Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Prove They’re Not Headed for ‘Divorce Bombshell’ Post-DWI Incident
Justin Timberlake made headlines after his arrest on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, for DWI-related charges. He started his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” in April 2024, and his wife, Jessica Biel, was filming a series in New York City when he made the news. Fans suspected that Biel had enough of Timberlake’s bad decisions. However, Timberlake and Biel just proved they’re fine with an Instagram video.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel prove they remain happily married with an Instagram video
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have been through a lot as a couple. The superstars tied the knot in 2012. In 2019, photos showed Timberlake getting handsy with his Palmer co-star, Alisha Wainwright. Then, in 2023, Britney Spears roasted Timberlake in her memoir. In 2024, Biel dealt with the fallout after Timberlake was arrested for DWI-related charges after driving home from the American Hotel.
Biel has stood by Timberlake’s side in the past, and it appears she’s willing to continue standing by him now. On June 26, 2024, Timberlake shared videos on Instagram of him and his wife trying Swedish candy from Bon Bon backstage at Madison Square Garden.
The video starts with Biel trying one of the candies and closing her eyes. “Holy s***,” she said. “It’s so good, it’s just super sour. Cherry? Is it cherry soda?” She then gave it an “eight or nine” out of 10. The rest of the video showed additional crew members trying the candy.
Fans considered the video a “distraction” from Timberlake’s problems. “Look how normal we are and just ignoring the fact that happened and how fine everything is,” one fan mocked.
Justin Timberlake’s DWI could’ve led to a ‘divorce bombshell,’ a source claimed
Justin Timberlake’s DWI-related charges might affect the rest of his tour dates. Several sources claimed that Jessica Biel isn’t happy with the news or the negative media attention that her husband drew to them.
“Jessica will be colossally disappointed and embarrassed that once again, Justin is in the headlines for all the wrong reasons,” an insider told The Irish Sun. “There’s going to be a lot of questions asked of Justin moving forward, without a doubt. He clearly has this self-destructive streak that keeps rearing its head. Jessica has shown the patience of a saint, forgiving his various misdeeds over the past few years, but this is really testing her patience, and then some.”
Another source told In Touch Weekly that Timberlake “humiliated” Biel. And nobody would’ve been surprised if it led to a “divorce bombshell.”
“Justin has humiliated her again,” the source claimed, according to Yahoo. “This could all lead to a divorce bombshell. No one would be shocked if Jessica issued Justin an ultimatum: Get help — or it’s over.”
The *NSYNC lead was reportedly in ‘great spirits’ after the incident
The DWI-related arrest and charges didn’t get Justin Timberlake down for long. An insider told The U.S. Sun that after the incident, Timberlake hopped on a call to reassure his crew members that everything would be just fine.
“He made sure that this arrest didn’t create tension in the crew,” the insider shared. “He reacted like a boss, like someone who owns his s***; he said sorry for bringing this kind of attention to the team. Everyone was happy to hear what he said.”
A tour coordinator added that Timberlake appeared in “great spirits” while talking to his team and that he was a “responsible guy” who made a mistake.
Given Timberlake’s demeanor, he and Biel are not on thin ice following this incident despite what fans may have assumed about their marriage.
