Jessica Biel isn’t afraid to get real about her marriage to Justin Timberlake.
“Another year to make memories that I keep sacred in my heart,” Biel, 42, wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 31, in honor of Timberlake’s 44th birthday. “Another year of joy and challenges being a parent with you. Another year together being curious and creative in the world.”
The actress then went on to describe her marriage as both “evolving and sometimes devolving” as she continued to celebrate her husband.
“Another year growing and evolving and sometimes devolving, with you,” she continued. “Another year laughing about it all. Happy birthday my love.”

Biel and Timberlake started dating back in 2007. After a brief split in 2011, the pair tied the knot in 2012.
“She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life,” Timberlake said in a Vanity Fair interview earlier that year. “In my 30 years, she is the most special person, okay? I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me — for instance, her.”
The pair share two children, Silas and Phineas.
In June 2024, Timberlake was arrested and charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and given two additional citations — one for running a stop sign and one for failure to stay in his lane. Months later, in September, he pleaded guilty to driving while impaired, a lesser charge, and was given a $500 fine and 25 hours of community service at a non-profit of his choosing.
Shortly after Timberlake’s arrest, sources close to the couple told Us Weekly that Biel was “extremely upset” by her husband’s legal trouble.
“Jessica is extremely upset,” the insider told Us at the time. “She was shocked to hear the news and had no idea as she was working. She was really worried about him.”
Despite rumors Timberlake and Biel were headed for a divorce as a result of his DWI, Biel stood beside her husband following his very-public arrest.
“Jessica andJustin are spending more time together and are happier and more relaxed,” the source explained. “Justin is taking time to reevaluate his priorities. He hasn’t been going out as much and is staying in more with Jessica and the kids. Jessica is showing patience and compassion while also maintaining firm expectations of him.”
On Friday, Timberlake thanked his wife and loved ones for all the birthday wishes.
“Thank ya’ll for the birthday love,” Timberlake wrote via Instagram Stories. “And @jessicabiel you outdid yourself.”
