Wait, K. Fed & Justin Timberlake Are Friends?

by Maggie Malach

Talk about an odd couple! In a new interview with Us Weekly, Kevin Federline claims that he and Justin Timberlake pal around together. Yep, that's right: Britney Spears' most famous exes are supposedly BFFs. To refresh your memory, Spears and Timberlake dated from 1999 to 2002 and she is rumored to have inspired his "Cry Me a River" ballad. Spears went on to marry Federline in 2004, although the two split in 2007. They have two kids together, nine-year-old Sean Preston and eight-year-old Jayden James.But all of that is pushed to the side following the news that all this time, the *NSYNC singer and K.Fed have supposedly been friends.

"In the beginning when [Britney and I] first got together, it was awkward and I felt bad — I felt like maybe I should have called [Justin] and talked to him," Federline said, adding, "But I didn’t have his number."

Federline, who used to be one of Timberlake's backup dancers, said things are all good now.

"We’re cool. Me and J are. I actually just went to his last show in Vegas and hung out with him, got to see a lot of old friends," Federline said. "I’m friends with all the security guys. [They're] great, they’re incredible. We’ve actually — guys that work with him have worked with us and still work with me, still to this day. You know everybody, you’re friends with everybody. And yeah, me and J are cool."

Federline even describes what he and Timberlake do when they hang out. Apparently, they are golf buddies...

"My best friend is his choreographer so we have mutual friends, and I mean, we’ve gone out golfing, we’ve hung out," Spears' ex-husband said. "You get older, you grow up, and you realize that was just a time in your life. Sh-t happens."

Thanks, Federline, for introducing the world to what might be the greatest bromance of our time. Excuse me while I sit here and imagine what it's this friendship is like.

Timberlake is known for his love of basketball, so we'd expect any BFF of his would need to play a little one-on-one with the singer.

We all know that the camera was the secret star of Chaotic. Imagine if Timberlake started sharing his inner monologue with Federline.
