Justin Timberlake Supports Jessica Biel at Film Premiere Amidst Anniversary and Past DWI Scandal
The couple celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary shortly before appearing together at the afterparty for Biel's new film, 'Matchbox the Movie,' two years after Timberlake's DWI arrest.
Justin Timberlake accompanied his wife, Jessica Biel, to the New York afterparty for her latest film, "Matchbox the Movie," on Monday night. Biel made a striking entrance, dressed in a black blazer and sheer bottoms, while Timberlake maintained a more subdued presence, wearing sunglasses despite the late hour.
The couple recently marked their 14th wedding anniversary with social media tributes. Timberlake shared a photo of them holding hands during a stroll, writing, "Happy anniversary ❤️." Biel reciprocated with a photo of her hugging him, adding, "14 down. Forever to go," and another of Timberlake with a face mask, calling him "my favorite person in every lifetime."
This public appearance comes more than two years after Timberlake's June 2024 arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, for driving while intoxicated. Police pulled him over for traffic violations, and he later pleaded guilty to impaired driving in September 2024. As part of a plea deal, he received a $500 fine, 25 hours of community service, and a 90-day license suspension, with the misdemeanor charge reduced to a noncriminal traffic violation. He also agreed to provide a public safety announcement about drunk driving.
Biel also shared Father's Day tributes to Timberlake, posting a photo of him skiing with their sons, Silas, 11, and Phineas, 6, and calling him "the best dad." She also shared an image of herself kissing Timberlake's cheek with the caption, "I love you ❤️."
"Matchbox the Movie," which stars Biel as Emmy, centers on a group of childhood friends whose reunion leads them to uncover a dangerous international plot. The film, also featuring John Cena, Sam Richardson, Arturo Castro, and Teyonah Parris, is directed by Sam Hargrave and is now available on Apple TV.
Timberlake and Biel, who have been together since 2007 with a brief separation in 2011, married in Italy in October 2012. Their relationship faced public scrutiny in 2019 when photos surfaced of Timberlake holding hands with his "Palmer" co-star Alisha Wainwright. Timberlake subsequently issued a public apology to Biel for his "strong lapse in judgement."
