A Rock Called Jessica: From Alisha Wainwright to Britney Spears drama, Jessica Biel has stood by Justin Timberlake
CABO SAN LUCAS, MEXICO: Justin Timberlake has reportedly taken his wife Jessica Biel and their two sons, Phineas, 2, and Silas, 8, on vacation, amid the intense blowback in the wake of Britney Spears' caustic memoir 'The Woman In Me.'
The former NSYNC member was seen landing in Cabo on a private plane with family in tow. Later the couple was pictured lounging on their most recent holiday, enjoying the sun and tanning.
The family's tropical getaway occurs just a few days after Timberlake opted to disable comments on his Instagram page, ostensibly in response to the vehement responses from Britney's admirers, per Daily Mail.
Britney, 41, has shared a number of details on her romance with Timberlake, 42, in her memoir, and which ended almost 20 years ago.

Timberlake has come under fire for how he is said to have treated Britney before and after their relationship.
However, this is not the first time that the 41-year-old 'Illusionist' actress has stood by her singer husband during a challenging situation.
Biel has previously stood by him when the alleged affair between Timberlake and 'Palmer' actress Alisha Wainright almost cost him his marriage.
Alisha Wainright cheating scandal
Despite being one of the more stable couples in Hollywood, Timberlake and Biel's marriage has not always been easy. With the arrival of their first son, Silas, in April 2015 and their second child, Phineas, in July 2020, the couple has been married for more than ten years.
Their second child was born 8 months after Timberlake was embroiled in a reported cheating scandal with his 'Palmer' co-star Wainwright in November 2019, and which he categorically denied.
In November 2019, pictures of singer-turned-actor holding hands with co-star Wainwright went viral online, bringing with them rumors of infidelity.
Timberlake was seen laughing with his colleague on a New Orleans balcony bar in images released by The Sun.
Many of Timberlake and Biel's fans were startled to see the images, and Us Weekly Magazine reported that Biel persuaded Timberlake to issue a public apology.
The source said at the time, "Jessica encouraged Justin to put out his statement on Instagram because she felt embarrassed by his actions and wanted him to take accountability."
Although Biel has never responded to the pictures of Timberlake holding hands with another woman, several people told the media that the rumors of his infidelity were untrue.

Timberlake has been charged with cheating previously. Rewind to the times of 'Friends With Benefits,' when he and co-star Mila Kunis were reportedly a touch too close.
US Weekly was informed by a close friend that "Mila knew he had a girlfriend and made it clear it wasn't going to happen."
Britney Spears revealed she aborted Justin Timberlake's baby
The cheating allegations came before Britney allegedly accused her ex-boyfriend, according to TMZ, of having an extramarital affair with an unidentified celebrity during their three-year relationship.
The 'Cry Me a River' singer has had a tumultuous October following Britney's admission that she had an abortion because he "didn't want to be a father" and that he had cheated on her during their three-year romance.
Timberlake has disabled Instagram comments, but he is yet to publicly address any of the allegations Britney has made in her book, which was released on October 24.
Britney claimed she wanted to keep the child, but Timberlake apparently said he wasn't ready to be a father. Britney claimed that this pressure was the reason behind her decision to end the pregnancy.
In an excerpt from PEOPLE Magazine, Britney said that she and Timberlake were shocked to learn she was unexpectedly pregnant—given the timing, she was probably in her late teens.
The Princess of Pop, who was roughly 19 years old at the time, remembered "sobbing" throughout the "excruciating" process that occurred inside her house.
According to a source, Timberlake and his wife Biel's October 19 wedding anniversary was overshadowed by the "baggage" from Britney's memoir, which has been "stressful."
However, Biel did not comment on any of the aforementioned allegations against her singer-actor husband, while Timberlake has been concentrating on his family, a source told PEOPLE Magazine, despite these revelations.
The source said earlier, "He’s happy at home with Jess and their kids and he’s focusing on new music. He’s in such a great place."

Biel explained to Entertainment Tonight why her relationship with Timberlake is still going strong after ten years during the launch of her Hulu series 'Candy'.
"Well, I'll have to give Justin the credit in this moment, for this one thing that he always says to me: ‘We might be married, but we have to keep dating,’ and it's so true," Biel said at the time.
She added, "You just have to keep making time for each other and you have to keep making each other a priority. And do the things that you love together."
"It's not always easy, as we all know, but those touch point moments make all the hard times palatable," she continued.
