Justin Timberlake’s former N*SYNC boy band mate, Joey Fatone, accidentally confirmed Jessica Biel’s pregnancy before the couple had the chance to do it themselves.
The rumors have been swirling for months now but Biel’s emerging baby bump has made it impossible for them to keep it a secret any longer.
Maybe Fatone didn’t get the memo that it hasn’t been confirmed by the parents-to-be yet, but in any case, he told InTouch that Timberlake told him months ago.
“He told me a while ago, and I kept my mouth shut,” he said. “But now I can talk about it!”
He added, “Jessica is awesome, and Justin is a kid at heart. [They’ll have] fun.”
InStyle editor Ariel Foxman also seemed to confirm the news last month on Twitter when he tweeted, "Congrats @jessicabiel on your impending motherhood ... Looking forward to the red carpet maternity style pix to come.”
It looks like Timberlake is getting emotional about becoming a father, as Billboard reports he got choked onstage during his Barclays Center show on Sunday.
When a young fan, dressed in a suit and tie, presented him with a bow tie, Timberlake had to take a few seconds to compose himself.
“I might have to wear that on Christmas Day. I love you, kiddo. S--t, that got me,” he said.
