Justin Timberlake praises his 'two dads' in heartwarming tribute as he leads stars celebrating Father's Day
Justin Timberlake gave a shout out to both of the father figures in his life - dad Charles Randall Timberlake and stepdad Paul Harless - in a heartwarming tribute he shared on Father's Day.
In an epic throwback, the 44-year-old pop star Instastoried a snap of himself decked out in Star Search-era Western wear while posing with the Baptist church choir director, who divorced his mother Janet Harless in 1985.
One year later, Janet wed Paul, so Justin made sure to post a snap of his stepdad with his 10-year-old son Silas in the tribute.
Timberlake shared a third snap of one of his dads playing golf with what appeared to be his four-year-old son Phineas.
The 10-time Grammy winner also posted a rare Instagram slideshow of himself embracing little Silas and Phineas.
'There's no bigger reward or responsibility that I have ever felt in my life above being a father. To teach and to learn at the same time… I feel beyond blessed,' Justin - who boasts 193.8M social media followers - gushed on Sunday.
'I see my two dads, my grandfathers, [and] my uncles more and more clearly every year that I get to experience this life with them. And I see myself more and more clearly in every moment I have with my sons, watching who they continue to become.
'You can't put a price tag on that type of generational wealth! Here's to all the Dads out there! Cheers! Happy Father's Day!'
Timberlake's wife of 12 years - Jessica Biel - reposted his slideshow with the caption: 'Happy Father's Day to the best dad out there. We love you so much!'
The 43-year-old Better Sister actress also Instastoried a snap of herself with the No Angels singer and their son Phineas captioned: 'Celebrating you today and every day!'
Last month, Jessica said she planned on 'taking the kids' so he 'can just go have a great' Father's Day and, considering Justin was in Denmark on Saturday, he's definitely in Europe.
'Justin loves to golf, so I hope he gets to golf that day,' Biel told E! News.
'And of course it's fun to spend time with your kids, but from everything I know about Mother's Day where you just really need a break and want a solo break, I will take the kids.'
Timberlake - who gets 44.5M monthly listeners on Spotify - is next scheduled to bring his $205.2M-grossing, 122-date The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to Poland's PGE Narodowy in Warsaw this Tuesday.

Laura Anderson takes savage swipe at ex Gary Lucy as she spends Father's Day alone with their daughter Bonnie - after claiming 'co-parenting and financial support didn't exist'
has taken yet another savage swipe at ex Gary Lucy as she spent Father's Day alone with their daughter Bonnie on Sunday. The former Love Island star, 36, shares the 21-month-old with the former Hollyoaks actor, 43, who she split from during her pregnancy. After their daughter was born the pair briefly got back together before then parting for good. Laura, who has claimed 'co-parenting and financial support didn't exist', took to her Instagram Stories saying she felt 's***' for the tot on Father's Day. She captioned a clip of herself sarcastically giving a thumbs up she wrote: 'Cheers to the single mums that feel sh*t for their kids on Father's Day'. Laura also shared a post about sending love on Father's Day only to add in what appeared to be another swipe: 'And Great dads who show up and financially support their children. You're children love you'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. MailOnline have contacted Gary Lucy's reps for comment. In January Laura looked back at the last year she said the past 12 months 'weren't easy' as she never imagined that she would become a single parent. She said that financially she wasn't supported with Bonnie and that she has been 'struggling everyday'. Laura did however include some positive highlights in her post including meeting her new footballer boyfriend Clark Robertson. Scottish TV star Laura took to her Instagram in July responding to a comment as she claimed Gar hadn't seen their daughter since early January. Responding to a troll who questioned whether Bonnie ever sees her father, Laura replied: 'Do you mean has her daddy seen her…. No he hasn't since 2nd January if you would like to direct those questions to him as I have no control over the actions of others x.' A representative for Gary declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline at the time. Then in September the actor, who also shares two sons and two daughters with ex-wife Natasha, broke his silence on the matter when a cruel troll commented on a sweet clip of Bonnie playing with her elder brother. 'When Theodore got to be the big Brother for the day …. If this doesn't melt your heart I don't know what will ,' he captioned. The post was flooded with touching comments, yet a negative one caught Gary's eye. 'Funny you keep posting videos but you never see her,' a person wrote - but the actor was quick to reply: 'Nope only you 'shaz' everyone else seemed to just enjoy a lovely video …. 'I'll block ya in a bit … then ya can set up a new email / insta profile so ya can keep a bitter twisted eye on my page.' He went on adding in another comment below: 'Course she does .. she's invested hours n hours on ppls 'instagram lives' that's gotta going for something right ….. oh wait.' One fan raced in his support, commenting: 'Sounds like the Gary police are out in force today, leave the man alone, if you don't like what he posts then don't look and unfollow, I'm sure he won't give a, its his profile, he can post what he likes. Rant over.' Earlier this month Laura hit back at trolls after suffering backlash for holidaying in the Maldives without her daughter. She jetted off with her boyfriend Clark and shared a series of sun-soaked snaps from her romantic getaway. While many gushed over the stunning snaps, one follower accused the reality star of abandoning her toddler. They wrote: 'Poor Bonnie ditched again… I just wouldn't choose to leave my child over and over again thousands of miles away. A wee night away though absolutely!' Laura wasted no time to hit back and replied: 'Over and over please explain,' with many of her fans rushing to defend her. They branded the critic a 'mum-shamer' as they praised Laura for taking some well deserved time for herself. Firing back once more, Laura commented: 'No one shames the dads.' However, the original commenter doubled down, saying: 'I will if it's a dad doing it. 'Shame on Bonnie's dad, shame on my dad, shame on any dad that treats their kids the way some do. Shame on any sex. 'And I didn't say shame on you. Just said you'd ditched the wee babe again. 'I ain't ringing the bells like a town crier, just saying bairns been left to someone else to look after while you jet off again!' Laura later clarified to fans that she had only been away for just four days and had many video calls with her daughter.

Olivia Rodrigo, Addison Rae, Jenna Ortega and Conan Grey speak out against anti-ICE protests and more
Just a day after sweeping anti-ICE protests sprouted up all over the country, some of music's biggest stars are speaking out. The protests were both an answer to President Donald Trump 's use of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enact mass deportations in Los Angeles, and Trump's own military-style parade in Washington D.C. on Saturday, his birthday. The protests were attended by several celebrities including Jimmy Kimme l, Mark Ruffalo and many more. Others used their Instagram stories to protest, including Olivia Rodrigo, Addison Rae Jenna Ortega and Conan Grey. Rodrigo, a 22-year-old L.A. native, did not mince words in her Instagram story, opening with, 'I've lived in L.A. my whole life and I'm deeply upset about these violent deportations of my neighbors under the current administration.' 'LA simply wouldn't exist without immigrants. Treating hardworking community members with such little respect, empathy and due process is awful,' she added. 'I stand with the beautiful, diverse community of Los Angeles, and with immigrants all across America,' she added. 'I stand for our right to freedom of speech and freedom to protest,' Rodrigo concluded in her Instagram story post on Saturday. Rae added in her Instagram story post, 'I'm so disappointed and disturbed by what is happening across our nation. This country could not exist without immigrants.' 'Every human being deserves the right to exist in an environment that makes them feel safe, lovingly protected, and embraced,' she concluded. Ortega said, 'The world is crying all over. People in Los Angeles are being torn away from their everyday lives & love, the ones they built so tirelessly just like you. She added, 'Innocent civilians in Iran are caught in the middle of warfare… Palestinian cries are still being buried in every day media.' 'My thoughts are heavy, my heart follows. It is normal to feel confused & hopeless during this time... But I strongly advise you to never stop paying attention,' she said. 'How can we care about anything else as human freedoms spanning across seas are being violated with such violence?' she asked. Ortega said, 'The world is crying all over. People in Los Angeles are being torn away from their everyday lives & love, the ones they built so tirelessly just like you. 'Listen to one another & love; but be angry too. Educate yourself as best you can. To say this doesn't concern you, or that it isn't your problem, is a privilege under abuse,' she concluded. 'Listen to one another & love; but be angry too. Educate yourself as best you can. To say this doesn't concern you, or that it isn't your problem, is a privilege under abuse,' she concluded. Grey stated, 'Immigrants are the backbone of America. They are the foundation upon which this entire country was founded and deserve protection, respect and a right to free speech and protest.' 'What trump is doing with his mass deportations is not only anti-American, but anti-Constitutional,' he added. Grey continued in another slide, 'It is most important now to know your rights, and the rights of our immigrant friends and neighbors. He also shared a link to the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) concluding his post with, 'I stand with an America that is beautiful because of its diversity. You should too.'

The Grammy winner and his wife, Hailey, 28, welcomed their son Jack in August 2024. The couple have been careful to keep their little one out of the public eye, however, on Friday, the Baby singer shared a few photos his his blonde-haired boy on social media. After Bieber's Father's Day post, fans reacted with a mix of support and concern. 'On God!!! Keep Leading My Brother!!,' exclaimed one follower. 'I love you Justin, You are great and God is with you,' stated another. 'Go to rehab Justin, you're not okay,' advised a fan. 'You need to pull yourself together for your child and your beautiful wife,' admonished another. Hailey, who quipped in a recent post she would be partaking in 'Lemon drop martinis and therapy all summer long,' had not posted any personal greetings herself online as of the time of publication. However, it appeared she did not forget the father of her child on his big day. A short time after making his angry post, the hitmaker looked delighted as he shared the very luxurious gifts had had received, seemingly from his wife.

The timepiece was accompanied by two suede Prada bags, one turquoise and bright pink, the other yellow and baby pink. 'Happy daddy day to me u lil ho,' he wrote next to one of the posts.
