Timberlake and Spears were one of the hottest couples of the late '90s and early 2000s before their split in early 2002.

In a 2017 interview with ET, Lance Bass opened up about the possibility that Timberlake and Spears could come together for a musical collaboration. 

"That would be amazing," he said. 

As for whether there's too much history between Spears and Timberlake for that to happen, Bass said they have long since put the past behind them. "I would love to see it happen, and I don't think it's not going to happen," he continued. "They're good. They're friends."
