Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake have reconnected, reports say.

It’s said the former N-Sync singer, 40, reached out to ex Britney, 39, via her management almost two decades on from their split.

Justin recently made headlines when he said he was “deeply sorry” after documentary Framing Britney Spears shed light on his past treatment his ex-girlfriend, which had included an interview in which he’d made light of having sex with her.

The documentary explores the legalities of a conservatorship and explains how Britney’s father, Jamie, came to be in control of her finances as well as her everyday life.

It also follows the way Britney – one of the world’s biggest stars – was portrayed by much of the media.

Now it’s reported that Justin wanted to apologise personally, sorting a phone call through Britney’s management “who knew how touched Brit would be by his gesture.”

An insider told Closer magazine : “They had a long emotional phone call where he explained his behaviour is something he’s long regretted and told Brit he wanted to personally apologise and make amends, which she really appreciated.

“She told him she forgave him and said how great it would be to see him after all these years and to meet [his wife Jessica Biel] and their sons, which Justin agreed he’d love to do.”

The source added to Closer that each party’s significant encouraged the phone call to happen, reasoning both would feel better afterwards.
