Actor, singer, and father-of-two Justin Timberlake posted a rare photo of his sons on Instagram to celebrate Father’s Day over the weekend. In the sweet pic, seven-year-old Silas is sitting next to his brother Phineas, almost two, at the piano.
“My two favorite melodies,” Timberlake captioned the post. “Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there!!!”
His wife, Candy star Jessica Biel, also shared an adorable photo of the family caught in a group hug. “To the world, you are a dad. But to your family, you are the world,” she wrote. “I don’t know who said that, but whomever it was, they bodied that sh*t. We love you baby. Thank you for being our everything!”
Since having their boys, both Biel and Timberlake have tried to protect their kid’s privacy, rarely sharing any photos of them on social media.
“I try to be conscious of making sure we can live a life where we’re not weirdly private but we’re conscious of making sure they can be kids for as long as possible,” Timberlake told Dax Shepard while appearing as a guest on his Armchair Expert podcast in January 2021. “And not have the weight of somebody else treating them differently because of something that their parents do.”
Timberlake shared a similar image last year to mark the day with Silas at a concert. “Being a dad is better than I ever could have imagined,” he captioned the post. “Thankful to my dads and my grandfathers for leading the way, making the sacrifices for me to live out my dreams, and for teaching me that REAL LIFE happens in all the little moments.”
When Silas was younger, Timberlake melted hearts with a message to his son, then three, writing in part: “Being a father is such a trip… an amazing discovery every day. My son: it is my honor to be your Daddy. You make me feel a love that I didn’t know existed. I will ALWAYS be there… to pick you up when you fall, to lift you up when you are ready to soar, and to remind you that your humility will be your guide through this thing called life.”
We love how fiercely they protect their kids, but we also very much love a little peek inside the life they share as a family of four.
