Rumors are intensifying in the US press today that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are set to split after she was photographed with another guy.
Top-selling American magazine Star today reports in a cover story that Jess was seen on a night out with a tall, handsome mystery man in LA last week, with Justin nowhere to be seen.
‘He had his arm around her in a comforting, protective way,’ says a witness who saw them at a Toluca Lake sushi restaurant.
It’s believed Jess and Justin’s four-year marriage has been under strain for several months, with 34-year-old Jess said to be frustrated that Justin, 35, is never home to help her with their 17-month-old son Silas.
‘They’re at war over everything these days, from Justin’s rumored womanising to his demands that Jess puts everything on hold to have another baby,’ an insider told the magazine. ‘But Jessica can’t keep being Mrs Timberlake while Justin gets whatever he wants.’
In the past, famously friendly Justin has been outrageously linked to actress Olivia Munn, Zenya Bahsford, one of his backup dancers, and he’s close friends with his current movie co-star Anna Kendrick on the set of Trolls.
Now, talks are turning to what will happen to their $225m fortune in the event of a split.
’This has the potential to get very messy and very bitter, especially if there’s a custody fight over Silas,’ says Star’s source.
