After Patricia Clarkson publicly praised Justin Timberlake for being “gifted” — did she ever hear from his wife, Jessica Biel?
During the Thursday, May 9, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Clarkson, 65, was asked about her past comments calling Timberlake “gifted below the waist.”
“I was working — not with him on that — but I was doing Friends With Benefits and I had to walk in on him and Mila Kunis. I walked in and he was nude,” Clarkson recalled. “I saw everything and he is really gifted.”
Host Andy Cohen noted that Timberlake “should have sent” Clarkson a gift for the positive exposure, to which she replied, “No. I was afraid I would hear from his wife because I wanted it clear that I [saw it on set].”
Clarkson confirmed she never heard from Biel, 43, or Timberlake, 44. “I didn’t hear from anyone and now I am angry,” she quipped.
Biel and Timberlake started dating in 2007 and tied the knot in 2012. They expanded their family with sons Silas in 2015 and Phineas in 2020.
Ahead of their 10th wedding anniversary, Biel praised Timberlake for how he spiced up their marriage. “I’ll have to give Justin the credit in this moment, for this one thing that he always says to me: ‘We might be married, but we have to keep dating,’ and it’s so true,” she told Entertainment Tonight in May 2022. “You just have to keep making time for each other and you have to keep making each other a priority. And do the things that you love together.”
Biel also reflected on her strong bond with Timberlake, telling Access Hollywood in April 2022, “I sometimes feel like 10 years has just flown by in the blink of an eye and other times I feel like, ‘Oh, my gosh, 10 years, that’s a really substantial amount of someone’s life.’ We’ve had our ups and downs like everybody and I’m just really proud of it and I’m still the happiest and loving my life.”
Biel continued to show her support during Timberlake’s The Forget Tomorrow World Tour. “They’re thriving as a couple,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2024, noting that Biel was “understandably nervous” about how the travel could affect their dynamic. “She’s not throwing all caution to the wind.”
Us confirmed in June 2024 that Timberlake was arrested with one count of driving while intoxicated. Timberlake subsequently agreed to a plea deal, accepting a lesser charge of traffic violation. He was ordered to complete 25 to 40 hours of community service with a nonprofit, pay a $500 fine and issue a public safety announcement.
While Biel didn’t publicly discuss the drama, she made appearances at Timberlake’s tour stops.
