This caused many of his fans to believe that Aaliyah and Timbaland dated. The topic became controversial as the 49-year-old musician was 22 years old when he met Aaliyah who was only 16 years at the time. 

Timberland confessed in an interview with E! True Hollywood Story that he was in love with Aaliyah when he met her but fought against his feelings as Aaliyah was still a minor.
