The pair dated after her public split from Justin Timberlake.
Britney Spears has made a rare comment about her fling with Irish actor Colin Farrell.
The singer referenced their brief romance in a video caption posted to Instagram.
"Last time I wore an actual nightgown out was a La Perla nightgown at a premiere with Colin Farrell,' she wrote beneath a video showing the 43-year-old as she posed in a barely-there nightie.
"I wonder why conservatorship had me wear three layers of tights for 20 years hmmm,' she added.
The pop princess dated the 48-year-old Dubliner in the early 2000s following her high-profile split from Justin Timberlake.
In her memoir, The Woman in Me, she said she was set up with Farrell through a 'club promoter friend.'
They pair met on the set of a film, and went on to have 'a two-week brawl.'
'Brawl is the only word for it,' she said, adding: 'we were all over each other, grappling so passionately it was like we were in a street fight.'
She appeared alongside him at the premiere of his 2003 film The Recruit, but admitted she was not over her ex.
'As I had before when I'd felt too attached to a man, I tried to convince myself in every way that it was not a big deal, that we were just having fun, that in this case, I was vulnerable because I wasn't over Justin yet.'
Speaking to the press at the premiere, Colin played down his relationship with Spears, saying they were 'just friends.'
"We're not dating,' he said.
"She's a sweet, sweet girl. There's nothing going on — just mates.'

The following year she wed Jason Alexander in Las Vegas before annulling their vows just 55 hours later.
Later that year she wed her second husband, Kevin Federline, and welcomed two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden.
The pair divorced after three years, following which Britney spent several years in a custody battle which was complicated by her controversial conservatorship.
The conservatorship gave others, including her estranged father, Jamie Spears, the right to make basic decisions about her finances, career and personal life.

She had a series of short-lived relationships before she began dating her third husband, Sam Ashgari after meeting on the set of a music video in 2016. The couple married in June 2022, but divorced a year later.
Asghari filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences' amid allegations of infidelity.
She began dating her housekeeper Paul Richard Soliz in late 2023, but confirmed their split by the following summer.

Elton John says 'we will not back down' in awards speech addressing AI concerns
Elton John said "we will not back down" in an awards speech where he pleaded with the UK Government to "do the right thing" by strengthening copyright protections when artificial intelligence (AI) models learn from creatives' content. The UK Government has repeatedly rejected changes to the Data (Use and Access) Bill, proposed by the House of Lords, aimed at strengthening protections for the creative sector. Peers have attempted to amend the Bill by adding a commitment to introduce transparency requirements, aiming to ensure copyright holders are able to see when their work has been used and by who. Veteran rock singer Elton, 78, who picked up the Creators' Champion Award at Billboard's Global Power Players Event on Wednesday, is among hundreds of creatives who have raised concerns over AI companies using copyrighted work without permission. In an Instagram post he thanked the US magazine for the award and said: "Supporting the next generation of British artists is one of the major driving forces in my life. "As everyone in that room was aware, the Data Bill is currently looming over our industries and the future livelihood of all artists. It is an existential issue. "Earlier this evening, the Government was defeated for an unprecedented fifth time by the House of Lords who have backed the crucial amendment to the Bill. "I am now calling on the Government to do the right thing and get transparency added to the Bill. "Administration of copyright must be transparent. And it must have an artist's full permission. These two principles are the bedrock of our industry. They must be included in the data Bill as a backstop. "Let's be clear – we want to work with the Government. We are not anti AI. We are not anti big tech. We are not against Labour. We want a solution that brings all parties together in a way that's transparent, fair and allows artists to maintain control of their work. "We will not let the Government forget their promise to support our creative industries. We will not back down and we will not quietly go away. This is just the beginning. "Thank you, Billboard. And thank you Baroness Kidron and The House of Lords for standing up for our world-beating artists, journalists, playwrights, designers and authors."
