Us Weekly confirms: Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake are expecting their first baby

Everyone with even a passing interest in gossip realized weeks ago that Jessica Biel is knocked up. We just never got a confirmation on it. Until now? Sort of. Us Weekly’s “sources” confirm the news, news which has been percolating for a good month. There were exclusive photos of Biel in a swimsuit, looking rather bumpy. Then there were more exclusive photos of Biel looking VERY bumpy. Then an editor for InStyle “congratulated” Jessica on her pregnancy on Twitter. My guess is that Jessica and Justin wanted to wait until she was well into her second trimester, but they were dropping hints to friends, family and colleagues.

Biel’s having a baby! Jessica Biel is pregnant and expecting her first child with Justin Timberlake, multiple sources reveal in the new issue of Us Weekly.

“Right now they are just enjoying the news for themselves,” one pal tells Us of the Blunderer actress, 32, and Timberlake, 33, who dated on and off for five years before getting engaged in January 2012. “They just want a happy baby.”

Family is important to the couple, who celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in October. “It’s weird because it feels like almost nothing has changed, yet something that you can’t really describe, or something that isn’t tangible, has changed,” Biel told Ellen DeGeneres of married life after returning from her honeymoon in 2012. “It just feels incredible.”

Her spouse shared the same sentiment when seated next to DeGeneres in April 2013. “It’s nice to marry your best friend. It suits me,” the former ‘N Sync singer said at the time. “Every once in a while I can catch a glimpse of her when she doesn’t see me looking, and I have this moment where I’m like, ‘If you never make a good decision…if you only make bad decisions for the rest of your life. You made one really good decision.'”

Both soon-to-be parents have juggled busy schedules this year, with Biel often accompanying Timberlake on the road for his 20/20 Experience tour. Last month, the 7th Heaven alum was photographed in a black bikini while visiting him in Hawaii. Luckily for Biel, pregnancy cravings won’t be an issue once Timberlake returns home. “He bakes pies. He’s Southern, so he’s got all this influence from his grandma,” Biel said of the dad-to-be to Elle in January 2013. “He does a three-layer pie…and blueberry crunch cake, which is pretty unbelievable. It doesn’t happen all that often, thank God. Otherwise, it would be a big problem.”

“[Marriage] means always having someone there to open the pickle jar,” she added to the mag. “To share the ups and downs with, have adventures with. Someone to go swimming naked with. That kind of thing.”

Justin bakes pies? Justin is the Blake Lively in this relationship?!?! And I love how even Us Weekly has to stretch a bit to make it sound like Jessica is “busy.” She follows Justin around on tour… when he lets her. But never to Paris, amirite? She also auditions for roles but rarely gets anything. She tries to convince people she’s up for a role in True Detective. And that’s how busy she was. In any case, I do believe Jessica is knocked up and I’m happy for her and for Justin. I’m interested to see if Justin becomes a “changed man” like Ashton Kutcher. We’ll see.

    Shocking! (Or not.)

    I don’t see parenthood changing either of these two. She’ll haul out her baby for her new lifestyle brand now and then, leave it at home with the nanny when it’s time to go to fashion shows, and he’ll keep behaving as he always has.

  2. don't kill me i'm french says:

    What no-news!! I think JT or Jessica ‘s fans knew it for one month

  3. LIVEALOT says:

    the contrast between the top photo and the bang trauma one is frightening. She RADIATES in that top photo. Just beautiful.

  4. Belle says:

    I wouldn’t be surprised if she replaces Jessica Alba as the new face of talking all day about their baby, launching a website, giving motherly advice, cause you know the acting thing is not happening.

    • Jag says:

      Alba’s baby business is worth a billion dollars, if memory serves me, so I can definitely see Biel trying. (Even though the Honor brand has been lying about some of its products. I don’t understand how it’s doing so well.)

  5. TTMuch says:

    NOW the backflips?? NOW??

  6. Daniella says:

    so still no official confirmation from their reps…..interesting

  7. Abbicci says:

    They’ve only been married since 2012? Why does it seem like they have been married forever?

  8. Diana says:

    Good for them! I know this is not the prevailing sentiment around here but I actually like them as a couple and I truly believe their affection for each other is genuine. They’re a cute couple, can’t wait to see what their kid will look like. Probably a wild-haired moppet just like Justin before he started taming the curls.

  9. Jaderu says:

    Isn’t she opening a restaurant for babies? I heard that right? Maybe I made it up in my mind.

    • Ag says:

      i can’t confirm or deny that rumor, but i do have two reactions. a) that’d be awesome; but also b) i can’t stand being around other people’s children… haha

  10. Kiddo says:

    Obviously I don’t know them personally, but they just seem entirely mismatched. Does anyone else feel this vibe?

    • Jess says:

      Yep, definitely a mismatched pair. I can’t figure out why though, something is just off.

    • scout says:

      Yup!! Always thought that. They are like brother and sister, he is so boyish.

    • Bria says:

      I’ve never disliked them as a couple but, I’m surprised they are having a baby…it’s always seemed that Jessica is more invested in their relationship than he is. You never see them together unless it’s a premiere or blk-tie event. There aren’t even candid pictures on them together on their instagrams. It’s kinda sad :-/

  11. Kim1 says:

    Congrats to them
    Congrats to singer Kelly Rowland who gave birth to a son last night.

  12. Ag says:

    congrats to them.

  13. Rhiley says:

    To be honest, I am very interested to see what kind of father JT will be. He just seems too ocd, selfish, self obsessed, and too much of a whiny mama’s boy to be even remotely interested in being a father. Doesn’t he buy a pair of underwear for each day of the year so he never has the wear the same pair twice? Uh, JT babies puke, poop, and eat mushy food. They are germy and very very messy. They need things like hugs and kisses. I know Jessica will be a very involved mom but I have my doubts about her husband. Serious doubts.

  14. funcakes says:

    Let the divorce countdown begin.

  15. QQ says:

    Yaaayy Now he can have a club with Ashton and Robin Thicke “Douchey Dads Inc.”

    • Rhiley says:

      Yeah, I kind of wonder why Ben Affleck gets a pass from the douchey dad club. He always looks kind of put out when he is alone with his kids. Ashton is my new favorite douchey dad. Everyone thought he was so sweet when he was on the talk show but it irked me that he kept calling the little girl “it.” Ugh. I am being picky because I cannot stand Ashton Kutcher, but he probably is taking to fatherhood pretty well a month in. Robin Thicke is just a sad sack. Does he even see his poor son?

    • Jaderu says:

      I forgot that Robin Thicke had procreated. The mind does funny things to obscure the horror of this world.

    I don’t think I’d be able to stomach that voice giving me advice on motherhood. I can already imagine her being Gisele.2
