“Part of Justin’s mea culpa to Jessica was to admit that he’d gotten into some bad habits and that he needs to dial everything way back,” an insider told In Touch Weekly. In addition to his alleged offense of drinking while intoxicated, the 43-year-old singer was also “busted with a vape pen.” Biel wasn’t too pleased by that discovery, so “he’s now agreed to totally ditch that for good, and he’s gone pretty much cold turkey on the booze, too,” according to the source.

Timberlake is “committed to a very clean life” after his driver’s license was suspended by the judge in his recent court hearing where he pleaded not guilty to the DWI charges. Biel, who was in Manhattan filming The Better Sister series for Amazon Prime when the arrest happened, was reportedly “colossally disappointed and embarrassed” by the incident. There’s going to be a lot of questions asked of Justin moving forward, without a doubt,” a source told The U.S. Sun in June.
The couple has already weathered his Janet Jackson and Britney Spears apologies along with his alleged cheating scandal with his Palmer co-star, Alisha Wainwright, in 2019. “Jessica has shown the patience of a saint forgiving his various misdeeds over the past few years, but this is really testing her patience and then some,” the source added. Now, it’s up to Timberlake to make things up to his wife and his two sons, Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4.
But, if we rewind five years, it seems like his close pals keep saying the same thing over and over to the press, though. “Justin has spent a lot of time apologizing and acknowledging Jessica’s feelings,” a source shared with E! News in 2019. “He feels terrible and wishes he could take back the public humiliation and embarrassment he caused. He loves Jessica and being married to her. He will learn from what happened and not let it happen again.”
Let’s hope it’s for real this time.
