. He began performing as a dancer at age five, and has directed music videos and world tours for pop acts such as NSYNC and Britney Spears. Robson was the host and executive producer of The Wade Robson Project, which aired on MTV in 2003. In 2007, he joined the Fox television dance series So You Think You Can Dance as a guest judge and choreographer. He won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for the dance number "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" of So You Think You Can Dance.

When Robson was a child, he was befriended by the pop singer Michael Jackson. In 1993, when Jackson was first accused of child sexual abuse, Robson, aged 10, told police that nothing sexual had happened between them. In 2005, during Jackson's trial, Robson stated under oath that Jackson had never behaved inappropriately. However, in 2013, Robson reversed his position and filed a late creditor claim and a civil lawsuit against the Jackson estate, saying that Jackson had abused him from 1990 to 1997, when Robson was aged between seven and 14. His case is currently before a California court as Robson v. MJJ Productions. He detailed his allegations in the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland.
