Jessica Biel recently opened up about her family life in Montana with husband Justin Timberlake and their two children, Silas and Phineas. During an interview with Instyle Magazine, Biel, 43, shared insights from her home in Big Sky, where they relocated from Hollywood a few years prior.
In the interview, she discussed the challenge of balancing her career with motherhood, highlighting how family time feels increasingly important with both of them often away for work. “Spending time with the family unit is a huge priority right now,” Biel remarked. She described their typical Saturdays, which often involve skiing together and making memories on the slopes.
Biel, who gained fame from “Seventh Heaven,” mentioned that she and Timberlake try to equally share parenting responsibilities when they are home. “We do what all other parents do,” she noted, mentioning their scheduled activities like tennis lessons for the kids.
Support from family and friends plays a crucial role for Biel, especially when juggling her demanding work schedule. “In this wild business, it really takes a village to raise kids,” she explained, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring one parent is usually at home with the boys.
As for her upcoming projects, Biel is set to star in “Matchbox,” a film inspired by the success of “Barbie.” She candidly shared how the hectic filming schedules sometimes put a strain on family dynamics, but they manage with the help of their support network.
While reflecting on the ups and downs of parenting, Biel admitted, “That’s very difficult. I don’t always do that well.” She recounted advice from her producer, stressing the importance of being fully present, whether at work or home.
The couple, who married in 2012, bought their home in Montana to provide a sense of normalcy for their children away from paparazzi. Biel underscored the need to protect their kids’ privacy, saying, “It’s a tricky balance. We try our best not to expose them in ways that they aren’t comfortable.” She added that they engage on social media in a way that feels genuine but not intrusive.
Recently, Biel and their son Silas faced media attention when he attended a tennis event. She noted the importance of discussing these experiences with him to gauge his comfort level. “I had the opportunity and we talked about it,” she shared.
Ultimately, Biel expressed her desire to let her children choose how they navigate the public eye when they’re older, emphasizing the significance of their choices in an increasingly social media-driven world.
