Just before Thanksgiving last year, Justin Timberlake was photographed drunk off his ass and getting handsy with his costar Alisha Wainwright in New Orleans. People were not surprised, given that Justin has, historically, been a cheater in all of his relationships. We talked about it and it was a big story on the weekend it broke and then people enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday and kind of forgot about it. Then Justin had to remind everyone about it by issuing a public apology to Jessica Biel a week later, and then there were all of the follow-up stories wherein “sources” made it sound like “Justin is a cheater” was the biggest gossip story to ever break. So what’s new? Jessica and Justin just can’t help but remind us AGAIN that he cheated on her and it’s such a big gossip story!
The new normal? Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are trying to focus on their family following the “Man of the Woods” singer’s PDA scandal in November. The 7th Heaven alum, 37, is “still upset with Justin,” who was photographed getting cozy with his costar in New Orleans, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively.
“He has been making big promises and not sticking to them as much as she thinks he can and should,” the source adds. “He promised that he would be more involved with their family and she doesn’t feel like he’s doing that.” But another source close to the couple tells Us that “Jessica and Justin are not in a tense place at all.”
The pair, who were spotted in public together on Wednesday, January 8, for the first time since the scandal broke, have been making their relationship a priority after the singer, 38, was photographed holding hands with his Palmer costar Alisha Wainwright in New Orleans two months ago. Following the holidays, The Sinner actress and “Sexyback” singer reconnected with a staycation, Us reported on Saturday, January, 11. They spent time together with their 4-year-old son, Silas, at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles.
“They had lunch at Wolfgang Puck at the hotel earlier in the week,” a source told Us. “They also had dinner there with friends the other night.” The insider revealed that the duo “kept to themselves” while dining out. “Justin had his attention focused on Jessica.”
Despite working on their relationship in the wake of the Trolls actor’s indiscretion, a source told Us on January 3, that Biel is “still not happy about the situation, but they’re OK as of now.”
I mean, I’m sure there are some people (??) concerned about this couple, and maybe there are a few people who are, like, enthralled with the drama of it? Will Justin and Jessica stay together? Of course they will – Jessica is very happy with Justin and this is what she’s always wanted, to be married to a “big celebrity,” she’s practically said that before. But sure, she’ll also grumble about it and make him perform some public declarations of love and guilt. I still say that Jessica has never had any illusions about who she’s married to though.

I have never understood his appeal. He looks like a weasel.
I also have never gotten it.
Me either.
I can’t believe they keep dragging the story back into the press! I don’t think anyone really cares.
I don’t keep up with their lives, but are they likely to be in the news for anything else, such as new movies, music etc.? Eh, it’s probable she’ll be upset about this for a while yet, but she’ll stick with him and they’ll give this an airing from time to time, until they announce they’re renewing their marriage vows in a lavish ceremony and/or they’re awaiting another child…
At this point it seems to be a sad way to stay relavent, his last album didn’t do well, she’s never made a huge impression on audiences. I think they want this talked about and for people to care
It’s insane. They must really buy into the “any publicity is good publicity” thing because they will not let this story die. Nobody even cares about these two.
I was a diehard NSYNC fan when I was in middle school and I loved Justin. I could not care less about the guy or his marriage now. It’s like oatmeal married really narcissistic oatmeal. Does he still have fans?
A constantly coked out weasel..
same
Greasy, really bad hair cut, coked out eyes. When he was a boy bander he was sort of cute but he hasn’t been for years.
Same I don’t get his appeal at all
honestly, both of them are awful anti-vaxxers – she’s admitted it & he clearly just goes along w/it. she’s not mad he ‘cheated’ she’s just mad he got caught/photographed *publicly* & embarrassed her as a result. The thing is, she doesn’t care if he keeps it on the DL, but the public seeing it isn’t ok to her. Biel isn’t into him…in that way.
Let’s just say her & the co-owner of their now shuttered restaurant had a more…hm, intimidate & longterm … connection than ppl know. Those two women broke up & now we are here.
How do you know this?
I can’t stand people who are desperately into ANY attention, including negative attention. It’s creepy. Their kid will see and learn this behaviour.
They have not been successful for years. No one cares about them, and now they are trying to be in the spotlight because of this pathetic scandal. Everyone knows that he is a cheater and that she is with him because of fame. Go away.
I mean, I don’t really care about them, but it is interesting to see what weird photo shoot they’ll do next. She looks so unhappy/tired, and he looks like he’s trying to be “good” and is bored.
She was successful in her show, The Sinner. He is pretty talented.
They are seriously overestimating how much people give a crap about them. They are two washed up celebrities who have had their time in the limelight. Either break up stop pushing these pathetic stories.
Justin has such a god complex and is not remotely attractive.
I would laugh so hard if she divorced him. But, she won’t.
He has always been a cheater and narcissist. HE sang while Jessica walked down the aisle, HE jumped over her on the PEOPLE cover of their wedding, in his song Mirrors dedicated to Biel he says: It‘s like you’re my mirror, I couldn’t get any bigger with anyone beside me *shakes head*.. And he was always into dark skinned beauties, there were pics of him being really close with another lady years ago, when he was with Biel.
omg yes the singing while she walked down the aisle enraged me. I mean he might as well have just sang a song for their first dance and made her sway around alone behind him if he wanted all eyes on him instead of her.
Sway around alone behind him 😅
comment of the day!! lol
I’ve always thought this was a marriage of convenience. It was easier to just get married than for them to part and get back out there. I think Jessica enjoys the boost that it gave her career, not that she has much of one anymore, and Justin liked the wholesome image it helped him portray.
Good news Justin! Her most recent show has been cancelled so Jessica will be free to travel and be with you all the time! Yep, lots of togetherness. Isn’t that great Justin?…..Justin?….huh where’d he go?
😂😂😂😂
This is the most boring celebrity “cheating scandal” In the history of celeb cheating scandals.
Preach!
Jessica is like a very budget version of Jennifer Garner during her marriage to Sadfleck, and even then, people got tired of their antics. Jess, honey, nobody care about Justin cheating, not even you if you are honest with yourself.
@Sarah, I agree. JG has dumped partners and traded up till she hit pay dirt. She knew she would never be a big money making actress and the only thing that kept her in the limelight was Ben. and now she’s a cannonized saint. Reality is JT is rich, worth well over 200 mill, that’s why she’s there.
Do you need some attention guys? GAWD.
This story is a bowl of plain, cold oatmeal that they are microwaving to hell and back.
Girl please. It’s not that spicy.
Y’all are killing me! 😂
LMAO.
Naughty boy gets reigned in by mummy. What an ennobling narrative for both of them.
He’s clearly an utter knobhead but he must have some appeal I can’t see from this far away! She’s a babe, talented and seems nice.
The older he gets the more unattractive he grows. Just yuck.
I consistently forget about this couple. Even this story which should be juicy is boring.
Maybe he should buy her a massive diamond a la Kobe Bryant in order to get her to loosen up the reigns a little…
Boring couple. Does anyone care? I never have seen any deep love between these 2.
I think she’s just putting this narrative out there so she doesn’t look like a pushover, because in reality she’s never gonna leave him.
“I’m no pushover, see? I’m still mad!”
Look, we know she’s not leaving, so she needs to be quiet and let that man cheat in peace.
Which is why this was not a scandal, even though they seemingly wanted it to be very badly. Nobody cares because we all know who he is and we all know who she is. Nobody thought they’d break up over this and nobody thought it was the first time he’d done that.
Leave him, girl. He’s not the super star he once was. His last album flopped, that movie will flop too and he’s irrelevant now. Stop worshipping the ground he walks on. He was never sh*t.
I think when women are still upset about an incident is because they know the kind of man they are with. She’s probably getting flashbacks and she knows this wasn’t an innocent mistake. Nobody knows him better than her.
Is he even really a “big” celebrity?
@lolamd he is very wealthy, over 200 mill, so yes. that is why she married him.
I just wanted to chime in with Zzzzzzzz … sorry, what were we talking about?
Not that he seems all that interested in marriage, but given Chris Evans’ current profile, wonder if Biel ever regrets hitching her wagon to the wrong fame train?
As it turns out, Timberlake was the downgrade! I do worry about Evans post-Marvel career tho
I’m so outta the loop on the OG marvel avenger ppl that won’t be in the movies anymore (I haven’t seen nor will the movies but know what’s happened) so Chris Evans, ScarJo & RDJ done w/Marvel career phase?
Yeah I remember she and Chris Evans were together for years. They broke up and she downgraded and settled with this douche canoe.
I think Chris’ post Marvel career will be just fine. See Knives Out. He was fantastic in that one. The whole movie was great!
Right? From what I gather, she left him to be with Justin (they broke up sometime in 2006, and by Jan. 2007, she went public with Justin).
MEANWHILE, Justin was cheating in her with every hot young thing under the sun in those days. Kate Hudson, Scarlett Johansson, Rihanna, Mila Kunis, Olivia Mann, Olivia Wilde, and probably more! What a downgrade, for real👎 Shes probably kicking her own a** right now, especially with dealing with bullcrap like this for over a decade now.
Next thing will know is a N’sync reunión because Timberlake’s last album didn’t do well at all. Besides, he’ll need to clean his name.
Jessica will stay married because she just doesn’t even care at this point.
Besides, he stayed when she had the allegedly pill addiction and some other problems and they stuck together when their restaurant didn’t work out. So, they’ll be fine.
Perhaps even a bandaid baby is coming ?
band aid baby announcement by the end of 2020 for sure
Justin & Jessica: This Smells Like My Thirst.
These two are still a thing? Who knew. *shrug*
She’s always struck me as an idiot. Her taste in men has not swayed me to think otherwise.
She has never had any illusions. They have a pre-nup with a cheating clause…..in case he cheats. She’s a smart girl although she’s in love with a weird dude.
Sounds like a divorce announcement is slated in a few months. Biel obviously is leaking stories.
Yeah, it was a tragedy! Can you repeat the question?
Biel is going to be ‘still upset’ many more times in her life as long as she stays with this creep.
[*Get used to it.*]
Enough already about this. Who gives a sh*t! It’s been played out already, and I think we’re all pretty much done with these two.
