Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are among the few celebrity couples who appear unaffected by life in the public eye. Despite a brief split in 2011 and numerous unfaithfulness allegations, the fabulous couple appears to be as strong as ever. They are now proud parents and have been married for over a decade.

Here’s Everything You Need to Know About Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s Love Story/Instagram/@justintimberlake & @jessicabiel

What’s their secret? While it’s not a one-size-fits-all thing, the pair believes it is important to evolve together, inspire each other, and date each other even though they are married. Word to the wise! From their early days to becoming parents, here are some of the highlights of their relationship over the years.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Meet

It’s unclear when Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel first met. Reports say the two possibly crossed paths in early 2007 at a mutual friend’s party. The singer had just ended his relationship with Cameron Diaz and was seemingly ready to mingle again.

After the two hit it off at the party, Justin followed up – asking their mutual friend to check whether it would be alright with Jessica to call her.

An Instant Connection

The singer recalled telling a dry joke, and Jessica was the only one who laughed at it. Later in the night, they danced to Madonna’s “Lucky Star,” after which Jessica left the party. Justin believed it “wasn’t the right time” to ask for her phone number.

In January 2007, Jessica and her friends attended the first show of Justin’s tour in San Diego, California, after which they hung out together backstage. He asked her and her friends if they wanted a ride back to LA. They accepted, and by the end of the night, Justin and Jessica exchanged phone numbers.

Justin Did It the Old-Fashioned Way

In a press conference, Justin explained his “old-fashioned” approach to asking Jessica out, saying he preferred doing things over the phone or in person. It was something he had learned from his stepfather and grandfather.

The star said chivalry shouldn’t have to be obsolete, despite the age of technology and the internet. Justin believed if he was asking a girl out on a date, she should be able to hear his voice. What also helped him were persistence and tenacity!

They Begin Casually Dating

They ran into each other again a week later at the 2007 Golden Globes. Jessica’s “7th Heaven” co-star, Beverley Mitchell was on hand and witnessed the love connection deepen. She told Access Hollywood that she saw them flirting and knew it was a done deal. The actor said they were extremely sweet and adorable.

Sure enough, Justin and Jessica started dating shortly after. The pair kept things casual, however, and focused on getting to know each other.

Why They Kept Things Casual

Justin revealed that it took them some time to admit to themselves that they were in love. Both celebrities were still seeing other people and had not labeled their relationship. After returning from one of his tours and spending a month together, Justin realized he wanted to be exclusive, and Jessica felt the same way.

The singer would later reveal in his memoir “Hindsight & All the Things I Can’t See in Front of Me” (2018) that they had probably refrained from putting themselves out there during the initial days to avoid getting hurt.

They Kept It Hush-Hush

Nobody knew the details of their first date—what they did or how it went. Jessica later revealed that Justin went on tour shortly after. The early days were mostly comprised of stolen moments.

The couple tried to keep their relationship private from the get-go. But rumors about their budding romance began growing in the press regardless. After spotting Jessica backstage at one of Justin’s concerts, a magazine called them “special friends.”

The couple may have inadvertently made their relationship public in May 2007 while on tour in the United Kingdom. News outlets spotted the pair around town, cozying up to each other while they were out for dinner. Jessica and Justin had tried to keep their relationship under wraps to avoid media attention, but it proved difficult beyond a point.

The couple was smitten, and there was only so much they could do to hide it. Photos of the two kissing began circulating online. Jessica later revealed that being hounded by paparazzi at the time was tough to deal with.

Justin Tells Oprah About His Not-So-Secret Lady Love

Normally careful with his words, Justin shared some details about his dating life with Oprah Winfrey in September 2007. Without naming names, the singer told Oprah he was dating someone who “smells lovely.” He said that was all he could reveal.

Timberlake said he would get pretty romantic when she was around, sheepishly admitting to singing to her over iChat webcam while he was touring. Oprah didn’t press for more information, even though she and the world were in the know about his mystery girlfriend by then.

The One With the Kiss Cam

Justin is famous for goofing around, and the singer was in his element at a 2009 Lakers game. He jokingly straddled his girlfriend in front of the crowd. On “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” he explained that moments before, the Kiss Cam had captured an “award-winning” kiss between Dustin Hoffman and his wife, after which the camera cut to him and Jessica.

“I was not to be outdone, OK? So, I mounted my girlfriend in front of 18,000 people,” he said. Well, as long as it’s consensual, go ahead!

Breakup Rumors

When Justin and Jessica confirmed their relationship, it was clear that the couple was on the same page. They were in it for the long haul. But in early 2009, the couple went through trying times when rumors of a split surfaced in the media.

The gossip proved unfounded, however, and the two stars appeared to be more than alright. In August 2009, the couple moved into a fantastic New York City loft together.

Rumors About Who Wanted to Get Married and Who Didn’t

In 2009, gossip about Justin’s reluctance to get married began making the rounds. The information allegedly came from his grandmother, Sadie Bomar, an infamous source of Timberlake-related tabloid gossip.

Rumors About Who Wanted to Get Married and Who Didn’t/Alamy Stock Photo by WENN Rights Ltd

Grandma Bomar revealed that although Jessica was eager to marry, Justin wanted to focus on his music career. After the couple split up in 2011, another source confirmed that Justin wanted to stay single and have fun. However, sources close to Jessica later denied these claims.

Jessica Was in No Rush Herself

When relationships fail, the default assumption is that the woman wanted to marry while the man couldn’t or didn’t feel the same way. The implications were unsurprisingly similar when Justin and Jessica first broke up.

Jessica Was in No Rush Herself/Instagram/@justintimberlake

But the actress didn’t appear to be in any hurry to tie the knot. She even told Marie Claire in December 2008 that she goes back and forth on marriage and kids. She was all for it being an organic decision at the right time in her life. The idea felt “totally foreign” to her at the moment.

Jessica Speaks Candidly

In the midst of plenty of unwanted tabloid attention about their allegedly on-again, off-again relationship, Jessica gave an interview to Vogue where she spoke candidly about it.

The actor stated she didn’t “feel the need” to clarify the breakup rumors. She cared too much about the relationship to bother about what others were saying or thinking. Jessica had never addressed their relationship with the press, and she wasn’t going to start now.

Justin’s Mom Sings Jessica’s Praises

Jessica rarely discussed the details of her relationship with the media. She would only refer to how it made her feel, calling it the most precious thing in her life without going into specifics. Justin’s mother, Lynn Harless, was more vocal about her son’s relationship.

She sang Jessica’s praises while talking to reporters at a William Rast fashion show. She called Jessica an “incredible,” and “down-to-earth” girl with a great sense of humor.

The Lovebirds Spotted Around NYC

The couple began unabashedly appearing in public together. In May 2010, photographers captured images of the lovebirds strolling through the West Village in NYC before watching “In the Heights” on Broadway. A few months later, the couple was all smiles at the Met Costume Institute Gala. Jessica dazzled in a Ralph Lauren outfit, while Justin looked dapper in a William Rast suit that evening.

Inside sources said that outside of his good looks, Jessica loved her beau’s sense of humor the most.

The Things You Do for Love

According to a source close to Justin, the couple was supportive and encouraging of each other. Justin consciously made changes to his lifestyle so that he and Jessica could spend quality time together. For instance, he prioritized low-key evenings out with his girlfriend instead of hitting the clubs all the time.

Things appeared to be going well until rumors began circulating that he had been unfaithful to Jessica. Nonetheless, the couple presented a united front at the Glamour Reel Moments event that October.

Justin Meets Olivia Munn

Despite persistent rumors that Justin had numerous indiscretions before and after he married Jessica, he has consistently denied the allegations. However, his wife may have believed some of the rumors, particularly those claiming he has been intimately involved with “The Newsroom” actor Olivia Munn.

In 2010, several news reports published information about the alleged fling. Justin and Olivia reportedly met at an event while she was still a cast member on NBC’s “Perfect Couples.”

Rumors About Justin and Olivia Blow Up Online

Sources close to Justin said he pursued Olivia aggressively, but she turned him down, saying she couldn’t date him because he was still dating Jessica at the time. He allegedly lied about his relationship status, saying he and Jessica had broken up, and Munn appeared to believe him.

The pair allegedly spent three days together at the Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel in New York City. The truth is still unknown. Fans have since speculated whether the rumors about Olivia Munn played a role in their temporary breakup in 2011.

Justin and Jessica Split Up

The couple split up in March 2011 after four years of dating, which came as a shock to everyone. They were close, and their relationship seemed rock-solid just a few months before.

A rep for the couple responded to the media speculation, saying the decision was mutual and amicable. Justin and Jessica continued to have love and respect for each other and were still friends. However, fans speculated that several rumors about Justin during this time may have strained the relationship.

Nobody Knows Why They Broke Up

The couple broke up shortly after returning from a ski trip to Colorado to celebrate Jessica’s 29th birthday. It isn’t clear what happened during the trip that eventually led to them splitting up. According to some sources, Jessica decided to end the relationship since she couldn’t see a future together.

Nobody Knows Why They Broke Up/Instagram/@jessicabiel

Others insisted she was willing to continue the relationship despite the many rumors about him getting extra-curricular with other women. The final straw was supposedly when Justin dismissed her romantic gestures in front of their guests at the birthday party.

A Dignified Split

Despite the fact that their relationship was over, Justin had only nice things to say about his ex-girlfriend. During an interview with Vanity Fair in June 2011, he described Jessica as the most significant person in his life.

The singer said he considered her the most special person in all of his 30 years. He would not comment or say more. He valued her and what they shared, and the best way to protect that was by keeping it close.

The Duo Hang Out Again

By June 2011, the couple was quietly seeing each other again and giving the relationship a second chance. A source said they had continued talking all this while. The pair was spotted dining at Toronto’s Black Hoof restaurant, where they shared tacos.

Complete reconciliation was reportedly a long time away, however. They were taking things slow and spending time together for the time being. Nonetheless, fans assumed the two were back on, and this time for good.

Jessica and Justin Get Engaged

Not only did the two reconcile, but months later they also got engaged. The artist who brought “Sexy Back” to the world proposed to his girlfriend during a visit to Montana. The magical moment would later inspire him to write “Montana,” a single from his “Man in the Woods” album in 2018.

Justin reportedly wore the ring on his pinkie while asking Jessica to look at the beautiful shadows near the mountains. “Do you see it?” the singer asked his girlfriend. And the rest is history. Jessica would later call the proposal “wonderful.” The actor never saw it coming.

Pre-Nuptial Disagreements

Events leading up to the engagement weren’t smooth sailing. The couple reportedly had a heated argument over their prenup, which nearly derailed their engagement plans. A source revealed that trouble erupted before the engagement when Jessica demanded a fidelity clause in the pre-nuptial agreement, awarding her $500,000 if she caught Justin breaking it.

The alleged disagreement confirmed a host of trust issues following multiple allegations about Justin’s dalliances.

Jessica Biel and Gerard Butler Dating Rumours

Jessica Biel became the subject of similar rumors only once in 2012 when some tabloids claimed she was dating Scottish actor Gerard Butler. The rumors first surfaced in March, while the two were in Louisiana filming “Playing for Keeps” (2012). The two stars acted quickly to quell the rumors, with close sources reiterating they were simply friends.

Later in June, paparazzi captured photos of the two being “romantically close,” intensifying the gossip.

Marriages and How to Make Them Last

Justin was interviewed with Vanity Fair in 2012, where he talked a little about his views on marriage. He believed people were making a mistake when getting into it thinking their partners will stay the same.

Marriages and How to Make Them Last/Instagram/@justintimberlake

People are committed to who their partners were in the past instead of acknowledging the inevitable—change, evolution, and who they will become. The key to a lasting marriage was in “changing together,” the singer said.

Heavy PDA Leading Up to the Wedding

The couple gave the world something to talk about during a Lakers-Denver Nuggets game in May 2012. Justin took advantage of the Kiss Cam once again, with a kiss that left his fiancee blushing and reeling a bit.

Fans at the Staples Center wanted more, especially since the couple’s wedding was just a few weeks away. When he wasn’t indulging in some PDA, Justin was spotted cheering on the Lakers and Kobe Bryant.

They Say “I Do”

The couple married on October 19, 2012, less than a year after getting engaged. Besides family and friends, the wedding guest list included the who’s who of entertainment. Jimmy Fallon and Andy Samberg were in attendance, as was Timbaland, Justin’s long-time music collaborator.

They Say “I Do”/Instagram/@justintimberlake

The wedding took place at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Italy, where Justin sang a song as his bride walked down the aisle. The singer said he specifically wrote it for the occasion and for his wife-to-be.

The Couple Become More Open About Their Lives

Despite the couple’s efforts to keep their relationship private, the past allegations surrounding Justin drew unwanted attention to them. After their marriage in October 2012, they appeared to abandon their policy of privacy and began sharing details about their personal lives on social media.

The sudden shift appeared to be part of a public relations campaign to dispel whispers that their marriage was in trouble. They began discussing their relationship with the media and revealing the secrets of their happy marriage.

They Attend the 2013 Grammys

The newly married couple attended the 2013 Grammy Awards together at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Justin performed his single “Suit & Tie” from his new album “The 20/20 Experience” in collaboration with Jay-Z.

At the event, Jessica took the opportunity to quell gossip about why she didn’t show up to support her husband at the American Music Awards that month. She wrote on Twitter that she would be watching the show from home. It wasn’t that deep. Biel signed off with a tongue-in-cheek, “Relax, Internet.”

Jessica Turns 32

The duo celebrated Jessica’s 32nd birthday in March 2014 with a sailing holiday in Barbados. Outside of the birthday celebration, the couple appeared to be enjoying some downtime after Justin’s months-long tour across the United States to promote his third studio album, “The 20/20 Experience.”

Justin Shares a Wistful Social Media Post

In October 2014, Justin shared a rare photo of them together while spending time in New Zealand. He captioned the post with a reference to the 1986 classic film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

The singer was seemingly in a whimsical mood, and his caption read, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” The next month, an online publication broke the news that Jessica and Justin were expecting their first child.

She joked at the time that she liked saying she was “his boss.” The film was Jessica’s passion project that was nearly ten years in the making. It’s a story about an architect (Jason Sudeikis) grieving the loss of his wife (played by a pregnant Jessica) by helping a teenager (Maisie Williams) find her father.

Timberlake and Biel Sought Marriage Counseling

After the birth of their first son, Silas, Justin reportedly wanted to have their second child as soon as possible, which meant Jessica would have to put her career on hold. The couple’s alleged disagreement over when to have their second child and Justin’s preference for a large family caused significant tension between 2016 and 2017.

Documenting Sweet Moments

The famously private couple began sharing more glimpses of their life after Silas was born. Jessica and Justin documented several sweet family moments and milestones on Instagram. Among their most popular updates was a 2016 photo of all three of them in their Halloween costumes.

They Continue Inspiring Each Other
