Jessica Biel gushed over her ‘rock’ Justin Timberlake, spotted filming in NYC before his DWI arrest
Jessica Biel was busy spending time with her family and working before husband Justin Timberlake was arrested for driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons.
The “Cry Me a River” singer, 43, was pulled over in Sag Harbor and taken into custody on Monday night, and was cited for running a stop sign and failure to keep in his lane. He appeared in court Tuesday and was released without bail.
Per Page Six, Timberlake was “with a bunch of friends” at the American Hotel on Main Street before he drove off around 12:30 a.m. Officers performed a field sobriety test on him, but he refused their request to take a breathalyzer test.
“His friends were telling the police, ‘Let him go, let him go,’” an insider told the outlet. The cop who pulled Timberlake over was also reportedly “so young that he didn’t even know” who the star was.
The source added: “He didn’t recognize him or his name.”
The day before, Biel, 42, celebrated her husband of 12 years with a sweet Father’s Day post on Instagram.
The “7th Heaven” actress shared rare photos of Timberlake with their sons Silas, 9, and Phineas, 3. In the first photo, Phineas climbed on his dad’s back as Timberlake was crouched over.
Biel also included a photo of Timberlake kissing her on the cheek in a selfie.
“You’re so many things to so many people. But to us you are THE ROCK,” Biel wrote. “The rock we climb on, we lean against. 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
,” she added.
The day of Timberlake’s DWI arrest, Biel was spotted filming the upcoming Prime Video thriller series “The Better Sister” in Central Park in New York City.
The mom of two wore medieval clothing, including a short-sleeved white top with a blue bodice and a long skirt. She had braids on the side of her long brunette hair.
Biel was joined by her co-stars Corey Stoll and Elizabeth Banks, who were also dressed in medieval clothing.
