Jessica Biel turns 41 on Friday, and she’s aging like a fine wine, according to her gushing husband, Justin Timberlake!

The “Rock Your Body” singer took to Instagram on Friday and posted a carousel of photos honoring Jessica, who is seen picking grapes at a vineyard in the launching image. The other photos show her glammed up and also hanging out on the golf course dressed to the nines in colorful golf attire.

“Let me tell y’all about this human… she is the most badass, most graceful, most gorgeous DREAM of a partner I could have ever wished for,” he captioned the post. “And today is her bday! I’m so glad you were born, my love. And, I’m so lucky that you are choosing to do this thing called life with me. Aging like a FINE🍷!!!! I love you to the moon and back.”

He signed off “Huz,” as in “husband.”

Jessica also took to her Instagram account and posted three photos of the couple wearing sunglasses, which she described as her “third eye.”

“Birthday vibes so bright I had to see it with my third eye,” she wrote in her caption. “Thanks for all the lovely wishes!”


The birthday shout-out comes just over a month after Jessica paid tribute to the “huz” after he turned 42 on Jan. 31. In that post, she called Justin an inspiration and “the person who makes the ordinary extraordinary.”

The couple has shared life-changing moments since tying the knot during a romantic ceremony in Italy on Oct. 19, 2012. They’ve since welcomed two sons, had multiple professional collaborations, meaningful birthdays and more.

Jessica opened up to ET in May 2022 about their love, and how her husband keeps the romance alive. “Well, 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,” Jessica shared. “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.”

In honor of Jessica’s birthday, ET is looking back at her and Justin’s early romance, wedded bliss and all the moments in between.

January 2007: Justin and Jessica Make It Official

Justin and Jessica finally stepped out publicly with their romance in January 2007. The confirmation came after Justin split from Cameron Diaz and Jessica called it quits with Derek Jeter. For the first half of their relationship, the duo played it coy, not providing any details about their romance.

Justin eventually shared how their relationship blossomed from friends to lovers. “When I met Jess, it was undeniable how beautiful she is. We were at a surprise party in Hollywood at a speakeasy kind of a bar, a private club, and we were standing around in a group of people,” he revealed in his 2018 book, Hindsight & All the Things I Can’t See in Front of Me. “I made some sort of sarcastic comment, really dry. Nobody got it except her. She laughed, and I noticed, all of a sudden, and in the way where you wonder if a person’s like you, if they have a very dry, dark sense of humor too.”

Justin added that he didn’t ask for her number that night. Instead, he waited until he saw her again at one of his shows — noting that it took a while for them to admit it was right. “We were both still seeing other people, keeping ourselves safe from getting hurt, from really putting ourselves out there,”” Justin wrote of that time period. “It took a bit for both of us to admit to ourselves that we were really, really into each other.”

January 2009: Keeping Their Romance Private

During an interview with British GQ, Jessica played it cool when asked about her love life. Instead of confirming that she was seeing the “Sexyback” singer, she instead referred to him as “one sparkly present,” adding, “And I don’t want to open it in front of strangers.”

“It was the most lovely, surprising, hilarious [proposal],” Jessica added. “I had this huge glove on, he was, like, ripping the glove off.” Biel joked that it was Justin’s “confidence” that made him not nervous to snowboard all day with the engagement ring in his pocket.

During an interview with Marie Claire, Jessica dished on the reason that she and Justin are such a match.

“We have similar values; we believe in loyalty, honesty. We like to have fun. We like a lot of the same things,” she told the magazine. “Also, in the business, we’re all very career-oriented, and you have to be a little selfish. I understand that about my peers — about being focused and driven — and if you can find that and someone who shares the same values as you, it’s like: Score!”

October 2019: Total Devotion

During an interview with ET, Jessica gushed about the love of her life and the moment she knew she was all in. “I knew that he was my person early on, but we were so young,” she said. “There wasn’t any big risks being taken. There wasn’t anything… really putting anything on the line. We were just hanging out.”

“I think before we got married, that’s when I was like, ‘Oh yeah, this is the person I want to be in the boat with when we hit the rapids, because we’re going to hit the rapids and we’re going to have to hold on tight,'” she continued. “‘Can you row? Because I can row, I think you can row, let’s try this.'”

The same year, JT echoed his wife’s sentiments, telling ET, “It’s like once you find that person, it’s like a baptism, where you’re like, ‘I can’t go back,’ you know what I mean? Like, I can’t go back, which is what fatherhood’s like too.”

December 2019: Justin Publicly Apologizes to Jessica

Justin was photographed holding hands with his Palmer co-star, Alisha Wainwright, and publicly apologized to Jessica. He insisted that he did not have an affair with Alisha.

“A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgment — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my co-star,” he shared. “I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior.”

“I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son,” he continued. “I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that.”

A source told ET that Justin and Jessica’s relationship was still solid after the apology.

“After Justin was spotted holding hands with his co-star, the couple took time to reconnect, spending much-needed quality time together,” the source said. “Justin and Jessica love one another very much and weren’t going to let this come between them, more so since Justin told Jessica he didn’t cheat, and she believes him.”

And do the things that you love together.”
