Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel let the public do little in their private lives. There's a good reason for that.
In 2020, Justin Timberlake, 39, and Jessica Biel, 38, had children for the second time. However, the singer only confirmed that they are now parents of little Phineas in addition to their son Silas, 5, in early 2021. Despite their status as superstars, the two keep their children strictly out of the public eye.
"You shouldn't be treated differently"
"I consciously try not to lead a life that is overly private, but we want to make sure that they can be children as long as possible," explains Justin Timberlake in an interview with actor Dax Shepard, 46, on the Armchair Expert podcast. "They shouldn't feel like they're being treated differently because of what their parents are doing."
Justin Timberlake worries about his children
The singer still worries that his children will not be able to make real friendships because of their famous parents. A feeling that actor Dax Shepard shares with him. He and fellow actor Kristen Bell, 40, have two daughters, Lincoln, 7, and Delta, 6. "I'm terrified that kids might hang out with them or tease them about it," admits Shepard.
The 46-year-old remembers an incident in which he had to explain to his daughter the fame of her parents and why she could not tell the other children that her mother is the voice of "Princess Anna" from "Frozen". "I know that you are proud and you should be able to say that, but I just warn you that it will probably make the other children jealous and they will not know how to deal with this feeling," he explained to his daughter .
An almost normal life
A situation that Justin Timberlake has already experienced in a similar way. After all, he lent his voice to the character "Branch" in the popular children's film "Trolls". "For people like us, the hope that we instill in them over and over again is that we have really fun jobs, but it doesn't define who we are," said the "Cry Me A River" interpreter. He hopes they will understand that one day.
Together with Jessica, with whom he has been married since 2012, and their two sons, he lives a quiet life in the US state of Montana. "Justin and Jessica have their hands full with the kids, but they're both super active and love golf, tennis, hiking and snowboarding," an insider recently told E! News about the life of the Timberlakes.
