Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel 'staying together only for the kids'
Insiders revealed that the couple, who are parents to Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, are “staying together for the kids,” even though they’ve “fallen out of love” and are just going through the motions.
“The only thing keeping them together is the kids," a source told Radar Online.
“Everything else beyond that in their marriage, at least what they show their friends, feels performative and deliberately played out for social media,” the insider added.
The source shared that Jessica Biel has been working hard as both a producer and an actress, with her next streaming series already completed.

“He’s moody and self-absorbed, and being away so much has resulted in little to no intimacy,” the source said, adding their romance has fizzled out.
Jessica Biel ‘has trust issues’ after Justin Timberlake’s past scandal
An insider told the outlet that the couple's relationship suffered a major blow after Justin Timberlake was seen holding hands with his 'Palmer' co-star Alisha Wainwright in 2019.
His DWI arrest last year and the public announcement following his guilty plea added further strain to the already shaky marriage.
Justin Timberlake you’re so lucky you’re white celebrity who privileged to have only received 25 hours of community service with a $500 dollar fine for driving under the influence aka ‘DWI.’

The marriage is evoking strange feelings of being fake, but Justin Timberlake frowns on accepting it, even as staying together for the children's sake reflects some respect.

“Justin hates admitting when anything is going less than great, but at some point, reality is going to catch up to both of them – and it’s not going to be pretty,” the insider added.
