While Timberlake was in the Hamptons on Monday night, his wife, Jessica Biel, was spotted filming her upcoming series The Better Sister in New York City earlier that same day. The Daily Mail published photos of Biel, 42, wearing medieval-themed clothing while in Central Park. She was all smiles while working on a scene with costar Corey Stoll.
Neither Timberlake nor Biel have spoken publicly of the arrest at the time of publication.
Timberlake’s recent brush with the law came after he and Biel shared rare family photos to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday, June 16. The couple, who have been married since 2012, share sons Silas, 9, and Phineas, 3.
“My 2 greatest gifts. I learn more about myself everyday just because you both chose me to be your Daddy,” Timberlake captioned a series of photos on Sunday. “I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys… to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life and to pick you up when you fall. And, of course, to flood you with insufferable Dad-jokes all along the way. I love you both so much. Thank you for giving me my biggest purpose.”
Biel referred to her husband as the family’s “rock” in her social media post.
“The rock we climb on, we lean against,” she added. “The rock that shades us from the sun. And when we recline on you, as we always do, hopefully our butts will keep you eternally grounded and warm. We LOVE YOU.”
