Jessica Biel 'flirting with other men' to get back at Justin Timberlake after Alisha Wainwright controversy
To get back at husband Justin Timberlake for having a drunken, too-close-for-comfort night out with his costar, Alisha Wainwright in December 2019, Jessica Biel is reportedly engaging in some harmless flirting of her own.
A source told Radar Online that the 37-year-old actress, who never entertained the flirty advances of men around her before the unsavoury incident, is suddenly paying attention and replying back. And while there is nothing serious going on between her and any of the men, it is certainly enough to make her 38-year-old spouse jealous.
“Jessica’s found out that some healthy flirting with other men goes a long way. She’s showing off her amazing bod and smile and the guys are noticing more,” an insider said. “They’ve always thought she was hot but she never reciprocated, until now.”
As a result of his wife's presently divided attention, the 'Friends With Benefits' actor has had to work extra hard to get back in Jessica's good books.
“Jessica’s got Justin worried and that’s the best feeling in the world, not that she would ever cheat on him,” the insider added. “It’s just kind of nice getting all this attention from Justin. He’s sending her flirty texts and calling three times a day to say ‘I love you’ and ‘I miss you.’”
Justin is also showering praises on his wife on social media ever since he was caught getting physically close with the 30-year-old actress while taking a break from shooting their upcoming movie 'Palmer.' Around two weeks ago, he commented under her Instagram post with two hearts and one heart-eye emoji.
In photos and videos, taken on November 21, Justin and Alisha were spotted going for a midnight trip to a bar where they enjoyed some drinks on a balcony. The actress was spotted stroking the 'Mirrors' singer’s knee before he grabbed her hand. Justin was spotted without his wedding ring during the outing in question and appeared to be unsteady on his feet as he put his arm around Alisha's waist.
After the pictures went viral online, the actor put out a public apology on his Instagram page.
“This is not the example I want to set for my son,” Justin partly added in his social media post. “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."
