11 Men Who Were Lucky Enough to Date Britney Spears

Britney Spears once told Marie Claire UK that, despite her superstar status, dating can be a real challenge. But that doesn't mean she hasn't had her fair share of romances. While some of us still can't seem to let go of the young love Britney and Justin Timberlake once shared, you may have forgotten that she also dated former Hollywood bad boy Colin Farrell and even married her high school boyfriend Jason Alexander. During her "Carpool Karaoke" session with James Corden back in August 2016, the singer said, "I think I might not ever go to men again, do the whole men thing anymore, or get married. I'm just done with men . . . I'm not going to marry someone. No, I don't believe in marriage anymore." Well, it seems Britney had a change of heart, because she has since struck up a romance with one of her dancers. Keep reading for a look at Britney's former — and current — flames.

After meeting on the set of The Mickey Mouse Club as kids, Britney and Justin began dating in 1999, though they didn't go public with their romance until a year later. Sadly, the two parted ways in 2002 following rumors that Britney cheated on him with choreographer and frequent collaborator Wade Robson.

While Britney denies ever having a relationship with the Limp Bizkit singer, Fred reportedly dated Britney in 2003. During that time, Fred gushed about their romance on his band's website, saying that he had "never felt this way." However, Britney told Glamour UK that the relationship was one-sided, adding, "He's said some pretty amazing things about me, but, um, I think he leaped in too deep, too quick." In 2009, Fred opened up about their rumored romance once again, telling MTV News, "It just became a fiasco of madness . . . [But] I always stay true to my heart and true to everything I did and my intentions, and I am in no way a liar."

Six months after annulling her marriage to Jason, Britney moved on with her backup dancer, who was still married to actress Shar Jackson at the time. After dating for a few months in 2004, the duo tied the knot in a surprise unofficial ceremony — they didn't have a prenup agreement, so it wasn't official for three weeks. The pair welcomed two sons together, Jayden James and Sean Preston, and even went on to have their own reality show on UPN called Britney and Kevin: Chaotic. However, as Britney's career took a turn for the worse, the two ended up pulling the plug on their marriage and split in October 2006, though their divorce wasn't finalized until July 2007.

While in the middle of her public meltdown in 2007, Britney shocked fans when she began dating photographer Adnan Ghalib. Their relationship only lasted a year, and officially ended when Britney filed a restraining order against him, claiming he was conspiring to take control of her affairs. In 2012, Adnan testified in a trial between Britney's former manager, Sam Lutfi, and her family, claiming Britney's mother once tried to coerce him, saying, "She requested that I say [to the media] Sam Lutfi was responsible for Britney Spears's behavior." The photographer also admitted that a judge ordered him to stay away from the singer for three years.
