Did Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera date?
Did Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera date? In the words of Christina’s own mother Shelley on the “Beautiful” singer’s website at the time, “There is only a working relationship, not a romantic relationship.”
Though the two worked together in their co-headlining tour in 2003, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera did not date. Though Christina did say that Britney was Justin’s “ideal mate.”
“He and Britney made a great couple. I’ve known the both of them since [Mickey Mouse Club], and they kind of had their little crushes even back then,” Aguilera told Rolling Stone in 2003. “Britney has known him for such a long time, too —before he was Justin Timberlake, the star, when he was just Justin, the kid on the Mickey Mouse Club. I don’t know, I have a feeling that there’s going to be some reconciliation. I know that they talk and everything, and it’s cool. I don’t think it’s over.”
Justin also had a say in the dating rumors. “We’ve been rumored to have had a romance, which is so far off. We’re two people who are just very platonic,” he said. “You know, I can’t say that we’re the best of friends, we don’t hang out all the time, but that’s more or less because of what we do, and the schedule is so crazy.”
In an episode of Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, Christina confessed about all the crushes when everyone was on The Mickey Mouse Club. “There were definitely crushes, but…I wasn’t on the train,” Christina laughed. James then asked: “What train were you on? Were you on the Timberlake train?” The Burlesque actress then admitted, “He had swag, I have to say. Even back then, he had swag.”
She then addressed the rumors of her feud with Britney at the start of their careers. There was me and Britney — well now, you know — there was a thing back then,” she recounted. She also said that Britney may “be regretting” dating Justin because “I know Ryan [Gosling] pretty much…he did have a crush on Britney.”
