Silas Randall Timberlake Was Named after His Relatives - Facts about Justin Timberlake's Eldest Son

Silas Randall Timberlake has been famous since he was born to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. Everything we know about their first child.

Silas Timberlake has been in the public eye since he was born. After all, the iconic singer, songwriter, and actor Justin Timberlake is his father.

His mom is an award-winning actor and producer Jessica Biel, which means that Silas has some serious talent in his genes. Silas was the stars' only child for five years, but now he is a big brother.

All About Silas' Parents

Silas' dad Justin Timberlake's road to stardom started when he was just 15, as one of the singers in the boy band NSYNC. In 2002 he started his solo career and became one of the world's best-selling artists, with over 88 million albums sold.

The singer won four Primetime Emmy Awards, ten Grammy Awards, and an Academy Award nomination for his song "Can't Stop the Feeling!" which he wrote for the Dreamworks animation feature "Trolls."

In July 2020 Justin and Jessica welcomed their second son, Phineas, and ended Silas' tenure as a single child.

Like Justin, Silas' mom Jessica Biel started her career as a singer, but in 1996 she was cast in the TV series "7th Heaven," and as the roles and accolades followed, her singing career was swept aside.

Jessica played leading roles in major motion pictures like "The Illusionist," opposite three-time Academy Award nominee Edward Norton, "Easy Virtue," with Oscar winner Colin Firth, and the eery thriller, "The Tall Man." Her latest project in the 2022 Hulu drama, "Candy."

Justin and Jessica met while snowboarding with friends in Utah shortly after his break up with Cameron Diaz. The actress is said to have thought the singer was "cute," but how the relationship began is a mystery.

The couple started dating in 2007. In 2011, after a brief split, they became engaged and married in October 2012. Justin revealed:

"It's like, once you find that person, it's like a baptism, where you're like, 'I can't go back,' you know what I mean?"

On January 31, 2015, Justin and Jessica announced that they were expecting their first child together. The couple had managed to keep the pregnancy secret for six months, and Silas Randall Timberlake was born on April 18. on April 18.

The stars named their son Silas Randall not only for Justin, whose middle name is Randall but for his grandfather Charles Randall Timberlake, and for his great-grandfather, whose first name was Randall.

This makes Silas the fourth generation of Timberlake men to bear the name Randall. In 2018, when Silas was three, Justin shared a moving post on Instagram in which he spoke about his feeling about being Silas's dad. He wrote:

"Being a father is such a trip... an amazing discovery every day. My son: it is my honor to be your Daddy. You make me feel a love that I didn't know existed."

Despite their demanding careers, Justin and Jessica are devoted, hands-on parents who are careful never to show their children's faces on their social media posts.

Silas is an Older Brother

In July 2020, Justin and Jessica welcomed their second son, Phineas, and ended Silas' tenure as a single child. But instead of feeling jealous, Silas adores his little brother. Jessica revealed:

“Silas is the best big brother. He’s so sweet, and he’s just a lovely guy. We’re pretty lucky. They’re sweet boys.”

Jessica explained that Silas thinks his little brother is hilarious, and Phineas follows him around, wanting to do everything he does even though he is five years younger. On Father's day 2022, Justin shared a sweet snap of the two boys sitting at the piano side by side.

This indicates that Silas and Phineas Timberlake inherited their parents' passion and talent for music, and we might see them on stage with their proud daddy sooner rather than later.
