Britney Spears Meets Lance Bass' Twins and Declares Them "New Aunties"

[Britney Spears meets the Lance Bass twins and calls herself "the new auntie." (Spears was a pop princess in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and Bass was one-fifth of 'N Sync, which included Justin Timberlake, who was dating Spears at the time. Following that?)

Spears shared a photo of herself face-to-face with Bass' 20-month-old twins, Violet Betty and Alexander James, whom she shares with husband Michael Turchin." They are absolutely gorgeous babies!" Spears wrote. Along with Spears, Bass, and the twins, there was also a photo of Spears' husband Sam Asgari. This comes a month after Bass revealed that his initial plan to introduce the babies to Spears had failed, Page Six reported.

Bass said on her podcast Frosted Tips that Spears was "approached through her people" with the intention of "meeting the kids and stuff." But her team "stopped" that, he said.

"You have to talk through people. It's very odd." [Spears may not be the twins' biological aunt, but she and Bass are in fact related, People reports, as they are sixth cousins and once blood relatives.

"Are you kidding? Bass said on an episode of Ancestry's 2 Lies & A Leaf series in 2021. 'This is amazing. I wanted to be related to the Queen. Yes, now I'm related to the Queen of Pop!"

Both have Southern roots: Bass is from Laurel, Mississippi, and Spears was born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana. I feel like she's my sister, and she's always been my cousin," Bass said. She's always been my cousin," Bass said. She's very cool. I don't know why I've always felt like family, even when I was a kid. I mean, this means a lot to me. She's like family to me, so it's awesome to have that blood connection."

In addition to her work as an auntie, Spears is preparing to release her memoir, The Woman in Me, due out October 24. According to a press release from her publisher, Gallery Books, the memoir will reveal "for the first time the incredible journey (and strength at its core) of one of the greatest performers in pop music history." The book "illuminates the enduring power of music and love, and the importance of women telling their own stories in their own words."
