A friend has gotta do what a friend has gotta do, right?

While Lance Bass officially came out in 2006, the former *NSYNC singer says he told Britney Spears nearly two years before — on her wedding night!

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Lance spoke about the short-lived first Las Vegas marriage to Jason Alexander in January 2004. It was annulled a few days later.

“It was the night that she got married the first time in Vegas to Jason. So I went up to Vegas to kind of see the craziness that was happening. And she was a little upset once she realized what she had done because, you know, it was a funny thing,” he said. “And then she started, like, really crying and, like, she was so upset.”

“And so I took her to her room and we were sitting on her bed and she wouldn’t stop crying, so I was like, ‘I’m gay,’” he continued. “And it made her stop crying… She chuckled.”

That’s what friends are for, Lance. Yes!
