That *NSYNC group chat you heard about is true, this I promise you.
After Chris Kirkpatrick revealed this week that all the former boy band members have a group text, Joey Fatone dished to Page Six about what’s going on inside the chat.
“The last one was me saying, ‘Happy Fourth, guys,'” the singer-turned-hot-dog-connoisseur told us.
Unfortunately, the other four members — Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Kirkpatrick — didn’t respond to his message.
“Son of a bitches,” Fatone joked, adding that their group chat is pretty much like a bulletin board. “Things get thrown up there and then whether we look at it or not, we know what’s going on.”
He said Kirkpatrick revealed the sex of his unborn baby to the guys through the chat earlier this year.
Fatone also described one instance when, because of the group text, all five of them were all able to wish an *NSYNC fan with Down Syndrome a happy birthday.
“I think somebody asked Chris if he minded saying ‘happy birthday’ to a friend,” he said, “It just happened to be perfect timing because he’s like … ‘Maybe Joey will say happy birthday to her.’ Then he went, ‘Maybe JC will do it, maybe Justin will do it.'”
Fatone, 40, continued, “It was cute because he showed us a video of her looking at all of us saying ‘happy birthday’ one by one. They were all individual, but it was every guy. So she got all five of us saying ‘happy birthday,’ which is a rarity. That doesn’t come very often.”
The five band members reunited last August for Chasez’s 40th birthday. They also performed together at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
