While Justin Timberlake is off on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, his wife Jessica Biel will be able to get the much-needed break from drama she so desperately wants. The “Mirrors” hitmaker has been touring since April and is scheduled to continue the musical journey through next summer. The 43-year-old pop star hit a snag earlier this year when he was apprehended in New York for driving while intoxicated.

In light of the bubbling drama surrounding his troublemaking status, Timberlake eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while ability impaired. Although the issue of his June arrest was settled in September after he agreed to pay a fine and perform community service for the updated noncriminal traffic violation, his wife has had no choice but to deal with another rough path through their already rocky 12-year marriage .

In 2019, the “Sexy Back” crooner was spotted holding hands with his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright, sparking trouble in paradise with Biel. On and off, he's been caught spiralling back into controversy associated with ex-Britney Spears as well. Even though the In Time actor was served with a lesser charge for a careless blunder made earlier this year, it has reportedly exacerbated the strain on his relationship with the Candy star, who seems to be doing some heavy lifting in their marriage behind the scenes.
