It’s A Baby!: Justin Timberlake Confirms Jessica Biel Pregnancy on Instagram

Justin Timberlake celebrated his birthday by showing the world a picture of pregnant wife’s belly.

Justin Timberlake’s celebrating his 34th birthday by confirming Jessica Biel’s pregnancy with a picture on Instagram where he’s kissing the baby bump.

The crooner captioned the photo: “Thank you EVERYONE for the Bday wishes! This year, I’m getting the GREATEST GIFT EVER. CAN’T WAIT. #BoyOrGirl #YouNeverKnow #WeDontEvenKnow #WeAreTakingBets.”

Rumors and speculation have been circulating for months that Biel was pregnant, but neither husband nor wife would say definitively.

Last month, former bandmate Joey Fatone told InTouch that “he told me a while ago, and I kept my mouth shut.” Excited, the ‘N Sync baritone exclaimed, “But now I can talk about it!”

As a father of two daughters, Fatone expects that the Timberlakes will have “fun” as parents. “Jessica is awesome, and Justin is a kid at heart.” He also told People that “Justin will be a great dad.” He remembers watching JT as the singer took younger brother Steven “under his wing.”

“He’s always been great with kids in general.” Fans will probably recall during ‘N Sync’s early days, the Tennessee native would often host and bring publicity with children charity events with the rest of the group’s members. “I think he’ll be very hands-on.”

And it looks like Fatone’s prediction of “he’ll be taking some off for sure” seems to be coming true. Earlier this month, Timberlake wrapped up the 20/20 Experience World Tour, which began in November 2013 and ranked as the second highest tour in 2014.

Media’s abuzz with the first glimpse of the parents and unexpected Instagram announcement. And the picture showed the couple without a “Suit & Tie” in sight during the photo shoot. Instead the couple looked bundled up, surrounded by snow, as they announced their latest project.

Kissing her stomach while looking up at the photographer, the father-to-be looks happy. Pictures for the past couple of months of Biel around Los Angeles have shown a happy, glowing mother-to-be, with a lot of energy.

Seen walking their dogs and generally enjoying life, E! Online guesses the baby will be born in early spring after InStyle editor Ariel Foxman tweeted, “Congrats @jessicabiel on your impending motherhood … Looking forward to the red carpet maternity style pix to come #tbt,” in October.

Instantly deleting the comment, rumors persisted, including those from Radar Online who first began the speculation of baby Timberlake being born sometime in April. Timing would place the birth around 2.5 years since the two married in southern Italy in October 2012.

However, in October 2014, E! Online also wondered if the couple would be moving out of L.A.

Biel contemplated in InStyle’s August 2012 issue, “I would like those future little people to have the experience that I had, in some capacity,” while growing up in the west and enjoying life outside of the public eye.  “I love Colorado; I’ve always thought that could be a possibility for me.”

No matter where the baby will be raised, it’s a sure bet that he or she will be lavished with a lot of attention and a very eclectic lullaby selection by the musician.
