Spears to reunite with Timberlake?

Britney Spears will reunite with Justin Timberlake at a family barbecue in the summer, say reports.

According to Life & Style, the pair, who dated between 1998 and 2002, have agreed to meet at a low-key gathering.

Spears's father Jamie is keen for the popstar to speak with his daughter and help her recover from recent mental health troubles.

A source said: "Jamie reached out to Justin and asked if he'd be willing to come over to Britney's house to talk to her face-to-face, and Justin said yes."

"Jamie's hoping that by finally seeing him, she'll be able to get some real closure, some resolution. He thinks that might be a huge help to her."

Timberlake recently mocked Spears at Madonna's induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Speaking at the ceremony, he said: "There have been a lot of wannabes, I may have even dated a couple of them."
