Justin Timberlake got sentimental in a Father’s Day post featuring rare photos of his sons with wife Jessica Biel.
“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,” the singer, 44, shared via Instagram on Sunday, June 15, alongside photos of himself snuggling up to his boys Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4.
Timberlake continued: “I see my two dads, my grandfathers, 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!”
In the photos, Timberlake held Phin — rocking a Rolling Stones T-shirt — in one arm as he wrapped the other around Silas, who smiled up at him in sunglasses.
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake Share Rare Family Photos on Father’s Day
Biel, 43, chimed in via Instagram Stories, posting the same pics and writing, “Happy Father’s Day to the best dad out there. We love you so much! Celebrating you today and everyday.”
Timberlake shared the pics to his Story as well, writing, “Here’s to all the dads out there. Happy Father’s Day!”
The “Better Place” singer also posted photos of the father figures in his life via his Story, including his dad, Randall Timberlake, and stepdad, Paul Harless.
Justin’s dad and mom, Lynn Harless, decided to call it quits when he was just in kindergarten. He spoke about how the situation impacted his own parenthood journey in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2017.
“You go through your life with your own traumas, big and small, and think, ‘It’s not that bad, I have a lot to be thankful for, my parents did the best they could,’” the former ‘NSync star told THR. “But then you have a child of your own, and suddenly it opens all the floodgates, and you’re like, ‘No, no, no! That childhood trauma really did f*** me up!’”
Biel celebrated Justin on Sunday, reposting his photos with Silas and Phineas.
“Happy Father’s Day to the best dad out there,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories. “We love you so much. … Celebrating you today and everyday!”
Last year, Justin shared another heartfelt Father’s Day post, writing of his sons, “My 2 greatest gifts. I learn more about myself everyday just because you both chose me to be your Dad. I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys… to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life and to pick you up when you fall. And, of course, to flood you with insufferable Dad-jokes all along the way. I love you both so much. Thank you for giving me my biggest purpose.”

Biel, 43, revealed Justin’s Father’s Day plans this year in an interview with E! News in May, saying she was hoping to give him a “solo break.”
“Justin loves to golf, so I hope he gets to golf that day,” she shared. “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 and he can just go have a great day.”
