Jessica Biel longs for never being apart from her sons
Jessica Biel wished her and Justin Timberlake's sons could accompany her wherever she goes.
Jessica Biel wishes she never had to be apart from her sons.
The 44-year-old actress has Silas, 11, and Phineas, five, with her 45-year-old husband, singer Justin Timberlake, and the Bleeding Heart star would have them by her side wherever she went if she could.
E! News asked Jessica what she would "shrink down and keep in my pocket all day", and she was quick to reply: "My kids! That would be great if they could just hang out right in a pocket, hanging with me all day long."
But, of course, Justin would be her second choice as Jessica recently hailed the Mirrors hitmaker her "best friend".
She told InStyle magazine: "I think having a partner who understands this industry and adjacent industries, like the music industry, has been really deeply important and profound for my life and for our partnership because he just understands when I'm working crazy long hours.
"We are able to support each other throughout strange schedules and time apart because we know that's just what it takes to make this kind of art."
Jessica recently admitted Silas and Phineas think she is "so lame", but the entertainer scored "some cool mom points" when she worked with ex-WWE wrestler John Cena, 49, on the action-comedy film, Matchbox.
Appearing on a May 2025 episode of NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jessica said: "They love him. They love him, and he’s so nice. He’s a lovable dude, and they are just crazy about him."
To prove how "crazy" the boys are about John, Jimmy, 51, produced an "all about my mom" worksheet which Phineas had filled in for Mother's Day.
On a section that began "my mom is", the youngster had shunned descriptors such as "an actress" and instead wrote "John Cena's friend".
Jimmy said: “I love that kid, c’mon."
Jessica laughed: "I died. That’s who I am to him, and I think if John and I ever fall out and we’re not friends anymore, I think I should go find a new family.”
On the worksheet, Phineas had amusingly written that his mom is "12-years-old" with hair that is "straight down brown" and eyes that are blue, despite them actually being green.
Despite the Blade: Trinity performer bagging "cool points" for being pals with John, Silas and Phineas still do not think she is a "cool" person.
Jimmy asked: "Do your kids know how cool their parents are?"
Jessica replied: “No. Not at all. No, Jimmy.
“Well. I think they think Justin's kind of cool 'cause the music element, and like, he's Daddy. I am so lame to them."
The youngsters think she has the "worst ideas" and are not interested in her feedback, however positive.
Jessica added: "Let me tell you, the new phrase for my four-year-old is, 'Mom, you have the worst ideas.' I'm like, are we … we're already there.
"Silas is like, 'Don't engage, Mom. Back up off the field.' He's playing baseball now. He's like, 'Don't say anything. Back up.' I'm like, 'I just said good job.' Like, 'Say nothing. Say nothing.'"
