Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have reaffirmed their dedication to each other following their DWI drama earlier this year.
A source close to the couple shared that they are “happier” now after their marriage was tested with the DWI incident.
A source said: “Jessica and Justin are spending more time together and are happier and more comfortable. US Weekly.
Timberlake was arrested in June for drunk driving while in the Hamptons. However, he has since turned his attention to his family and focused on Biel and their two sons, Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4.
“Justin has taken time to reassess his priorities. He’s not going out as much and is staying home more with Jessica and the kids,” the source added.
They went on to reveal that the “sexy back” singer had to find “new ways to connect” with the people he loves.
Insiders say that Biel has been supportive of Timberlake during this time, but she holds him accountable as he works to rebuild trust in their relationship.
“Jessica is showing patience and compassion while maintaining solid expectations of him,” they said before revealing that Timberlake and Biel are “prioritizing their strength as a family.”
After Timberlake was arrested for a DWI incident in June, he was taken into custody and stayed overnight. He was then brought to an arraignment hearing the next day and was subsequently charged with one count of DWI and two traffic violations.
At the time, Biel was said to be very upset with Timberlake.
A source said: “Jessica is extremely upset. She was shocked when she heard the news and didn’t know she was working. He’s really worried about him.” US Weekly at that time.
However, Biel still supported her man at one of his concerts later that month when Timberlake performed at Madison Square Garden.
In September, Timberlake appeared in court for the DWI case, accepting a lighter sentence for the traffic violation. As a result, he must complete 25 to 40 hours of community service with a nonprofit organization, pay a $500 fine and serve a public safety notice.
Timberlake apologized for the incident.
“Many of you have taken me under your wing throughout my life and, as you may know, I try to hold myself to a very high standard. This is not that. I see myself in a position that I could have achieved.” Another decision, but I’ve had time to reflect on it. What I want to say to everyone watching and listening: Even if it’s just one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car,” his speech said.
“There are so many alternatives, call a friend, take an Uber, there are many travel apps [or] take a taxi. This was my mistake, but I hope that those who are watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake,” the female singer added.
On October 4, the couple celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary.
