Timberlake and Biel are a cute Hollywood couple who got married in 2012, and they are no strangers to scandals. The four year married life eventually ended and they were separated. Sometimes relationships a match made in heaven, while others are just huge mistakes. Marriage can be perfect for a really long time, but other times not quite as blissful. Commitment and a calm nature are the two prerequisites for a successful marriage. Biel and Justin had all qualities of being successful in marriage and in their careers as well. However, sometimes scandals get to their heads, because after all, they are just human. Luckily, they have survived all the rumors about their relationship, and continue to stand strong together.

There were a lot of things that could have potentially led to a breakup, but luckily they stayed clear of that. Various media and interviews reveal that Biel was more serious and wanted a stable relationship out of the two. It was said that Justin was not that serious or mature enough to be successful in marriage, which as of now has been disproven. There were allegations of him flirting with other women, which of course irritated Biel.

Justin has also been caught up with a lot of scandals, past and present, from things he has said and done. Jessica on the other hand, is a beautiful ray of sunshine. But let's be honest, she is still seriously too good for him.

JUSTIN WASN'T READY FOR MARRIAGE

When Timberlake’s grandmother, Sadie Boomer was interviewed by the Daily Mail in 2009, she told that Justin wasn’t really serious about marriage. At the time even, no one could have ever imagined that Jessica and Justin would get married.

Justin was someone who was focusing on his career at the time. Well, although this fact was later denied and disputed and grandma’s statement was not taken to be granted. The couple broke up in 2011 for three months. While interviewed by Vanity Magazine, he opened up by saying,

"I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me — for instance, her. I would rather not talk about her, because it's hurtful for me. It's unfortunate that even though you make the effort to say something, which I tried on for size, people do what they want to do."

When they got back together, Justin quickly proposed and decided to stick with the marriage properly this time, as she was too important a woman to pass up. Still, putting her through that pain for three months is definitely undesirable. He should definitely not take her for granted. (Source: Nickiswift.com;Screenrant.com)

JESSICA waited him out

Sources say that Biel and Timberlake met in a party after the 2007 Golden Globe award ceremony in then exchanged phone numbers.  Biel's 7th Heaven costar Beverley Mitchell said, "I was there like the moment the love connection happened, I was like, 'OK, this is happening.' It was very, very sweet. They were definitely flirting. They were really cute."

Timberlake said he asked a mutual friend if he could call her and ask her out, and he got the OK to give it a shot. "I did it the old fashioned way — by telephone," Timberlake said to Us Weekly, back in 2012. "I had to be pretty persistent in order to get her to say yes. But I have a fair amount of tenacity and if I want something I stick to it. And in the end she agreed."

Sources say that during his birthday, Jessica made jokes about how she basically takes everything about their relationship into her own hands. Although some people think men should have the power in a relationship, that does not seem to be the case here. Justin seems to lack a little bit of backbone, and meanwhile, Jessica is the one who has him in the palm of his hand. Beyond that, what makes her too good for him, in this case, is the fact that she is not the kind of girl to basically stalk someone to get a date.

they didn't kiss for a long time

Jessica when interviewed by James Cordon of "The Late Show," said that the couple didn’t have a standard courtship. The actress admitted that they didn’t kiss for a long time as Timberlake was on tour and all they could do was talk over the phone, just like what other normal pre-teens do. They took time to be physically close, and Jessica told that she was sure, she found the right person.

"We didn't kiss for a very long time because he was on tour, and we were talking on the phone, like normal pre-teens do. We were just chatting on the phone for hours. So, we never really kissed for a very long time."

She was so into him that she even sent an email that said, "I will marry this man," to her producing partner. Distance clearly had a huge effect on the two of them, which is why they likely took so long to make a decision about marriage. But perhaps that makes it easier for them to do well now, because they already had a trail. Maybe, they were still deciding on the right partner, or they were too confused to confess they were in love.  (Source: Dailymail.co.uk, Screenrant.com)

THEIR RELATIONSHIP sometimes suffered

When the couple had started dating one another, both Timberlake and Biel were protective about their relationship and wanted to maintain secrecy. But, the news of their relationship spread like wildfire and they opened up to the media about it. When they went to Rome in 2008 and were photographed for the first time, people were left without a doubt that they were in a relationship.

Unfortunately, there were repeated allegations that Timberlake was not loyal to Biel. It became the factor that brought unwanted attention to their relationship. Obviously, that creates a large strain on any relationship, whether it is marriage or just people dating. Thankfully, they worked through that as well, but the allegations had some truth to it, which definitely makes him unworthy of her.

They have been seen more than once by paparazzi looking like they are fighting or in a bad mood, but thankfully no one has ever captured Jessica in her sad moments of finding out what had happened behind her back. Justin definitely should get himself together. (Source: Thestir.cafemom.com, Screenrant.com)

they were no strangers to fights

Looks like the couple lacked some basic understanding from before marriage. Well, who was more interested in marriage was a question, but Jessica seemed to be more involved in it. Justin’s grandmother Boomer announced that the couple would soon get married just after they completed their vacation in Wyoming. But, there was some prenuptial agreement between the two which made the situation even worse.

Boomer had to say that Jessica wanted Justin to sign a fidelity bond that if he were found to be disloyal to her, she would demand compensation of 500,000 dollars. It might be Jessica wanted security and Justin took that as a wrong way to start a relationship. Whatever happened was not very clear. When the couple decided to tie the knots after returning from a vacation, the contracts were signed and they got married.

Sure, to some this might seem like a great way to ruin a wedding, but really, Jessica did the smarter thing, and too bad for Justin for assuming the worst of her. After all, he was the one who needed this contract because of what he had done in the past, which basically means Jessica HAD to have this contact in order to ensure she would be okay if they would ever get divorced.

the wedding

Timberlake and Jessica’s wedding was a costly affair. It was reported that the total cost was around 6.5 million USD. The couple spent more than a million USD on renting an Italian resort, the Borgo Egnazia in Fasano and they spent approximately 100,000 USD on fireworks, drinks, food and about 100 guests. All things considered, that's actually a small wedding in terms of people.

Notable personalities among the guests were Jimmy Fallon, Andy Samberg, and also Beverly Mitchell, who was the bride’s 7th Heaven co-star. It was practically a royal wedding, but then again, most celeb weddings are like that.

The proposal itself was quite sweet. Justin told Amazon Music, “When I did propose, I was saying to her, I was like, ‘Oh look at the shadows on the mountains,’ and I had the ring on my pinkie. I was like, ‘Look at the shadows over there on the mountains,’ and she was like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s beautiful,’"

Jessica was overwhelmed and of course, she was a major planner of her own wedding. She broke the rule of wearing white and wore a pink wedding dress instead, once again taking matters into her own hands. (Source: Radaronline.com;Screenrant.com)

the third person in their relationship was rumours

All Hollywood couples are taken down sometimes by rumors. Some couples make jokes about it, others put their foot down, but it always gets people a little bit nervous.

Justin and Jessica have been on the back end of that more than once. Justin was not always loyal, and that is a known fact, but sometimes, things just ended up being rumors, such as his relationship with Mila Kunis. They were just friends, but Hollywood tabloids refused to play that card. They needed something to sell, and a scandal was always better than the truth. They played him as a womanizer, saying that the attraction between Mila and Justin was too much, and that flirting existed on and off set. While the rumors were denied, over and over again, it likely brought up some bad memories of Jessica's past.

That explains why Jessica was so serious about getting a prenuptial agreement signed. She clearly had some doubts that her husband might not be trusted for a trustworthy relationship, and he likely resented that too. While we understand where he is coming from in that sense, considering the circumstances, and considering what he had done in the past, he really doesn't get a free pass. Jessica put her heart out on the line, and she was smart enough to have a plan in case he decided to stomp on it again. (Source: Zimbio.com, Screenrant.com)

TIMBERLAKE KEPT BIEL IN DARK REGARDING OLIVIA MUNN

Olivia Munn and Timberlake were shooting for Perfect Couples and met during an event for MySpace. They both became close to one another, and Justin tried to be close to Munn saying that everything between him and Biel was just over.

A source told US Weekly, Timberlake "has been telling people it’s over with Jessica, even though "the reality is he's just doing it behind her back."

Munn called him in a hotel where they came physically close to each other. According to US Weekly, when Justin met Olivia, he was after her for her number and continuously asked for dates. At the beginning Olivia resisted, but then she began to fall for him also. While some say that Munn invited Timberlake to her hotel, but both publicists from the celebs deny the entire thing.

A husband who is loyal to his wife should at least speak up and tell the truth if he had ever made a mistake in the relationship. Things definitely took a turn for the worst after that, obviously, which once again brings up the fact that Jessica knew she needed a contract to keep herself safe. Sometimes love is simply not enough, and people need something to take away their anxiety in concerns of the situation. This was definitely such a case.. (Source: Usmagazine.com;Screenrant.com)

TIMBERLAKE ONCE PREFERRED MILA KUNIS TO BIEL

The Daily Mail reports, "An onlooker dining at the Japanese restaurant in Berkley Square told MailOnline that the pair were sat next to each other, despite being with a large group of friends and were seen acting really ‘cute together.’ A source told MailOnline: ‘They were cosying up to each other and she barked at him “Jay” to follow her. It was like a real girlfriend bark.’ And another diner agreed saying: ‘She yelled at Justin across the restaurant in a way that can only mean one thing.’ And the group certainly made the most of the evening with Justin and Mila drinking shots with their party."

A few months before the film was when Justin and Jessica had split, but he seriously didn't take his time before waiting to try and pursue something with someone else. While Jessica was busy nurturing a broken heart, or even seeing people with class, Justin was running around and doing what he wanted. Mila was reported as having nothing to do with their breakup, and it was never confirmed whether or not they were even seeing each other, but they were definitely getting cosy together on multiple occasions, which raised a lot of eyebrows.  (Source: Hollywoodlife.com, Screenrant.com)

REASONS BEHIND THE BREAK-UP

There were enough of splits, disputes, and rumors with the couple, Jessica and Timberlake. While being interviewed by the magazine Vanity Fair, Timberlake mentioned that Jessica is the most important person in his life. He said that it’s unfortunate that both of them are not together in the relationship but she holds an important position in his life. Timberlake remains a gentleman and says that he would not like to open up facts that lead to the split of him and Jessica. Six months before the split, both would have liked to go for a family but not after that and even, they are no more interested in talking on it.

Well, there are several factors that sum up the reasons why the couple had a split.

First and foremost, the marriage was solely a wish of Jessica with little interest from Timberlake, according to sources. Secondly, there was lack of trust and questions of fidelity for what Jessica wanted to sign a prenuptial agreement. Thirdly, there was third person involvement which made the relationship bitter, and they broke off before it took off. For Jessica, it must have been a tough time to get through all these and accept that the relationship, although still going strong, might always be a little one sided.

THE 2013 SCANDAL OF LINDSAY LOHAN

According to the new edition of magazine In Touch, they were making a list in the Beverly Hills Hotels on January 30th, 2013. Some sources said that they were giggling and talking about the people who are doing unethical things in the industry. Lindsay sold the list of 36 names of the men she had been with to them, and then gained some superficial popularity. But the men involved had a tough time, especially Timberlake. Well, maybe she was personally trying to impress friends with whom they wanted to toss aside. She openly said that she was involved with Timberlake. Before that, she saw that Timberlake was kissing some woman in a club and secretly clicked pictures on it. When she exposed the real side of Timberlake, that naturally caused a stir in the media.

It became a complicated scandal for Jessica of course because the issue there is no one knows when this happened. Jessica, of course, takes everything with extreme grace, but we are so very sure that she was thinking about the contract that she made him sign. While we all hope that he did this when they were not with each other, it is still something terrible for Jessica to find out through the media. That is so not something a husband should let his wife find out through tabloids. (Source: Dailymail.co.uk, Screenrant.com)

TIMBERLAKE INVOLVED WITH SINGER BASHFORD IN 2014

According to an anonymous inside source, Zenya Bashford was dancing with Timberlake in a Paris Club. They became close and had an intense relationship. According to Inquisitr, during his current 20/20 tour, his relationship with Bashford went deeper, and they went crazy in the nightclub. Jessica knew that there are several women in Justin’s life who want something from him.

Well, the tabloids also have to maintain their business. But, it’s true that if anything is being rumored around, there must have been something that had occurred. Well, Jessica seems to be fed up and confused with all the relationships Justin was holding. It’s really a difficult thing to prove that one is having a relationship just by means of pictures when they are talking or even dancing. Confused? Well, you must be, so was Jessica Biel.

Still, in the end, it was all chalked up to them just being two friends who enjoyed each other's company and liked to dance together. Sometimes in Hollywood, things get taken out of hand and out of context, which is never good for anyone. Thankfully, this rumor was not able to get too far. (Source: Inquisitr.com, Screenrant.com)

DATING RUMORS BETWEEN JESSICA AND GERARD BUTLER

Jessica and Gerard Butler were together while filming on a location at Shreveport, Loss Angeles. They were shooting for Playing the Field, and the co-stars were playing onscreen lovers. While they were spending time away from the camera, they were having dinner dates and also a Margarita-fueled evening out while celebrating a crew member’s birthday. Jessica was thought to be a single woman and Gerard was a womanizer. The two spent  a lot of time together. Might be they started just as friends and then their relationship became somewhat of a serious relationship. Of course, both Biel and Butler have experience in dating their co-stars.

Timberlake, on the other hand, was enjoying a great time with Cameron Diaz and co-star Mila Kunis, while Jessica was getting involved with Gerard. It's quite a natural human tendency to be close to a person when you miss someone else, as you need the connection. It is also natural in Hollywood for that rebound to be a co-star. That is exactly what happened to Biel, and that prompted her to get closer to Gerard. No one was really on board with this particular relationship, and apparently neither was Jessica. It seemed that she was just biding her time until she and Justin would get back together, which she did. Still, unlike Justin, she was not in the tabloids, and kept to herself during this time.

CLASHES OVER THE SECOND TIME PREGNANCY

Both Biel and Jessica were happy at the announcement of their baby. When Biel was pregnant, they took a photo when Justin was kissing her tummy in January 2015, which was the third year of their marriage. They reportedly announced the birth of their son Silas in 2015. When the couple was happy about the arrival of their son, they underwent many interviews. They also looked delighted and glowed at the announcement of their extension of the family. After that, there were reports of growing tension between the two. In December 2017, when the couple was interviewed by In Touch Weekly, Jessica and Justin clashed as when to have their second baby. While Justin wanted to have a baby just after the birth of Silas, Jessica wanted to pursue her career. Looks like they were not sure when exactly to have the next baby.

For a working woman and an actress like Jessica, it’s normal to concentrate on her career after she delivered a baby. But Justin wanted that the baby is delivered quite next to the first one. Well, as a father he was justified. But if you see from the career point of view, Biel was unhappy. Looks like they didn’t have a common platform from the very beginning of their relationship. (Source: Screenrant.com)

THEY WENT TO A MARRIAGE COUNSELLOR

Justin wanted Jessica to put a hold on her career and have a second baby as he preferred a large family. Jessica was not ready and wanted to pursue her career. It caused considerable tension between the couple in the year 2016 and 2017. They wanted to see a marriage counselor to resolve their differences.

In Touch Weekly reported, "It’s caused so much tension in their marriage that Justin, 36, and Jessica, 35, have “been seeking therapy,” says the insider. “Justin seems miserable.” Justin feels Jessica went back on her word. Originally, “Jessica had planned to raise their kids without nannies and even considered moving out of LA,” says the insider. But she experienced some major career boosts: In March 2016, Jessica and her partners opened the popular, kid-friendly eatery Au Fudge in West Hollywood. Nearly a year later, she returned to TV as the star and executive producer of the celebrated USA crime drama The Sinner. Now, says the insider, “Jessica feels that there’s no rush [to have more kids]. And Justin feels like Jessica’s changed their plans without notice.”

For any couple, adding a child is a challenge in a lot of ways, and it is definitely an extreme commitment. However, for a celebrity, sometimes it is about making sacrifices, and for a woman especially. Jessica was not willing to give it all up just because her husband told her to, and that is why we love her. Not everything is about you, Justin!

settling down

After they got married, the couple clashed on where they should settle down to raise their children. They were unable to devote time as their schedules clashed. They are working couple and had different preferences for their career. They were in a dilemma on which city to settle and raise their son.

US Weekly reported that in early 2015 they agreed to raise their son in the Yellowstone Club estate which is in the mountains of Montana. Later they purchased a duplex costing 20 million dollars on Greenwich in the lower Manhattan Tribeca neighborhood. Jessica said that she was selfish before she met Justin and never thought of settling down or get married. When interviewed by Reddit, she said that she never thought of anything apart from her career. But when Jessica met Justin, her thoughts changed, and she desired for a family of her own. She mentioned that meeting her husband inspired her to have a family of her own.

When Jessica was asked about what she does with her family, husband and a two-year-old son it seemed to be quite ordinary. She basically enjoys doing nothing. She likes chilling with her family, enjoying her time home with her husband and son, and happy to be away from the city lights. (Source: Iol.co.za;Screenrant.com)

THE "AU FUDGE" scandal CAUSED STRAIN

Jessica is the owner of Au Fudge restaurant, which is a children’s specialty restaurant. Jessica Biel and her business partners own it. Now they have faced a lawsuit that claimed more than 430,000$ in terms of gratuities from their employees as they say the employees were denied meals and breaks. Now according to the report obtained from PEOPLE, there were nine former employees including stylist Estee Stanley, Jonathan Rollo and many more who wrongfully converted a part of the private events and buyouts in paying the rent of the restaurant.

There was obviously substantial stress from this incident. And the stress got carried on to Jessica's personal life which affected her marriage life too. Might be this is the reason the couple was financially strained and squeezed out of Hollywood.

She has said more than once that her family obviously plays a very important part in her life, however, she is a woman who needs more than just a husband and children. She needs a life of her own, and wants to exist separate from Justin, and not be remembered as just "Justin Timberlake's Wife". Justin wanted her to push out babies and it got them in therapy, but once again Jessica is not one to bend so easily. (Source: People.com; Screenrant.com)

JESSICA'S ROLE IN "THE SINNER" IMPACTED HER PERSONAL LIFE

Jessica’s role in the film ‘The Sinner’ had a significant impact on her personal life. The character she played was a mother with some slightly violent tendencies. This role she was playing effected her so much that she actually needed help to get out of it. Much like Heath Ledger's Joker, sometimes a role can take over someone so completely that they become the character, and that is sometimes even scarier than whatever character they might be playing. That moment when fantasy bleeds into reality, it is not ideal at all. What makes Jessica so admirable, however, is that she took the initiative to do this for herself, in order to go back home as someone healthier.

She mentioned to the NY Times, “Cora is very draining — she’s tiring, for sure. At the end of the day, you’re like: ‘Why did I do this? This is so hard. I can’t cry another tear if you paid me a million dollars.’ But it’s a very satisfying work experience, as well as one of the most consistently stressful and exhausting.” So although she likes the work she put in, she definitely needed some extra help to get herself out. She definitely puts an extra something into her career that her husband does not. (Source:Metro.co.uk;Screenrant.com)

JUSTIN AND HIS TATTOOS

Justin is covered in tattoos. There are total five tattoos on his body all dedicated to the person he loves in life. The tattoos are dedicated to his twin sister, Laura Katherine who passed away as soon as they were born. There's a tattoo with the initial name as Guardian Angel or the celestial figure that goes for his mother. There is another one that is dedicated to the woman he is married to, and that of course was dedicated to Biel. The couple definitely takes their marriage seriously, but one might think that this is crossing a line, and once again shows how he is rash in making decisions, and doesn't always take everything into account.

Celebrities often believe that being covered in tattoos express their freedom of expression as well as priorities of life. Having the name of his wife tattooed is a significant factor and bears testimony to the fact that he is too serious with her. He expressed that in various interviews that Jessica played a vital part in his love life.

When a man makes a permanent mark like a tattoo in his body to remember a woman throughout his life, it is a sign that he is serious with her. But sometimes it is something that they regret. Thankfully Jessica has not added any permanent drawings to her body. (Source: Screenrant.com)

JUSTIN ADMITTED THAT HE HAS problems

Timberlake is suffering from "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)" and "Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)." The singer aged 27 years, leads a normal life but he has these disorders and is not afraid to talk about them.

People who have ADD, tend to have heightened distractibility, inattention, and forgetfulness. Might be this is the reason why he was unable to give full attention the first time he was with Biel. Biel was sincere, but a working woman who couldn’t give full attention to his family and his husband, which might not have worked for a guy who needs things in a very particular order. That would surely cause some friction between the two of them, and maybe they just needed the years to learn to work through it together.

There are challenges which can be won over with cooperation and understanding. Biel definitely did her best and continues to do her best, as it clearly shows how much work she puts into the marriage. She has her career, makes a lot of decisions for them, chooses not to look at all the rumours, and manages to keep her head held high. He better be counting his blessings. (Source: Screenrant.com)
