Here's a 2021 update about what *our* boys are up to today.
We'll start with NSYNC.
First off, NSYNC were formed 26 years ago. 26 years ago!
Here's Chris then:
He is, of course, known for being a style icon. Remember his fashion line Fuman Skeeto?
And here's Chris now:
He's 49 and living in Nashville with his wife and son, Nash.
And here he is hosting a '90s party:
Joey then:
I like to think of his "Ronald McDonald" era as being his most iconic.
And Joey now:
He's 44 now and enjoying his full-on silver daddy era.
Here he is wishing his ex a happy Mother's Day with his 11-year-old daughter, Kloey.
He now self-identifies as "FAT-ONE."
And is really, really just embracing the "FAT-ONE" thing.
Oh yeah, Joey has a daughter who is 20 years old.
JC then:
He is best known as being the best singer of the band and also for his chinstrap and Karen-esque haircuts.
JC now:
He keeps a pretty low profile, but he did do this incredible cover of "Back for Good" with Gary Barlow from Take That.
Lance then:
Here he is on the beach, soaking wet in jeans.
Lance now:
He's 42 and has been married to his partner, Michael, since 2014.
And now they're expecting twins!
Justin then:
He is probably best known for his ramen noodle hair.
Justin now:
He turned 40 this year.
And has a 6-year-old son named Silas with Jessica Biel.
So, that was NSYNC.
And now let's look at the Backstreet Boys.
They've been together for 28 years. 28 years!
Nick then:
He's the youngest member of the group.
Nick now:
He's 41 and has three kids. I know there are two kids in this picture, but they just had their third earlier this year.
AJ then:
He wore a lot of cowboy hats and often times had weird facial hair.
AJ now:
He's 43 and has two daughters.
He's an ally.
And he will always be my favorite Backstreet Boy!!!
Kevin then:
TBH, I always thought he was the hottest one.
Kevin now:
He's the oldest member of the Backstreet Boys at 49. He turns 50 on October 3!
He also has a very cute dog named Baloo.
Howie then:
He always gave great face.
Howie now:
He is 48 and has two kids and a wife.
He celebrated his 13th wedding anniversary with his wife on a PJ.
Brian then:
Here's a picture of him with a big chain, sensible sweater, and some baggy shorts.
Brian now:
He's 46 with a wife and a teenage son.
Last year, we found out that Brian may or may not be a QAnon-believing Trump supporter.
Two days after the Capitol insurrection, Brian joined the conservative/QAnon-heavy social network Parler. It's a whole thing, and you can read about it here.
And there you have it: Everyone in your favorite boy bands has multiple kids, is married, over 40, and lives in the suburbs*.
*Except JC — honestly, good for him, because as my mom always said, "Kids are overrated."
