Jessica Biel finds it 'tricky' deciding how much of the showbiz life her children should see

Jessica Biel finds it a “tricky balance” deciding how much of the showbiz life her children should see.

The 43-year-old actress has sons Silas, 10, and four-year-old Phineas with her husband Justin Timberlake, 44, and reflected on the challenge while discussing her eldest boy’s recent appearance with her at the 2024 US Open.

Jessica told InStyle the decision to attend the tennis tournament together was made carefully after taking into account Silas’ enthusiasm for the sport and the inevitable media attention it would bring.

She said about exposing him to the spotlight: “It’s a tricky one, a tricky balance. We do really try hard not to expose them in a way that they’re not comfortable with.”

Jessica also explained Silas is a “huge fan” of tennis and had expressed interest in attending.

Even though he’s still young, the actress added he was part of a conversation around whether to go to the tennis with her.

She said: “We talked about photographers – you know, ‘Are you comfortable with that?’

“He can’t make these decisions on his own, but at this point, we can at least discuss what’s his opinion around it.

“You really want to give your kids every experience. I don’t know if it was the right decision, to be honest with you, but he and I had a good time.”
