Justin Timberlake 's recent DWI incident has reportedly cast a shadow over his marriage to Jessica Biel . The 43-year-old singer's arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, on June 18, has apparently created ripples in their relationship, according to sources close to the couple.
An insider revealed to Life & Style magazine that circumstances have been challenging for Biel to navigate. "The situation's been a lot to deal with," the source disclosed. "While Justin has been touring the country, shrugging off his arrest, Jessica has been holding down the fort," they added.
The 42-year-old actress has allegedly been feeling the strain of recent events. "Jessica has always been the heart of their family, and she loves being a mom," the insider explained. The couple share two children: Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4.
However, friends of the actress are reportedly concerned about the toll this situation is taking on her. "Her friends hate seeing her bogged down by all of this, especially when she has her own projects to focus on," the source divulged to the outlet. There's a sentiment among her circle that Timberlake's behavior has been a long-standing issue in their relationship, with one friend stating, "They feel like Justin has been weighing Jessica down for years, honestly."
The embarrassment factor of Timberlake's arrest seems to be a significant concern for Biel. Another insider shared, "getting handcuffed in the Hamptons is embarrassing for her." They went on to explain that "It's one thing to sit back with friends over a drink. It's another to consume so much alcohol that you're DWI bait."
The couple's relationship was already facing challenges due to Timberlake's touring schedule, relying heavily on video calls to stay connected. Now, with this latest incident, there are fears that more difficult times may lie ahead for the pair. "It's already been tough on their marriage with Justin on tour, having to rely on FaceTime to stay connected. The fear is that more tough times are in store," one source noted. Another ominously warned, "If Justin isn't worried about losing Jessica, he should be."
Despite these gloomy predictions, not all sources agree that this incident spells doom for the couple's 12-year marriage. A conflicting report to Life & Style suggests that Biel has already moved past the event. "Even though getting a DWI is very serious, she was in the Hamptons over the weekend [of July 5] acting like she didn't have a care in the world," an observer noted. This source believes that Biel has already put the incident behind her, stating, "She's clearly moved on from everything that has happened. Justin screwed up again, yet she didn't seem to be fazed by it."
Another insider backed up this view, asserting that Biel isn't contemplating ending their marriage. "She's not going to leave him," the source stated. However, they did acknowledge that "Jessica is still very upset by Justin's recent actions, but she has agreed to work through it."
The situation has undoubtedly raised concerns for Biel regarding Timberlake's well-being. "Jessica is worried about him," an insider revealed. But there seems to be hope on the horizon, as "Justin has promised her he will make things right."
While some sources paint a picture of a marriage under strain, others suggest that Biel and Timberlake's bond is strong enough to weather this storm. As with many high-profile relationships, the truth likely lies somewhere in between these conflicting reports. For now, it appears that Biel is standing by her husband while also grappling with the fallout from his actions.
