“From what I know it’s because he didn’t want all of us there,” admits the former boybander, who was coincidentally vacationing in Italy at the time of the nuptials.
When
Justin Timberlake said “I Do” to
Jessica Biel on Oct. 19 in Puglia, Italy, there were four noticeable absences. Despite early reports that
Chris Kirkpatrick was on hand for the nuptials, the former boybander admits that he and the rest of his *NSYNC bandmates weren't even invited.
“I wasn’t invited to the wedding and from what I know it’s because he didn’t want all of us there,” Kirkpatrick said on the Orlando morning radio show Johnny’s House.
Kirkpatrick was coincidentally vacationing in Italy at the same time of the wedding (his birthday is on Oct. 17), where he proposed to his girlfriend, marketing rep Karly Skladany. “It’s not like we were right next door to each other,” he says of his proximity to the lavish ceremony. “We were on an island.”
The singer clarifies that there are “no hard feelings” regarding the snub, since “we were at the engagement party.”
He suggests that Timberlake opted not to invite his former group to the ceremony out of respect to the bride.
“It would be a reunion rather than a wedding,” Kirkpatrick said. “It was her day. She’s amazing so he wanted to make sure it was about her.”
That’s not to say Kirkpatrick wouldn’t still invite Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone to his own forthcoming nuptials. In fact, he “might even ask them to be in it,” he said.
