It looks like celebrity couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have welcomed their second child, with confirmation coming from family friend and Timberlake’s former *NSYNC bandmate, Lance Bass.
The Hollywood Reporter says Bass confirmed rumors that Timberlake and Biel welcomed another child in a television interview. According to the 41-year-old, he, Timberlake, and Biel have known before everyone else did and that the couple is “very, very happy.”
Bass also shared that the news has also been the topic of conversation on the *NSYNC group chat, with the conversations supposedly centering only on the newborn child. However, Bass did stop short of revealing the new child’s name, saying that Timberlake would kill him.
Metro reports that Bass also confirmed that the baby is cute, taking after its parents Timberlake and Biel. The child would be a sibling to Timberlake and Biel’s firstborn, five-year-old boy Silas.
The publication also notes that the child comes eight months after Timberlake had to publicly apologize to Biel and his fans after being caught in what looked like an overly familiar situation with his co-star, Alisha Wainwright.
While Timberlake maintained that nothing happened between him and Wainwright, he did admit that he had too much to drink and displayed a lapse in judgment. He said that he regretted his behavior and that it was not something he would want his son to emulate.
Timberlake and Biel are just the latest celebrity couple to share their pregnancy news with the public. Two weeks ago, television personality Bindi Irwin updated fans about her pregnancy journey by sharing a sonogram photo.
The photo was shared on Instagram, with Irwin and her husband Chandler Powell holding a joey and a koala along with the sonogram showing their “Wildlife Warrior.” In the caption, Irwin said the baby is now the size of a hummingbird.
Aside from that, Irwin shared that her and Powell’s child would continue the wildlife preservation advocacy of her late father, Steve Irwin. Just like her and her father, Irwin said her child would appreciate the beauty of wildlife and protect the planet.
Irwin’s willingness to share about her pregnancy journey could also be in preparation for a rumored pregnancy special that would document her life during her pregnancy and after the birth of her child.
The show aims to enter syndication, which could lead to millions of dollars in earnings for Irwin and Powell. Irwin deciding to document her pregnancy journey isn’t so out-of-character for her, as she has been on television since she was a young child.
