Jessica Biel is reportedly weighing whether to end her 13–year marriage to Justin Timberlake, with sources claiming the actress has issued a stark ultimatum after renewed scrutiny of his 2024 drink‑driving arrest in New York.
The 7th Heaven star, 44, is said to be 'sick of public embarrassment' and has warned the 45‑year‑old singer that if his behaviour does not change, their relationship may not survive.
Those close to Jessica Biel paint a picture of a woman who has spent years absorbing the collateral damage of her husband's missteps. One insider told OK! that Biel 'does everything with the kids and she's sick of being publicly embarrassed', referring to the couple's two sons, Silas, 11, and Phineas, 5.
According to that account, Biel has 'had it' with Timberlake's recent conduct, which includes not only the DWI arrest but his appearance at a Las Vegas golf event in April, where Page Six reported he seemed intoxicated towards the end of the day.
Another source quoted by the Daily Mail claimed the singer is 'never home', leaving his wife to carry most of the parenting load while also fronting the public fallout.
Privately, Biel is said to have drawn a line. One source described her stance as an ultimatum, saying she will 'pull the trigger' on the marriage if Timberlake slips again and that 'there's not much more she can take'.
As of this reporting, none of these alleged conversations has been confirmed by either Biel or Timberlake's representatives.
Behind the scenes,Jessica Biel reportedly tried to prevent the DWI footage from ever seeing the light of day.
An insider told OK! there was 'a very deliberate effort behind the scenes driven by Jessica to try and prevent that footage from ever becoming public', describing the months around its release as 'incredibly tense and emotionally draining' for her.
The same source said Biel was worried about the 'fallout' for their family, insisting the images 'don't exactly reflect Justin as the man she knows he can be.'
