Justin Timberlake was spotted for the first time since ex Britney Spears made explosive revelations about him in her memoir The Woman In Me – as he recently flew to Cabo for a family vacation.
The 42-year-old singer, who was forced to turn off his Instagram comments after heavily trolling Spears, appeared to be in good spirits as he arrived via private jet just days after the release of his ex’s tell-all novel.
When Timberlake exited, he was wearing a white T-shirt, sweatpants, a baseball cap and sneakers.
He was seen holding his three-year-old son Phineas as he got into a car – he is also father to son Silas, eight, with wife Jessica Biel, 41.
The star was seen amid a tumultuous few weeks, with Spears revealing she had an abortion through him because he “didn’t want to be a father” and claiming he cheated on her during their three-year romance from 1999 to 2002.
While Timberlake has not publicly responded to any of the claims Spears made in her book published Tuesday, he has disabled Instagram comments.

A source told Page Six that the decision was made because of the “hateful, vile things people were saying,” which comes days after sources claimed he was “not happy” with Spears’ revelations in the book.
Timberlake didn’t post anything on his Instagram for almost a month when his reunion song with NSYNC – Better Place – was released on September 29th.
The singer and actor posted a short video with his NSYNC bandmates – JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick – discussing their new song.
Britney claims in the book that she had an abortion when she was just 19 because he wasn’t ready to be a father at such a young age.
“It was a surprise, but for me it wasn’t a tragedy. “I loved Justin so much. “I always expected that one day we would start a family together,” Britney wrote.
“That would just be a lot sooner than I expected.” But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. “He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lifetime, we were way too young,” she added.
“If it had been left to me, I would never have done it.” And yet Justin was so sure he didn’t want to be a father,” she added.
“To this day, it is one of the most excruciating things I have ever experienced in my life,” Spears writes of the abortion.

Britney’s book: While Timberlake hasn’t publicly responded to the claims Spears made in her book released Tuesday, he has disabled Instagram comments
Earlier this week, a source told Chron: “Justin hasn’t contacted Britney at all about this matter and won’t because he can’t tell her anything.”
“She was there and is just telling it from her perspective,” the source added.
“That doesn’t mean he agrees with it.” “Justin is not at all happy with what came out of this book.”
They added: “Working on this book has brought Britney to life, and she really doesn’t care who is offended by anything in it, because that’s exactly what happened.”
“She was there and experienced it.” Nobody can say anything. She’s gotten everything out of herself and is now moving on.”
A second insider claimed the “baggage” of Britney’s memoir was “stressful” for Justin and his wife Jessica, whose October 19 wedding day was overshadowed.
Michelle Williams’ narration of the tome also went viral, largely due to her mocking impersonation of Timberlake doing an accent to impress black musicians.
In the book, Britney accuses Justin of trying “too hard” to fit in with black musicians during his time with *NSYNC.
She recounted one such incident in 1999 when they met R&B singer Ginuwine – which prompted Justin to speak with a “Blaccent”, which Britney clearly found inauthentic.

A “blaccent” – a combination of the words “black” and “accent” – occurs when a non-black person imitates black English, also known as African American Vernacular English (AAVE).
Speaking about the encounter with Ginuwine, she continued: “A guy with a huge, bloodied medallion came up to us. He was flanked by two huge security guards.
“J was very excited and said so loudly: “Oh yes, fo shiz, fo shiz! Ginuwiiiiiiiine! What’s wrong, homie?”
She continued: “After Ginuwine left, [Spears’ personal assistant] Felicia did an impression of J… J wasn’t even embarrassed. He just took it and looked at her like, “Okay, fuck you, Fe.”‘
