The Complicated Life of Pop Superstar Justin Timberlake

On April 8, 2015, he became a father for the first time when Jessica Biel gave birth to their son, Silas Randall Timberlake. The birth moved Timberlake into a new phase, turning his long public relationship with Biel into a family story.

Fatherhood added another layer to his image. He was still a performer, actor, and pop celebrity, but now he was also a husband and parent trying to protect a more private home life. As his family grew, his hometown was preparing to honor everything he had already built.
