Timberlake rose to prominence as a member of the popular '90s boy band NSYNC and has since established himself as a top-selling solo musician. Biel is a notable actress who gained fame for her role in the hit drama series "7th Heaven."
In 2019, Biel gushed about the early years of their relationship. She revealed she had a feeling Timberlake was her "person," even though they were still young at the time.
They didn't take any giant leaps of faith or put themselves in dangerous territory. Instead, they enjoyed each other's company. She realized later that the stellar singer was the one she wanted to face any challenge with.
The beautiful couple eventually exchanged vows in a heartfelt wedding ceremony in Italy in 2012. Ten years into their marriage, Beil and Timberlake have remained madly in love with each other and have welcomed two sons.

In 2019, Timberlake gushed about the dazzling actress enjoying parenthood, adding that his wife and their firstborn (then only son) were everything to him. He said:
"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? Like, I don't, I can't go back, so, which is what fatherhood's like too."
In 2022, marking the couple's 10th anniversary, Biel appeared on the "Today" show and shared her thoughts with host Hoda Kotb about her marriage.

Seemed momentarily at a loss for words and having difficulty expressing her emotions. Biel told Kotb that the secret to their lasting relationship is feeling safe in each other's presence and deeply understanding each other.
She pointed out that embarking on adventures and discovering new places as a couple or individually helps maintain the spark in their relationship. She stressed the importance of continuously making an effort, telling Kotb:
"I mean, you have to keep working hard to make it fresh."
Biel also said that Timberlake stresses the importance of dating to keep their relationship strong. He has constantly reminded her that they must keep the spark alive by making time for each other.
She emphasized the need for date nights and making time for themselves, even with the challenges of balancing their busy lives. Biel admitted that she is still working on applying this advice in practice.
During the interview, Biel also revealed they reaffirmed their vows in Italy to celebrate their 10-year union, emphasizing that the ceremony was not a grand affair.
She noted that while the vow renewal was a significant event for some couples, it was not the case for her and Timberlake. They even almost canceled the ceremony as they considered it "silly."
Nevertheless, they went ahead with it, but privately, inviting only a few friends to witness it. The couple has since decided to should keep this tradition going in the future.
The gorgeous actress and "SexyBack" singer are the proud parents of two adorable sons, Silas Randall, and Phineas Timberlake. Silas was born in 2015, while Phineas arrived in 2020 during the pandemic.
Timberlake, who is embracing his role as a father, has expressed his desire to expand their family. In a 2018 Beats One interview, he stated he wanted "as many kids as possible" with his wife.
Timberlake is confident in being a family man. The acclaimed singer admitted he had never "felt inept" when it came to being a responsible parent to his children.
The idea of having kids also brought back the good and bad memories from his childhood. Despite initial concerns about not fulfilling his role as a father, he has emerged as a loving and caring dad to his own children.
Cooking & Changing Diapers
Timberlake is among the wealthiest celebrity fathers in the industry. According to reports, the award-winning pop star has an alleged net worth of $250 million.
Several factors, including the sales of Timberlake's music, tours, and endorsements, as well as various businesses and real estate holdings, reportedly contributed to his estimated wealth.
Timberlake and his spouse reportedly possess a $20.2 million duplex in Tribeca, an $8.3 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills, and a Nashville property worth $4 million. They also have another luxurious property in Montana.
Despite their immense wealth, the couple has strived to give their children a normal and private childhood by taking on household chores and managing everything at home. Timberlake changes diapers while Biel cooks for their two kids.
In an interview on the Armchair Expert podcast with host Dax Shepard, Timberlake discussed why he and his wife keep their sons' lives private. The father of two explained to Shepard:
"I try to be conscious of making sure we can live a life where, we're not weirdly private, but we're conscious of making sure they can be kids for as long as possible."
Timberlake also makes sure his children aren't treated differently. He worries that his and Biel's fame might make it hard for their kids to make genuine friendships with their peers.
Despite keeping the upbringing of their little sons private, the couple has occasionally opened up about their parenting journey to the public or on social media.
In an interview with People, Timberlake shared his experiences as a first-time father and how he navigated the challenging rite of passage when Silas was born in 2015, which included changing diapers. He recalled:
"I've never slept less and dealt with more poop and been so excited about it!"
Biel affirmed that her husband was highly dedicated to his role as a new father, doing everything he could in nursing Silas.
Timberlake never stopped gushing about his child when host Jimmy Fallon interviewed him earlier. He described fatherhood as the "most insanely amazing, most beautiful, unbelievable thing" that had ever happened to him.
The pop star recognizes the need for teamwork in parenting and has often shown his love for his wife by publicly expressing his feelings, stating his love for Biel is so strong that it exceeds any words he could put into a song.
Meanwhile, while caring for her two children, Biel has continuously juggled her acting career and being part-owner of a West Hollywood restaurant named Au Fudge.
When she and her bustling dining establishment were featured in the Amazon series "Just Add Magic" in 2020, she talked about being a new mom, and her hilarious story seems to be something most parents can relate to.
The working mom reminisced about a time when she became a "human vacuum cleaner" with her then-21-month-old son Silas's meals. "That is what happens when you are a mom or a dad," she added.
According to Biel, being a parent means making meals for your children, watching them eat their favorite food, and often eating the leftovers from their plates. In her experience, Silas's leftovers served as her "lunch."
Before becoming a parent, Biel was an avid baker. She tried out different ingredients, like fermented food and alternative flours, to make delicious gluten-free brownies, dairy-free cookies, and other sweets.
Now, she cooks a lot at home. Biel has increased her time in the kitchen and is honing her steak-cooking abilities. Despite acknowledging her limitations with steak, she considers herself an expert in cooking vegetables, grains, and chicken.
She considers herself lucky to have Silas as her son because the little boy is not a picky eater, and her son has enjoyed eating various food, including lamb chops, fish, and vegetables.
Biel does not constantly grind away in the kitchen. While she does her best to cook healthy food at home for her kids, she stated that she also frequently relies on pre-made meals from Whole Foods.
The Celebrity Couple's Rural Family Life
Timberlake and Biel prefer to lead a secluded lifestyle with their kids. Together, they live in a rural home surrounded by streams, trees, and fields. In fact, they own two residences situated in breathtaking locations.
After becoming parents, they desired for their sons to have a unique home experience, not limited to Hollywood. They have invested in luxurious properties in Montana and Tennessee.
The power couple bought a property in Yellowstone Club, in Big Sky, Montana. The club is a luxurious ski resort and real estate development.
Despite the expensive cost of their home, Biel and her husband can live a life away from the spotlight, which is especially beneficial to their children. They intend to instill in their children the awe and majesty of nature.
The pair's home is nestled in the club's Hillside neighborhood, which boasts the nearby hotspot called the Village, a hub for various leisure activities, evening entertainment, and shopping centers.
They reportedly pay a $30,000 annual fee and settled a one-time fee of $300,000 for club membership before purchasing one of the property's luxurious homes.
The couple had spent their quarantine in the region during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, Timberlake and Biel's neighbors include billionaire Bill Gates and prominent politicians such as Dan Quayle and Jack Kemp.
Timberlake and his spouse also own 126 acres of land in Williamson County, near his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. They reportedly purchased this enormous piece of land for $4 million.
The breathtaking site boasts a great outdoor setting for building a residence and as a place for children to discover the hills and play in the streams just outside of Nashville.
Timberlake, who has a home in Nashville where he and his wife have plenty of friends, expressed his admiration for the sprawling Williamson property, remarking, "There's not a lot of places in the world, much less America, that do that. It's just a great place."
Timberlake seems to be the newest celebrity to join the roster of famous personalities who have acquired a property in Williamson County. Other stars who own properties in the county include musicians Alan Jackson, Michael McDonald, and Trisha Yearwood.
Additionally, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are among the other celebrity couples on the list.
According to US Weekly, in 2021, Timberlake and Biel relocated from Los Angeles to their Tennessee home with their sons. The change was made for a reason.
Their Tennessee home provides plenty of space for their children to play and be free. The celebrity couple prefers a peaceful life away from the fast-paced lifestyle of California. Even though they rarely live in it, their LA home remains theirs.
Despite their massive wealth and success, Biel and Timberlake's love for each other and their family is unwavering. Their dedication to their relationship and their children is an inspiration to all.
The couple has proven that their love is not just for show and that fame and fortune cannot replace the importance of love, trust, and commitment to each other.
As they mark a decade of love and joy, they demonstrate that it is possible to have a thriving career and a healthy family life and that the bond between a husband and wife can strengthen with each passing year.
