The End of Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz: A Closer Look at Their Breakup
When discussing famous celebrity pairs of the ’00s, Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake always come to mind. According to PEOPLE, Diaz met Timberlake at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in April 2003, and by July of that year, she was joining him on tour with Christina Aguilera.
However, their love story came to an abrupt end in early 2007, shocking fans worldwide. Despite appearing to be the perfect match, their relationship just couldn’t last. But what caused the breakup of two of Hollywood’s most beautiful stars?
A look at Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake’s split
Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake seemed to have a wonderful relationship filled with mutual support and excitement. They were often seen together at various events, from sports activities to surfing, traveling, and partying. They supported each other at their events, both in the audience and on the red carpet. In 2005, rumors of a wedding circulated when Diaz was spotted house-hunting and wearing a ring on her left hand.
The details of their breakup remain a mystery, but there are many theories floating around. One claim suggests that Scarlett Johansson’s involvement in Timberlake’s music video in 2006 strained their relationship. Us Weekly reported that Cameron was jealous and couldn’t believe Timberlake included Johansson in the video. There were even rumors of Timberlake and Johansson getting together after the video.
Johansson addressed the rumors in Seventeen, stating that in today’s world, two famous single people of the opposite sex are bound to be linked together. Timberlake later married Jessica Biel, putting an end to the tabloid rumors.
Speculations also suggest that Timberlake’s relationship with Biel may have contributed to his breakup with Diaz.
Just a week after announcing their split in January 2007, Timberlake and Diaz were seen in a heated exchange at Prince’s Golden Globes after-party. People described a 40-minute intense face-off between Diaz, Timberlake, and Biel. Timberlake denied any immediate wedding plans in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, joking about marriage and commitment.
