Why Justin Timberlake Is Sometimes Envious of Jessica Biel’s Relationship with Their Son Silas

Justin Timberlake is enamored with his wife Jessica Biel and their 3½-year-old son Silas Randall — but that doesn’t mean their life is always like their cute family Instagram posts.

In his first book, Hindsight: & All the Things I Can’t See in Front of Me — which includes a collection of insights into his past and hundreds of photos from his personal archives — the singer-songwriter, 37, writes that during the 20/20 Experience World Tour, his “life changed forever” after the emotional moment he learned Biel, 36, was pregnant.

He had just finished a show in Detroit and Biel, whom he wed in October 2012, was scheduled to come visit him from Los Angeles in a few days. Timberlake got in the car and grabbed his phone, according to the book, out Tuesday.

“There was a text from Jess, in all capital letters. It read, ‘CALL ME NOW’. I FaceTimed her back immediately”, Timberlake writes. “She answered with this look on her face, and I knew exactly what she was going to say. Instead, she just held up the pregnancy test, and we both started bawling”.

He continues, “I ended the tour early so I could be at home and take care of my family”.

Originally wanting to “keep people away from [Silas]” when he was born (“We wanted him to be just for us, just for a little while”, Timberlake writes), the new parents eventually shared a photo of him.

“It was important to us to choose how to share him with the world because this is a whole new era for me”, explains Timberlake. “It’s no longer just about me. I have a wife, a child — a family. It’s terrifying. It’s invigorating. It’s more meaningful than anything I’ve ever been a part of”.
