Justin Timberlake And Jessica Biel have nothing to fear, not on Mother’s Day.
The singer honored his wife on the special day, essentially denying reports that his marriage to the actress was under strain and in danger of falling apart.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel previously stoked speculation about trouble in the marriage when he was arrested for driving under the influence after running a stop sign in Sag Harbor in 2024.
On Sunday, May 10, 2026, Timberlake uploaded a touching Mother’s Day message to celebrate Jessica and her wonderful achievements within their family. Despite recent reports that they were struggling, the singer described Jessica and her mother as “the greatest” women he knows.
In the first image, he uploaded a photo of them posing from behind with their two sons, Silas and Phineas. He also added another selfie of himself and Biel, as well as an image of himself and his mother, Lynn Bomar Harless.
Timberlake’s mother appeared in the comments, acknowledging her son’s praise: “Awww! This makes me smile! Being your mom and Si and Phin’s Grammy Lynn are the greatest joys of my life! I love you all with all my heart and soul, and I’m so lucky to have you all in my life!”
Other fans and commenters praised Harless and Biel for sticking by the pop star and helping him become an artist everyone admires.
The couple’s marriage reportedly changed following the singer’s health problems
Biel and Timberlake’s nearly 15-year union has not gone smoothly, with the couple facing several controversies, including the Janet Jackson drama, allegations from Britney Spears’ memoir, and her 2024 drunk driving arrest.
However, the singer’s latest Lyme disease diagnosis served as a saving grace in dark times, as his wife began to approach their relationship with compassion and a lot of patience. As noted by The Blast, a source close to the couple noted that the diagnosis gave Biel a better understanding of many of the struggles they faced behind closed doors.
“A lot of their issues had to do with communication, and a lot of it had to do with things out of her control. When Jessica learned more, it completely changed the way she viewed her actions. Jessica became more understanding,” the source said.
The father-of-two revealed he was diagnosed with the illness in July 2025, shortly after finishing his ‘Forget Tomorrow World Tour’. He described his experience during the tour as fun, emotional, rewarding, physically demanding and exhausting.
The musician added that dealing with Lyme disease in the midst of all this also made it one of the most exhausting times of his life. Despite his vulnerability, Timberlake said his message was not intended to gain sympathy from anyone but to raise awareness about the disease.
He encouraged people living near those battling Lyme disease to always approach them with kindness, as it can be “relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.”
The singer stressed that it was not an easy decision to go public with his diagnosis, but that it was necessary to help raise awareness about an issue that people might misunderstand if the news spread.
Jessica Biel felt uncomfortable about the release of her husband’s DUI music video
Video of his encounter with the cops in Sag Harbor in 2024 surfaced on the internet on March 20, 2026, shared by The Blast. Although the release gave deeper context to the arrest, for Biel it came at such a terrible time that it left her unhappy.
A close source shared that Biel reiterated that her husband had a reason to fight to keep the video out of the public eye, and that its release represented a stressful situation for her, one that she would love to recover from.
Biel was reportedly frustrated by the arrest and the drama, giving the singer a timetable to change his life or their marriage could take a nosedive.
According to a source, the negative attention paid to Timberlake during this period has not been very pleasant. Aside from the tour schedule, Biel simply felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders.
The closed source added that the video did not portray Timberlake in a good light, as it showed him undergoing a field sobriety test, getting arrested, and ultimately being booked into the police station.
Inside Justin Timberlake’s Stop
Footage of Timberlake’s drunk driving arrest revealed the singer’s reaction when he was informed he would have to spend the night in jail. Throughout the video, Timberlake kept asking the officers why he was being detained, when it appeared he was misinformed about what was happening around him.
As The Blast stated, the arresting officer also seemed unaware of Timberlake’s celebrity status. The officer said that although the singer had mentioned that he was touring around the world, he still did not know who the Grammy-winning singer was.
Police arrested Timberlake, and in the process he attempted to joke about his race, although he later explained to officers that he did not intend to cause trouble with his actions. The DUI video was initially sealed when the parties involved reached an agreement, and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office even refused to make it public despite requests made under the public records law.
The released video shed light on the situation that led to Timberlake’s arrest in the Hamptons, including the events leading up to the arrest. Suffolk County Prosecutor Ray Tierney said at the time that the case was not handled differently and that he understood the need to maintain consistency in respecting the integrity of the justice system.
Congratulations to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel!
