Justin Timberlake Announces on 34th Birthday His Wife Is Pregnant

Justin Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, are expecting their first child together, Timberlake confirmed on his 34th birthday, via his Instagram account. Though Biel’s pregnancy had been rumored and had been written about in media sources, Timberlake’s Instagram post was the couple’s first official public acknowledgement that Biel is pregnant.

Justin Timberlake thanked everybody who had wished him a happy birthday in the Instagram post, and said that this year, he was “getting the GREATEST GIFT EVER. CAN’T WAIT.” Along with the words, he posted a photo of himself bending down and kissing his wife’s quite pregnant belly. Jessica Biel, 32, is reportedly in her third trimester, five months into her pregnancy.

Justin Timberlake first began dating Jessica Biel in 2007. The happy couple got married in Italy on October 19, 2012. He serenaded Biel as she walked down the aisle on their wedding day.

7th Heaven actress, Jessica Biel, has played a mom in Playing for Keeps, but this time, the role will be a real-life one for her. She said in an interview in 2012 on Good Morning America that the role made her think about what it would be like to be a mom one day.

Biel stated that being married to Justin Timberlake “feels like nothing’s changed, yet everything has changed.” She called “the idea of having sort of a partner in crime,” who is also one’s husband “is pretty amazing.”

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel do not yet know what the sex of their baby will be, wanting it to be a surprise to both of them. Timberlake joked that they were taking bets, though, in a series of hashtags that went with his Instagram post. The last one was #WeAreTakingBets.

One media source, Elle, has even come up with a nickname for the baby. A reporter there is referring to the unborn child as being a “Timberbaby.” Until the baby arrives and the couple give him or her a name, Timberbaby is probably as good of a way to refer to their child as any other.

Justin Timberlake is sure to be a good father to the baby, as he is pretty playful. Joey Fatone, one of Timberlake’s former NSYNC band members, stated in an interview with InTouch that Justin was “a kid at heart.”

Jessica Biel has been, reportedly, taking good care of herself and her unborn baby to ensure that she and the couple’s child will be healthy and that there will be as few complications as possible with the birth. Biel has been maintaining a special diet and fitness routine throughout her pregnancy.

According to a source who spoke to E! News, local farms have been making deliveries to Timberlake and Jessica Biel so that the actress “can eat fresh organic produce and be as healthy as possible throughout the pregnancy.” Biel has also been taking long walks, doing yoga and stretching to stay as physically fit as possible during her pregnancy.

With the Instagram announcement that Justin Timberlake made on his 34th birthday on Saturday, that his wife, Jessica Biel, was expecting the couple’s first child together, he officially confirmed what many people had been proclaiming for months now. Though Biel’s pregnancy was not really a secret, Timberlake’s Instagram post was the couple’s first official announcement that they have a baby on the way. The staff of Guardian Liberty Voice wishes to congratulate Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel on the good news!
