Jessica Biel Shares Rare Comments About Parenting With Justin Timberlake
Jessica Biel shared rare comments about being a working mom and parenting her two kids with Justin Timberlake in an interview with 'InStyle' published May 19.
Biel, who shares sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, with the musician, called her husband one of her "chosen sisters."
She also opened up about how she and Timberlake protect their kids from the spotlight.Jessica Biel is getting candid about juggling her responsibilities as a working mom. In InStyle's Now cover interview, the 7th Heaven alum opened up about parenting her two kids with Justin Timberlake as she called the *NSYNC star one of her 'chosen sisters.'
Emphasizing the importance of community when raising her sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, Biel got real as she opened up about the 'hard' balancing act between work and motherhood. She told InStyle in the new interview published May 19, 'I don't do it very well all the time.'
'It really takes a village to raise any kid, let alone in a wild business like this where parents are traveling for long times for work,' she said, crediting her 'chosen sisters' including 'best friend' Timberlake for giving her a helping hand through the tough times. 'All of them together have gotten me through my life. I don't know how I would have survived life without them,' the star added.
Biel revealed that she and Timberlake try to alternate picking up the slack when the other partner has other things going on—'We're doing the same thing every other parent is doing: 'Okay, tennis. You got the tennis? I'll get the thing,'' she explained—but they're both currently in the middle of a busy career season.
'Sometimes we do a good job; we try to have one of us working full time, only one,' Biel explained. 'It doesn't always happen, because the opportunities arise and the timing is what it is. You just have to take advantage of it.'
The star opened up about filming Mattel's Matchbox at the same time as Timberlake's Forget Tomorrow World Tour as an example, explaining that the timing 'literally couldn't have been worse.' Biel revealed that she brought her kids with her to Europe and made it work, thanks to the help of her 'incredible [travel] teachers' as well as their nanny and family members.
The Better Sister actress also opened up about how she and Timberlake approach raising their kids out of the spotlight, calling it 'a tricky balance.'
'We do really try hard not to expose them in a way that they're not comfortable with,' she said, sharing an example from last summer when she brought Silas to the US Open tennis tournament. Considering Biel and Timberlake's kids rarely make public appearances, the actress said she sat down with her eldest son to discuss the situation.
'My son was 9 at the time, and he's a huge tennis fan—that's his sport, that's what he plays. We had this opportunity, and we talked about it. We talked about photographers. You know, 'Are you comfortable with that?' He can't make these decisions on his own, but at this point, we can at least discuss what's his opinion around it,' she said. While she admitted that she didn't know 'if it was the right decision,' they ended up having a good time. 'It's scary every time. But it's also their life. And so it's this really tricky, tricky thing to figure out, what's appropriate,' she shared.

Trump answers whether he would pardon Diddy
The Brief During a White House event celebrating Elon Musk, President Donald Trump was asked if he would consider pardoning Sean "Diddy" Combs amid the hip-hop mogul's ongoing sex trafficking case. He noted he hasn't followed the case closely and hasn't spoken to Diddy in years, adding that their relationship cooled after he entered politics. Trump and Diddy have crossed paths over the years at many prestigious and high-profile events, even sharing a box with wives, Melania Trump and Kim Porter, at the 1997 US Open. NEW YORK - During a White House event celebrating Elon Musk, President Donald Trump was asked if he would consider pardoning Sean "Diddy" Combs amid the hip hop mogul's ongoing sex trafficking case. Trump said no one has formally requested a pardon but acknowledged that "people are thinking about it." The trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs has already cemented itself in pop culture history with its dramatic revelations and high-profile testimonies. Pardoning Diddy would be a monumental move, given the scale of the allegations and the intense public attention surrounding the case. Trump and Diddy have crossed paths over the years at prestigious and high-profile events, including the 2005 Art for Life Gala honoring Diddy at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and the Feb.6, 2008 Gucci and Madonna benefit for Raising Malawi and UNICEF at the United Nations in New York City, where they were both photographed with Melania Trump. Trump and Diddy have crossed paths over the years at many prestigious, high-profile events like the 1997 US Open with wife, Melania, and partner, Kim Porter. Trump noted he hasn't followed the case closely and hasn't spoken to Diddy in years, adding that their relationship cooled after he entered politics. Trump emphasized that any decision would be based on the facts and not on popularity. The U.S. Constitution gives the president the power to pardon people for federal crimes, except in cases of impeachment. A pardon is legal forgiveness as it ends punishment and restores rights like voting or running for office. While this power is broad, it only applies to federal crimes, not state offenses. A president can pardon someone before they are convicted of a crime. This is known as a preemptive pardon and has precedent in U.S. history. Former President Joe Biden pre-emptively pardoned several family members, including his brothers James and Frank Biden, and sister Valerie Biden Owens. One of the most famous examples is President Gerald Ford's 1974 pardon of Richard Nixon, which came before Nixon was formally charged or convicted of any crimes related to the Watergate scandal. However, the pardon still only applies to federal crimes, not state-level charges. Big picture view Trump pardoned several people including Todd and Julie Chrisley, known for their show "Chrisley Knows Best," former Connecticut governor John G. Rowland, Kentrell Gaulden (known as rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again), Kevin Eric Baisden, John Moore, former U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm, James Callahan, former Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins, and Tanner Mansell. Federal prosecutors have charged Diddy with a series of crimes including: Count 1: Racketeering Conspiracy. Count One charges that, from at least in or about 2004 through in or about 2024, the defendant participated in a racketeering conspiracy during which he agreed with other employees and associates of his businesses to commit kidnapping, arson, bribery of a witness, obstruction of justice, drug distribution, forced labor, sex trafficking, and transportation for purposes of engaging in prostitution. Count 2: Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud, or Coercion. Count Two charges the defendant with sex trafficking an adult female victim through force, fraud, and coercion between ~2009 and ~2018. Count 3: Transportation to Engage in Prostitution. Count Three charges the defendant with transporting that female victim and male commercial sex workers to engage in prostitution between ~2009 and ~2018. Count 4: Sex trafficking. Count Four charges the defendant with sex trafficking a second adult female victim through force, fraud, and coercion between ~2021 and ~2024. Count 5: Transportation to Engage in Prostitution. Count Five charges the defendant with transporting that second female victim and male commercial sex workers to engage in prostitution between ~2021 and ~2024. He also faces more than 60 lawsuits from alleged victims. If convicted, the 55-year-old Diddy could face 15 years to life in prison. In documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Diddy's defense team admitted the disgraced rapper committed "domestic violence" against a partner. Diddy's strategy seems to be to "admit to what is a lesser, state crime to avoid federal prison." Diddy was arrested in Oct. 2024 at the Park Hyatt New York in Midtown Manhattan. He's been in jail ever since. The trial, which began Monday, May 12, with opening statements, is expected to last eight weeks.

Reigning major champ Mao Saigo may be proving she's the real deal at the U.S. Open
ERIN, Wisc. — The only thing stopping Mao Saigo from completely running away with this U.S. Open was hitting too good a shot. On a heater. Coming off a major win. This 23-year-old Japanese newcomer the golf world still hardly knows hit a spinny little pitch so perfect it bounced three feet in front of the pin — clearly about to halt right behind the hole for a birdie putt — and struck the center of the flagstick. Advertisement It bounced off and rolled. And kept rolling. Oh no. Down the slope. Off the edge. Into a bunker. The ball rolled 90 feet away from the pin into the sand, a comically bad break flipping the hole from a likely birdie to a bogey. 'I did a pretty good third shot,' Saigo said through a translator. 'It was very good. However, I missed birdie chance. But I thought that was not my mistake, I just thought to myself that it was just unlucky.' How dialed in is Mao Saigo? Her lone blemish – this bogey on 14 – came on an incredibly unlucky break.@Ally — U.S. Women's Open (@uswomensopen) May 30, 2025 No problem. Because the thing we're quickly learning about Saigo is she's not going to go away. She's not just somebody on a Friday run. She's not just a random Chevron Championship winner we'll forget by next year. She stuck her next par-three approach to three feet. She birdied four of five holes. She shot a second-round 66 — the best round of the week — to enter the weekend with a two-shot lead at the U.S. Women's Open with a chance to become the first back-to-back major winner in a decade. For all the stories of Friday at Erin Hills, from Nelly Korda's 67 launching her into contention to Sarah Schmelzel's opening-nine 31, the greatest lesson may be that we didn't realize who Saigo really was. The way she won the Chevron in April, with Ariya Jutanugarn disastrously whiffing a chip to set up a five-way playoff, and then for Ruoning Yin to miss her eagle and birdie putts before Saigo sunk hers for the surprise win, it ran the risk of being one of those women's major championship winners that blends into history. It did not propel her into stardom. She entered the week with the 20th-highest odds to win in the field. Now, it all just looks a little different. The entire picture is clearer. Advertisement Suddenly, you notice her at 20 on the LPGA of Japan Tour, winning five tournaments in two months like a Japanese tour Nelly Korda. You remember she showed up in the States and won LPGA Rookie of the Year with two major top 10s at 22. And then you see that major championship at 23, playing in the final Sunday group, and you realize she might be something else entirely. The shame of language gaps in sports is purely that we don't get to know the real players through a translator. Though translators do fine and admirable work under pressure, we don't get the true vibe of a player—their tones, intimations, nuances. Some players, who'd rather not speak often, brilliantly use it to give boring answers and not be requested for interviews. Generalities work. Nobody can blame you. This matters, because after Saigo won the Chevron, she was asked what was next. The player who entered the week ranked 37th in the world did not give a generality. 'I still have four more majors to go, and I want to shoot for No. 1 in the world,' she said via translator. 'I will do my best in the remaining four majors.' Or Friday, after that dominant 66, she was asked what winning a major did for her confidence: 'I think that I was able to be more confident about my judgments that I make. I would like to play my play rather than thinking about changing myself. I want to do and play my play.' Saigo wants to play her way. And Friday, she was indeed a thrilling watch. She hunted tough pins on 11 and 17 and placed approaches within five feet. She sank tough birdie putts on 1 and 2. On the par five 7th, her ball was stuck so deep in the rough that all she could do was hit an ugly, weak 7 iron to the left side of the fairway. But Saigo, hitting her third shot up a steep hill, stuck that 125-yard shot four feet from the pin for her seventh birdie of the round. Or on 8, she had another awkward lie in the fairway rough. She creatively played a fairway wound and bounced it off the sharp green front hill and rolled it to the center of the green. Her way. Advertisement And for as much as modern women's professional golf is often dictated by East Asian greats like South Korea's 34 wins this century or Australian/New Zealand greats of East Asian descent, the famously golf-loving country of Japan hadn't produced many winners. Until recently. Chako Higuchi won the LPGA Championship in 1977. Ai Miyazato reached world No. 1 in 2010. But the country went 42 years without a major until Hinako Shibuno's British Open win in 2019. Then Yuka Saso, who represented the Philippines until 2022 but now plays for Japan, won the 2021 and 2024 U.S. Women's Opens. Ayaka Furue won the 2024 Evian. Then, Saigo at Chevron. The No. 13, 14, 15 and 16 players in the Rolex Rankings are all Japanese and between 22 and 25 years of age: Saigo, Furue, Miyu Yamashita, Rio Takeda. The 22-year-old Iwai twins are 23rd (Akie) and 37th (Chisato). Oh, and Nasa Hataoka has six wins. Saso has her two majors. The LPGA of Japan Tour keeps cranking out young, experienced players who've learned how to win, and this week in Wisconsin, Saigo is joined in contention by Shibuno, Takeda and the Iwais all under par. And maybe Saigo is just riding a wave. Maybe she'll play herself out of contention Saturday and fade down the rankings by next year. The sport has seen it many times before, hot streaks of one or two years that don't quite last. Or maybe we're seeing a new killer on tour, a young, big-game hunter who will go toe to toe with Nelly Korda for the U.S. Open and snag consecutive majors at 23. Whatever happens, we know one thing. She's playing her way.

I've been using Jennifer Garner's 'skin hack' moisturizer for more than 2 years — and it's on sale for $20
When it comes to skincare, Jennifer Garner takes hers seriously. As a Neutrogena ambassador for more than 17 years, the actress swears by the brand's products and science — especially its Hydro Boost Gel Cream Moisturizer. Hyaluronic acid is a must in her skincare routine and Neutrogena's Hydro Boost has a lot of it. Garner has called the moisturizer her ultimate "skin hack" and has referred to it as "her baby." She's even proclaimed it her favourite Neutrogena product, ever. "There are all these micro-lines that once I put it on, they go away," Garner has said. "This is 48 hours of moisture that you're locking in with one thing. I can see why the reviewers love it," she told InStyle. I'm obsessed with the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturizer — here's why. For over a year now, I've used the moisturizer religiously. It's become an essential part of my nighttime skincare routine, and I can confirm — it provides stellar hydration. Highly recommended by dermatologists, the Hydro Boost Gel Cream is a lightweight moisturizer that's non-greasy or sticky and strengthens the skin's moisture barrier. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, the formula is known for maintaining hydration and ample moisture throughout the day. The skin becomes softer and more supple after regular use. In the past, I've struggled with dry and dull skin. I often hesitate to try new products as my sensitive skin is prone to reactions. However, the Hydro Boost Gel Cream is dermatologist-recommended, so I decided to give it a go. Off the bat, the texture is incredibly smooth. It feels intensely moisturizing when you slather it on, and while it takes a minute or two to absorb fully, you feel the hydration immediately. I've used the gel cream for over a year, and my skin has never felt so soft and revitalized — largely thanks to the hyaluronic acid. The product moisturizes overnight with glycerin and vitamin B5, leaving me with a bright morning glow. The Hydro Boost Gel Cream also performs great under makeup. Its hydrating formula enhances and brightens my overall look. It adds a tightness and bounce to my skin that I don't see without it. With more than 7,600 reviews on Amazon, many shoppers note how impressive the moisturizer's affordability and performance are. While a few disagreed, several wrote the moisturizer was helpful for skin conditions like eczema. "I want more of it," said one reviewer. Another wrote their skin "never felt or looked this good." Even in the winter, its staying power is "beautiful."Paulina Porizkova, 59, is 'completely and utterly fangirling' over this viral anti-aging treatment Shania Twain has used this multipurpose beauty balm since the '90s I've been using this anti-aging face cream for over a year. It's just like La Mer's $525 cream, but it's $476 cheaper One reviewer highly recommended the moisturizer for eczema. The user advised those with the condition to use the gel cream over heavier products for a lighter and more consistent nighttime routine. Despite thousands of five-star reviews, some noted it "burned and tingled" their skin. A few users said the product may not be compatible with sensitive skin. They warned of the moisturizer's pungent scent and urged caution when applying it around the eye area. Like Jennifer Garner, the Hydro Boost Gel Cream Moisturizer has become essential to my skincare routine. It's fast absorbing, lightweight and gentle on sensitive skin. After using it for over a year, I haven't experienced any reactions to it either. Its hydrating formula leaves me with a dewy finish, locking in all-day moisture. At just $20, it has transformed my skin to the clearest it can be. Though some reviewers said it bothered their sensitive skin, I have never had any issues with the Hydro Boost moisturizer. It has become an indispensable part of my beauty routine, thanks to its long-lasting hydration.
