Everyone with even a passing interest in gossip realized weeks ago that Jessica Biel is knocked up. We just never got a confirmation on it. Until now? Sort of. Us Weekly’s “sources” confirm the news, news which has been percolating for a good month. There were exclusive photos of Biel in a swimsuit, looking rather bumpy. Then there were more exclusive photos of Biel looking VERY bumpy. Then an editor for InStyle “congratulated” Jessica on her pregnancy on Twitter. My guess is that Jessica and Justin wanted to wait until she was well into her second trimester, but they were dropping hints to friends, family and colleagues.

Biel’s having a baby! Jessica Biel is pregnant and expecting her first child with Justin Timberlake, multiple sources reveal in the new issue of Us Weekly.

“Right now they are just enjoying the news for themselves,” one pal tells Us of the Blunderer actress, 32, and Timberlake, 33, who dated on and off for five years before getting engaged in January 2012. “They just want a happy baby.”

Family is important to the couple, who celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in October. “It’s weird because it feels like almost nothing has changed, yet something that you can’t really describe, or something that isn’t tangible, has changed,” Biel told Ellen DeGeneres of married life after returning from her honeymoon in 2012. “It just feels incredible.”

Her spouse shared the same sentiment when seated next to DeGeneres in April 2013. “It’s nice to marry your best friend. It suits me,” the former ‘N Sync singer said at the time. “Every once in a while I can catch a glimpse of her when she doesn’t see me looking, and I have this moment where I’m like, ‘If you never make a good decision…if you only make bad decisions for the rest of your life. You made one really good decision.'”

Both soon-to-be parents have juggled busy schedules this year, with Biel often accompanying Timberlake on the road for his 20/20 Experience tour. Last month, the 7th Heaven alum was photographed in a black bikini while visiting him in Hawaii. Luckily for Biel, pregnancy cravings won’t be an issue once Timberlake returns home. “He bakes pies. He’s Southern, so he’s got all this influence from his grandma,” Biel said of the dad-to-be to Elle in January 2013. “He does a three-layer pie…and blueberry crunch cake, which is pretty unbelievable. It doesn’t happen all that often, thank God. Otherwise, it would be a big problem.”

“[Marriage] means always having someone there to open the pickle jar,” she added to the mag. “To share the ups and downs with, have adventures with. Someone to go swimming naked with. That kind of thing.”

Justin bakes pies? Justin is the Blake Lively in this relationship?!?! And I love how even Us Weekly has to stretch a bit to make it sound like Jessica is “busy.” She follows Justin around on tour… when he lets her. But never to Paris, amirite? She also auditions for roles but rarely gets anything. She tries to convince people she’s up for a role in True Detective. And that’s how busy she was. In any case, I do believe Jessica is knocked up and I’m happy for her and for Justin. I’m interested to see if Justin becomes a “changed man” like Ashton Kutcher. We’ll see.
