**Los Angeles, CA -** Following Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest in June and subsequent guilty plea to a lesser charge of driving while ability impaired (DWAI) in September, his wife, actress Jessica Biel, is speaking out, quashing rumors of marital discord and reaffirming their strong bond.

In a recent interview with InStyle, Biel emphasized the importance of family time, stating, “Spending time with the family unit is a huge priority right now, because I’ve been gone, Justin’s been gone.” Both have been busy with work, Timberlake on his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” and Biel filming upcoming projects.

Biel revealed that she and Timberlake enjoy activities like skiing and running together in their downtime, often spending time as a family in Big Sky, Montana. “These moments at this time feel kind of priceless,” she said, suggesting a renewed focus on their relationship after a challenging period.

Perhaps the most telling quote came when Biel reflected on her close friendships. “I would also consider my husband one of my chosen sisters,” she laughed, adding, “He’s also my best friend.”

Her comments echo reports from late 2024 indicating Timberlake was prioritizing his family. According to an insider speaking to Us Weekly in December, “Jessica and Justin are spending more time together and are happier and more relaxed,” adding that Biel is “showing patience and compassion while also maintaining firm expectations of him.”

Biel’s recent interview paints a picture of a couple committed to each other and their family, suggesting that the Timberlake’s legal troubles have ultimately brought them closer. The couple, married in 2012, share two children, Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4.
