“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,” Timberlake wrote in a caption alongside a carousel of pictures with him and his sons.

“I see my two dads, my grandfathers, my uncles more and more clearly every year that I get to experience this life with them,” he continued. “And I see myself more and more clearly in every moment I have with my sons, watching who they continue to become.”
The “SexyBack” singer said he could not put a price on what being a father means to him. “You can’t put a price tag on that type of generational wealth!” he wrote.
He ended his post by saluting other fathers.
“Here’s to all the Dads out there! Cheers! Happy Father’s Day!” he said.
In May, Biel appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and was asked by host Jimmy Fallon if her sons know how cool their parents are. “No,” the Better Sister star said at the time. “Not at all.”
“I mean, you’re Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake,” Fallon responded. “Yes, you’re very cool.”

“No, Jimmy. They do not,” Biel explained. “Well, I think they think Justin’s kind of cool, because [of] the music element, and like he’s Daddy. I am so lame to them.”
Earlier that month, Biel gave insight into parenting with Timberlake in an interview with InStyle. The actress said she and Timberlake try to alternate their schedules so one parent is always available. However, she admitted that things don’t always go to plan given the nature of their jobs.
“Sometimes we do a good job; we try to have one of us working full time, only one,” she said. “It doesn’t always happen, because the opportunities arise and the timing is what it is. You just have to take advantage of it. We’re doing the same thing every other parent is doing: ‘Okay, tennis. You got the tennis? I’ll get the thing.’ ”
Biel continued to tell the outlet she was “really lucky” to have “amazing groups of women” in her life that she can rely on and have come to be her “rocks as I’ve grown up.”
“I would also consider my husband one of my chosen sisters,” Biel joked. “The next part is earnest: ‘He’s also my best friend. All of them together have gotten me through my life. I don’t know how I would have survived life without them.’ ”

In June 2024, the “Cry Me A River” singer honored Father’s Day by sharing photos of Silas and Phineas in a sweet post, in which he called the boys his “2 greatest gifts.”
“I learn more about myself everyday just because you both chose me to be your Daddy,” he wrote in the caption. “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.”
The proud dad continued: “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.”
