Timberlake and Federline bond over Britney
Pop star Britney Spears' estranged husband Kevin Federline and ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake have rekindled their friendship.
Federline was formerly a backing dancer for Timberlake, and the pair have started spending time together again.
The aspiring rapper was invited to Timberlake's pre-Grammy Award party in Hollywood on February 9, 2007, where they were photographed hugging on the red carpet.
According to American publication Us Weekly, Federline initially didn't see his former boss emerging from the venue behind him.
A source explains, "Justin walked right up and they man-hugged. It was clear they liked each other."
The two also bonded at a Super Bowl party in Miami, Florida on February 4, 2007, at a luxury suite at Dolphin Stadium.
A source says, "K-Fed and Justin were talking for at least 20 minutes. They were laughing at Britney and how messed up she is. They're both more than over her."
A friend of Spears says, "She could care less if Kevin talks to Justin or not. She just wants to be happy right now."
