AceShowbiz - Britney Spears may have a dropped a hint about her abortion years before she opened up about the "agonizing" decision in her memoir. After she reveals in her upcoming book "The Woman in Me" that she aborted Justin Timberlake's baby in 2000 due their young ages at the time, fans are speculating that she might honor the baby she could have had with her then-boyfriend in her "Everytime" music video.
At one point in the 2004 music video, a young girl flatlines in the hospital while a woman in the next room gives birth to a healthy baby. As Britney walks through both rooms, she takes a moment to turn and look at each woman before continuing to sing about being trapped in an unhealthy relationship while grappling with fame.
"And every time I see you in my dreams I see your face, you're haunting me. I guess I need you, baby," the now-41-year-old star sings in the chorus, which many social media users claim to be about Justin's baby.
"It wasn't about Justin, it was about the baby!" a fan commented on the song's lyrics. Another agreed as writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, "The song was never about him. It was about the baby... OMG."
A third person weighed in, "The baby in the Everytime music video was the baby Britney felt forced to abort. My heart. #TheWomanInMe." Feeling sorry for Britney, another claimed, "The rumors were true, the dots are connecting, the baby at the end of the Everytime video... Britney didn't deserve this, no woman deserves this!"
Britney released "Everytime" in 2003 after Justin dropped "Cry Me a River", which music video fueled the rumors that she had been unfaithful to him. The music video for "Everytime" was released in 2004.
In an excerpt of her upcoming memoir published by PEOPLE, Britney claimed that Justin got her pregnant in 2000, but they decided to let go of the baby because he "wasn't ready" to be a father. "It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn't a tragedy," she wrote. "I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I'd anticipated."
"But Justin definitely wasn't happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren't ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young," Britney said in the tell-all, which will hit bookstores on October 24.
