Ultimate pop couple

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were the ultimate music couple, and the iconic duo dated for over three years from 1999 to 2002.

Britney was at the peak of her early career whilst Justin Timberlake was at the height of his boy band days in NSYNC before going solo.

Their relationship ended abruptly, and Britney said the couple split as they had chosen to go in different directions.
