Jessica Biel Talks about Her Kids and the Experience of Being a Parent the Second Time Around

Jessica Biel recently opened up on motherhood and how she navigates caring for her sons. The actress also revealed how she felt after becoming a mother a second time and the challenges that came with it.

Hollywood actress Jessica Biel and her fellow star spouse Justin Timberlake are parents to two little boys who are currently getting to know each other better. This is because Biel had her second child last year, and he is still very little.

The star mom shared family tidbits in her recent appearance on Dax Shepherd's "Armchair Expert" podcast. Biel revealed details on welcoming a second child and how her family has been adjusting to the expansion.

ON NOT ANNOUNCING HER PREGNANCY

The "7th Heaven" star and Timberlake are parents to little Phinneas, 1, and Silas, who is six years old. Last year, the couple welcomed their second son, which came as a surprise to many.

This was because the pair did not make a prior announcement or give hints that they were expecting. Speaking with Shepherd, the "Total Recall" actress noted that it was not planned.

[Biel and Jeremy Adams] came together to form Kinderfarm with the aim of providing wellness within families.

Biel further clarified that she was referring to the lack of announcement. The star mom explained it was amid the pandemic, and she and her family moved to Montana, and that was it.

ON HANDLING HER SECOND CHILD

The 39-year-old shared that she always felt like she could handle the second birth like an expert since she already had one child. However, she confirmed that the reverse was the case.

Biel noted that after she gave birth, she realized she forgot everything about caring for an infant. The "The Sinner" star added that it almost felt like amnesia and she had to return to the basics.

The actress recalled how someone told her, "Having two [children] is like having a thousand," and that was precisely how she felt. She stated it had been challenging to keep up with the balance, but she still finds it all "amazing."

ON BEING A MOM AND FAMILY WOMAN

Back in July, the star collaborated with Jeremy Adams, who is a natural produce entrepreneur and also a parent. The two came together to form Kinderfarm with the aim of providing wellness within families. She once shared:

"The most important thing was to create products that I really felt I could stand behind as a mom and as a woman and a wife."

One percent of the proceeds will go to charity to help support families. Biel, whose brand was geared by her quest to find her son the best health products, enjoys the outcome of her ideas.

The star and Timberlake recently moved from California to Tennessee with their family according to a source. The insider added that the couple prefer country life as they believe it is good for their boys.
