HOLLYWOOD - Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz have officially
ended their relationship after almost four years together.
The pair began dating in April 2003 after meeting at the
Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
According to Web site TMZ.com, the pair issued a joint statement
late yesterday announcing they have officially split, saying, "It
has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our
relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've spent
together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent
speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being
reported by the media.
"We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so
mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one
another."
Timberlake has been romantically linked to Scarlett Johansson after
the two were seen spending time together at an after-party for his
film Alpha Dog.
The Lost in Translation actress also stars in Timberlake's latest
music video, "What Goes Around."
