Justin Timberlake talks about "hurtful" Jessica Biel split

Singer, actor and all-round performer, Justin Timberlake, has spoken out about his split from former girlfriend Jessica Biel. 

In a new interview with Vanity Fair magazine, the 'SexyBack' star explained that "the art of staying together, is changing together" and admitted that just wasn't possible for them as a couple:

"I would rather not talk about her, because it's hurtful for me... She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life... In my 30 years, she is the most special person, OK?... I don't want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me - for instance, her."

Although he didn't give a definitive reason for the split after around four years of dating, Timberlake did allude to one issue in particular and added:

"I think the mistake is that people commit to who that person is right then and not the person they're going to become."
