Justin Timberlake can count his wife of more than a decade, Jessica Biel, among his biggest fans.
“I am the number one fan; I feel like I’m up there with his number one fans,” Biel told E! News host Justin Sylvester on the black carpet for the 2026 Critics Choice Awards on Jan. 4. “He’s so amazing live. There’s just no one like him, who can perform like him, who sings like him.”
“He just brings so much joy, and I don’t care if I look like a crazy person. I’m going to dance my butt off for two and a half hours,” she continued. “And I love his music and I don’t care; I’m just going to say it: I adore him. I love him as an artist and a performer.”
“The Better Sister” actress’ gushing over her husband was prompted by Sylvester asking about videos of her dancing at Timberlake’s concerts that emerged during his 2024-25 Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
The tour, however, was beset with social media backlash. Some of his concerts were canceled or postponed due to health reasons, and some fans criticized the singer for putting on lackluster performances.
In July, he revealed in an Instagram post that he’d been diagnosed with Lyme disease – a health battle he described as “relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.”
Timberlake shouted out his wife during his Montreal show in October 2024 to acknowledge their 12th wedding anniversary. He professed his love to Biel as she stood behind the barricade, with the two blowing kisses to each other.
The two, who married in 2012, welcomed their firstborn son, Silas, in April 2015. Five years later, their second son, Phineas, joined the family.
