They were filming scene in which the singer and her manager attended a music awards event. She rocked a blue dress topped with a white denim jacket, while Peter donned a blue jacket and matching pants.
"Britney" will chronicle Britney's relationship with Justin Timberlake and how the divorce of her parents and tabloid breakup affected her. The "...Baby One More Time" hitmaker was dating the "Cry Me a River" singer from 1999 until 2002.
Nathan Keyes is cast as the former NSYNC member, Clayton Chitty plays Britney's ex Kevin Federline, Nicole Oliver stars as her mother Lynne Spears, Matthew Harrison is her father Jamie Spears, and Markian Tarasiuk plays choreographer Wade Robson.
Britney's rep stated in September, "Britney Spears will not be contributing in any way, shape or form to the lifetime biopic nor does it have her blessing."
