And she is someone that can relate to that. Very few people can. It has made us both so strong.”In 2023, Spears also released her memoir, ‘The Woman In Me,’ in which she talked about the star’s influence on her life and their friendship. She cited that “It was never as wild as the press made it out to be.”Over the years, both Spears and Hilton have maintained their bond and have also actively talked about how grateful they are to one another.
