'I'm just happy': Justin Timberlake says he's thankful for two boys and a wonderful wife
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Timberlake is a proud husband and father who shared his joy for his family life on 'The Graham Norton Show.'
The singer, 43, opened up about his wife Jessica Biel, 41, and their sons Silas, eight, and Phineas, three, on Friday’s, February 23, episode of the British comedy talk show.
How Justin Timberlake finds inspiration from his family
The 'Better Place' singer was on the show to promote his upcoming album 'Everything I Thought I Was' which he said was inspired by his gratitude for his life with the '7th Heaven' alum and their children, People reported.
"I think it’s just, you get to a point in your life where you realize that all the things that have conspired really to get you to this point are beautiful," he said.
"And I don’t think I’ve ever taken the time to reflect and look at my life and say like, “wow this is really cool” and just be thankful for it," the former member of NSYNC added.
He played his new album – which drops on March 15 – for his family and friends who noticed that some of the songs reminded them of his previous albums.
"I was starting to play it for people close to me and they kept saying, oh that reminds me of something from 'Justified' my first album or that reminds me of something from 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' my second album," he said.
He explained that the title of the album came from the feedback he received from his loved ones.
"And then finally you know I finished playing them the songs and they said, “This sounds like everything we know you for, everything we thought we wanted from you.”
"And so that phrase started floating around in my mind," he added.

The 'Bye Bye Bye' hitmaker appeared on the show alongside Dua Lipa, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, and Adrian Lester, Daily Mail noted.
Justin Timberlake's past with Britney Spears
Justin Timberlake would have been a father-of-three if he had not reportedly pressured his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears, 42, into having an abortion when she was 19 and they were dating.
"If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it," Britney wrote in her memoir 'The Woman In Me', adding, "And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father."
Spears further explained what she went through back then, writing, "To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life."
