Justin Timberlake has finally revealed the name of the youngest son he shares with Jessica Biel, following roughly six months of secrecy around their newborn child.
When the pair welcomed their son during lockdown last summer, they had kept the news fairly tight-lipped, with Biel, 38, reportedly giving birth to their new addition around July 2020.
At the time, the news was confirmed by Timberlake's friend and collaborator Brian McKnight, who told Hollywood Life last July:
"Having kids and having his family, I think [Justin] took some time to focus on those things because those things are very important.
"I think if he’s going to do music, he’s going to make sure that that's secure, and then he'll bring us into his music.
"And being inspired! He just had a new baby. I think that's going to be really inspiring for him and he'll have some new music based on that, I'm sure."
And now in a recent video call interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Timberlake revealed that their newest baby boy is called Phineas.
Check out the moment Timberlake reveals his son's unusual name:"He’s awesome and so cute. Nobody’s sleeping," Timberlake told Degeneres. "But we’re thrilled. We’re thrilled and couldn’t be happier. Very grateful."
The couple, who got married back in 2012 welcomed their first son Silas in April 2015.
Phineas' birth came months after photos surfaced of the 39-year-old actor holding hands with a female co-star, Alisha Wainwright in November 2019. The following month, Timberlake posted a public apology to Biel on his Instagram.
He wrote:
"I stay away from gossip as much as I can, but for my family I feel it is important to address recent rumors that are hurting the people I love.
"I displayed a strong lapse in judgment – but let me be clear – nothing happened between me and my co-star. I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior.
"I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son. I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that."
But this definitely looks like a new chapter for the family, and we can't wait to see more of little Phineas.
