Sag Harbor is a coastal village in the Hamptons, around 100 miles (160 kilometers) from New York City. In the summer, it is a hotspot for wealthy visitors.
A young Timberlake was a Disney Mouseketeer, where his castmates included future girlfriend Britney Spears.

As an actor, Timberlake has won acclaim in movies including” The Social Network” and “Friends With Benefits.”
He has won ten Grammy awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards.
Last year, Timberlake was in the headlines when Spears released her memoir, “The Woman in Me.” Several chapters are devoted to their relationship, including deeply personal details about a pregnancy, abortion and painful breakup. In March, he released his first new album in six years, the nostalgic “Everything I Thought It Was,” a return to his familiar future funk sound.
Timberlake has two upcoming shows in Chicago on Friday and Saturday, then is scheduled for New York’s Madison Square Garden next week on Tuesday and Wednesday.
