Justin Timberlake can’t shake off the demons of his past. There is talk again of excessive alcohol consumption. His marriage to Jessica Biel has had to deal with a number of scandals over the past twelve years.
In 2006, Justin Timberlake confessed that he had been secretly “getting drunk and taking a lot of drugs.” He even admitted that he was afraid of being arrested one day for it. In 2007, he started dating Jessica Biel. In 2024, he was arrested.
Even back then, the former boy band member had the reputation of being a bad boy, but many signs suggested that his relationship and subsequent marriage to Biel in 2012 would transform him into a sensible husband and father. At least since the last few days and his arrest in New York for drunk driving, it has been clear: Justin Timberlake is and will remain a bad boy. A look at his relationship also shows this.
For Jessica Biel, this is by no means the first scandal she has had to endure because of her husband. It is not yet clear whether she will do the same, as a source told People Magazine: “The situation has been a little uncertain lately. They are spending more time apart – more time with their friends, and they have re-evaluated their relationship.”
On-off relationship, then the wedding
Their relationship has never been straightforward, after the couple got together in 2007, they split up in 2011. Six months after the split, they got back together and got engaged a month later. The wedding followed the next year.
After their wedding, the couple was apparently on cloud nine. They had their first child together, a son named Sila, in April 2015. Then, in 2019, a public, alleged infidelity scandal broke. The singer was seen holding hands with Alisha Wainwright, his co-star in the film “Palmer”. During an outing with a group of friends, 30-year-old Wainwright put her hand on his knee and the two appeared to be holding hands, according to footage published by the news portal “The Sun”.
Jessica Biel, who was also pregnant with their second child, remained silent about all of this. In a public statement, the musician asserted that there was no truth to the rumors of an extramarital affair. He had misjudged the situation and admitted: “I drank far too much that evening and I regret my behavior. I should have known better.” In July 2020, their second son, Phineas, was born.
Justin Timberlake: It’s always about alcohol and cheating
In October 2023, Justin Timberlake’s ex-girlfriend, Britney Spears, published her memoirs with serious allegations against the singer. The two pop stars were a couple from 1999 to 2002. The topic of infidelity was again raised. Spears spoke of how there were many moments in their relationship when she knew Justin was cheating on her. Timberlake was allegedly caught red-handed in a car with a singer from the band “All Saints” in 2000, and according to Spears, he also had something with dancers and groupies during their relationship. He is also said to have pressured Spears to have an abortion at the time. Jessica Biel remained silent about all of this. His statement followed on stage that he would “apologize to absolutely no one”.
Justin Timberlake is currently on his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour”, the next stop of which is in Chicago on June 21st. According to “IMDb” and other media reports, Timberlake was given strict rules of conduct by his wife for this tour at the beginning of the year. The portal “Heat World” reveals further details, a source says: “He has to contact Jessica every night and she has to be able to reach him at any time, without excuses. He has agreed not to go out partying or drinking after the shows or to get into situations that could cause problems. If he does anything that humiliates her or breaks her trust, she has made it clear that that will be the last straw. Jessica will keep a very close eye on him and expects him to stick strictly to these rules.”
But then he was arrested for driving drunk earlier this week, while his wife had to put on her brightest smile and continue filming her current project, the Amazon series “The Better Sister,” in Manhattan just one day after his release.
