He reveals the pair have not talked since they broke up

Justin Timberlake has appeared on US TV and revealed that he has not spoken toBritney Spears since the pair broke up seven years ago.

The singer appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show today (September 19), and when asked what he thinks is going on with the recently-troubled Spears, Timberlake replied:

“I don’t know to be honest, I haven’t spoken to her in years.There’s no ill will, I have nothing but love for her.”

“It’s funny because we dated each other at a time we were teenagers,” he continued “that’s basically the best way to describe what happened to us, I think she’s a great person. I don’t know her as well as I did. We dated six or seven years ago and we haven’t spoken since. What I do know about her is that she has a huge heart and is a great person.”
