Justin Timberlake Went From Boy-Band to Boy Dad! Meet the Singer’s Sons With Wife Jessica Biel
Justin Timberlake said bye, bye, bye to his boy-band days and hello to parenthood! The former ‘NSync frontman and wife Jessica Biel expanded their family after getting married in 2012 and have since navigated raising two kids. Most celebrity parents are adamant about keeping the privacy of their children intact, Justin and Jessica just aim to be normal parents.
"I try to be conscious of making sure we can live a life where we're not weirdly private," the "Rock Your Body" artist said during a 2021 appearance on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast. "But we're conscious of making sure they can be kids for as long as possible and not have the weight of somebody else treating them differently because of something that their parents do."
How Many Kids Does Justin Timberlake Have?
The Hollywood stars welcomed their first child, son Silas, in April 2015. They enjoyed their first months with their baby in private before sharing about their "amazing experience" publicly.
"It's an amazing, amazing experience. Incredibly hard - the hardest job in the world, and I've never been more thankful and grateful to my own mother," the 7th Heaven actress said on the Today show that October.
Silas' little brother, Phineas, joined the family sometime in summer 2020 and made sure his famous parents had no time to sleep.
"He's awesome and so cute. Nobody's sleeping. But we're thrilled. We're thrilled and couldn't be happier. Very grateful," Justin said on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in January 2021.
Five months later, Jessica agreed that it seemed like they kept the birth of their youngest son a secret, but that wasn't the case.
"I had, like, a secret COVID baby. It wasn't like it was supposed to be a secret. It was, just COVID happened, and then I went to Montana with my family and never left," the Candy star explained on the "Armchair Expert" podcast.
More recently, Justin celebrated Father's Day in 2021 while honoring those who showed him how to be a good father.
"Being a dad is better than I ever could have imagined," he wrote via Instagram. "Thankful to my dads and my grandfathers for leading the way, making the sacrifices for me to live out my dreams, and for teaching me that REAL LIFE happens in all the little moments. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!!!"
Jessica revealed in a May 2025 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that Phineas has started getting sassy with her.
"Let me tell you, the new phrase for my 4-year-old is, ‘Mom, you have the worst ideas,'" she said. "I'm like, he's 4 years old. I'm like, are we, we're already there?"
She said Silas feels the same way when she cheers him on at his baseball games, even if she just says, "Good job."
"I am so lame to them," she joked.
Do Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's Kids Know They Are Famous?
Phineas is a little too young to understand his parents' stardom, let alone know what words mean. However, his older brother is well aware that his Grammy-winning father sings popular songs, and his mother is a TV star. Does he care? Nope.
"Whenever he hears daddy's song he'll go ‘Oh yeah, that's Dad. No big deal, whatever,'" Jessica revealed during a 2021 appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
Not only that, but Silas refuses to watch his mother's kid friendly shows, like Pete the Cat.
"I tried to get him to watch the show, he will not watch. And yet he says, ‘Hey mom, hey mom, do one of those voices from the show' and I'm like ‘But you've never seen the show you don't even know,'" she continued. "He's just like ‘just do it mom,' so I'll do one of the voices and he'll be like, ‘cool mom, cool.'"
Though Jessica and Justin typically keep their boys out of the spotlight, Silas made a rare appearance at the U.S. Open with his mom in August 2024. Jessica told InStyle all about how she prepped her son for the event in a May 2025 interview.
"My son was 9 at the time, and he's a huge tennis fan - that's his sport, that's what he plays. We had this opportunity, and we talked about it. We talked about photographers. You know, ‘Are you comfortable with that?'" she said.
Jessica continued, "He can't make these decisions on his own, but at this point, we can at least discuss what's his opinion around it. You really want to give your kids every experience. I don't know if it was the right decision, to be honest with you, but he and I had a good time. … It's scary every time. But it's also their life. And so it's this really tricky, tricky thing to figure out, what's appropriate."
