Jessica Biel Praises Justin Timberlake, Calls Herself His “Number One Fan”
Jessica Biel isn’t shy about where her loyalty lies especially when it comes to her husband, Justin Timberlake.
The actor shared rare public comments about Timberlake while speaking with E! News host Justin Sylvester on the black carpet at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards on Jan. 4, where she enthusiastically praised the singer’s talent and stage presence.
“I am the number one fan; I feel like I’m up there with his number one fans,” Biel said. “He’s so amazing live. There’s just no one like him who can perform like him, who sings like him.”
Biel added that she fully embraces her role as a supportive, energetic concertgoer, even if it means drawing attention to herself in the crowd.
“He just brings so much joy,” she said. “I don’t care if I look like a crazy person. I’m going to dance my butt off for two and a half hours. I love his music, and I don’t care I adore him. I love him as an artist and a performer.”
Her comments came after Sylvester referenced viral videos that circulated during Timberlake’s 2024–25 Forget Tomorrow World Tour, showing Biel dancing enthusiastically in the audience at several shows.
While the tour was highly anticipated, it was not without challenges. Timberlake faced online criticism over select performances, and some tour dates were postponed or canceled due to health concerns. In July 2024, the singer revealed on Instagram that he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease, calling the condition “relentlessly debilitating” both mentally and physically.
Despite the setbacks, Biel has remained publicly supportive. Timberlake returned the favor during an October 2024 concert in Montreal, where he gave Biel a heartfelt shoutout from the stage to mark their 12th wedding anniversary. Standing behind the barricade, Biel exchanged blown kisses with her husband as he addressed the crowd.
Timberlake and Biel married in 2012 and share two children. Their first son, Silas, was born in April 2015, followed by their second son, Phineas, in 2020.
Though Biel typically keeps her personal life private, her recent remarks offered a rare glimpse into the couple’s dynamic one rooted in admiration, resilience and unapologetic support amid both career highs and public scrutiny.
