“Thank you for being by my side. Now and always. I love you.”
Jessica Biel is sharing the sweet way she keeps her husband, pop star Justin Timberlake close.
In an interview with In Style, Biel opened up about how she keeps Timberlake close when they are apart for work.
“(This is) one of my husband's old T shirts, actually, that I stole from him 20 years ago, probably,” Biel shared while holding up the old t-shirt.
“We spend a lot of time apart,” Biel continued, referencing her job as an actress and Timberlake’s job as both an actor and singer, “and we definitely spent a lot of time apart when we were younger.”
Biel and Timberlake first starting dating in 2007, according to People, after they were seen snowboarding together after they both experienced public breakups.
The couple would later go their separate ways in 2011, calling the decision to end their relationship “mutual,” People reported at the time.

However, Biel and Timberlake reconciled their differences months later, getting engaged in December 2011. They would get married in October 2012 and welcome two kids into the world, sons Silas and Phineas, born in 2015 and 2021 respectively.
“I think I would always want to just have something of his to travel with, you know, something that just makes you feel like home,” Biel continued telling In Style of the t-shirt she takes with her everywhere, “makes you feel connected to that person, and it smelled like him,” she said giving the shirt a sniff.
“Now it smells like me, which is a bummer. And it's one of his from, I think from childhood, like middle school,” she said. “It's on its last leg,” Biel noted holding up the shirt revealing that it’s now see-through.
“Do you see that like you can see through that? But I love this t shirt. It's so soft I wear it to bed I wear it around I wear it out I don't care I just wear it all the time.”
In the same interview with In Style, Biel called Timberlake her “chosen sister.”
“I would also consider my husband one of my chosen sisters. He’s also my best friend,” she said of her husband of nearly 15 years, after stating she’s “really lucky, because I have amazing groups of women kind of scattered throughout the country that have really been my rocks as I’ve grown up.”
“All of them together have gotten me through my life. I don’t know how I would have survived life without them.”
