Britney Spears' ex has finally reacted to the star's memoir revelation about their marriage.

Spears' The Woman in Me hit the shelves earlier this week and people have not stopped talking about it since.

The book focuses on different aspects of the singer's life including her career, her love life, and her 13-year-long conservatorship but fans were shocked to see that there were no new details about her recent divorce from Sam Asghari.

The pair called it quits earlier this year after only 14 months of marriage though they were together for almost six years prior.

The couple initially met back in 2016 when the 29-year-old personal trainer earned himself a spot as a performer in the singer's 'Slumber Party' music video. From a professional relationship, the two entertainers quickly moved to a more intimate one after getting to know each other.

However, in August, they decided to go their separate ways with Asghari citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the split.

Despite things initially being a little chaotic, with the two going back and forth in the press, it seems as though they've managed to bury the hatchet and just appreciate what they used to have.

TMZ reported at the time that the book wouldn’t include details of Spears and Asghari’s separation, as per sources "with direct knowledge." The outlet claimed that Spears gave her final sign-off to publisher Simon and Schuster back in early August, meaning she had "no right to demand any further changes" at the time of their divorce announcement.

That might explain why throughout the book, the 41-year-old consistently had nice things to say about Asghari, referring to him as a "gift from God."

"I have an appreciation for how stable he is," an excerpt from the memoir read. "I love that he doesn’t drink. He’s a gift from God. And to find out that he and I were about to have a child together made me feel giddy."

In another section, also added: "He’s such an inspiration and I’m grateful."

"The timing of the end of the conservatorship was perfect for our relationship; we were able to establish a new life together, without limitations, and get married," she wrote.

Upon hearing the kind remarks, Page Six reported that Asghari was pretty chuffed over Spears’ praise, saying: "That made me smile, to be honest. I’m freakin' proud of her, and I hope she takes over the world."

That's cute, isn't it?

Asghari wasn't the only love interest that was mentioned in the book either.

Spears also delves into the ins and outs of one of the most beautiful - and one of the messiest - relationships in pop culture history.

You guessed it - we're talking about her three-year whirlwind romance with Justin Timberlake.

Passages in the memoir describe Timberlake as the "love of her life" during their time together. Despite this deep connection and her desire to start a family with him, Spears claimed that she did get pregnant with Timberlake's baby, but the two stars decided that an abortion was what was best for them both.

Speaking to TMZ prior to the release of the book, a source close to the star revealed that "she was raised not to get an abortion," adding that both religious beliefs and family values as reasons for her initial reluctance, though she ended up going through with the procedure.

In another section, she also detailed the day he broke up with her over a two-word text after he discovered that the 'Toxic' hitmaker had cheated on him with one of her dancers.

The Woman in Me is now available to purchase.
