Timberlake's attorney and representatives did not immediately return requests for comment from The Associated Press.
Sag Harbor is a coastal town in the Hamptons, about 100 miles from New York City. In summer, it is a hot spot for wealthy visitors.
A young Timberlake was a Disney Mouseketeer, where his castmates included future bride Britney Spears. He rose to fame in the boy band NSYNC and embarked on a solo recording career in 2002. As an actor, Timberlake has earned acclaim in films such as The Social Network i Friends with benefits.
He has won 10 Grammy Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards.
Last year, Timberlake made headlines when Spears released her memoir, The woman in me. Several chapters were devoted to their relationship, including deeply personal details about a pregnancy, an abortion, and a painful breakup.
In March, he released his first new album in six years, the nostalgic “Everything I Thought It Was,” a return to his familiar future funk sound.
Timberlake has two upcoming shows in Chicago on Friday and Saturday, and is then scheduled to perform at Madison Square Garden in New York next week on Tuesday and Wednesday.
