Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are now engaged. Justin Timberlake proposed to longtime on- and off-again girlfriend Jessica Biel while in Jackson, Wyoming over the holidays, according to Us Weekly. A source told the magazine that Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place. And now friends have revealed that Justin Timberlake, 30, has ‘never been happier’ following his decision to settle down with his girlfriend of four and a half years.
Justin and Jessica, 29, split for three months last year and sources close to the couple have said that marriage was on the cards after they got back together. A source told the magazine that this was the basis for getting back together adding that when they reunited they had a conversation about taking the next step. The couple are said to have celebrated their engagement with their family and friends meeting up at Timberlake’s home in Big Sky, Montana. Justin and Jessica were also seen dining at a Thai restaurant in the resort called Lotus Pad and an onlooker said they were having a ‘good time’ with the happy couple ‘throwing back sake’ in celebration. The Hollywood couple was first spotted together during a snowboarding break in January 2007 at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. However, they did break up for three months at the beginning of the year. The pair were said to have met earlier in the month at the Golden Globe Awards that year shortly after Timberlake split from Cameron Diaz.
At the time of their March 2011 split, a rep explained that addressing the media speculation regarding Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s relationship, they are confirming that they mutually have decided to part ways. According to the representative, the two remain friends and continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other. In June, Timberlake addressed questions about his then-ex Biel by acknowledging her as the single-handedly most significant person in his life. Timberlake said that in his 30 years, she is the most special person. According to him, he does not want to say much more because he has to protect things that are dear to him, for instance, her.
While the two got together again shortly after the breakup, they have always been plagued by speculation about their relationship, whether it be that they are breaking up or getting married. A spokesperson for the couple was unavailable for comment earlier today. While the couple are enjoying their engagement Timberlake is said to be mulling over playing Elton John in a biopic entitled about the singer. John recently told the LA times that Justin is his first choice to play himself in the film, called Rocketman. The Friends with Benefits star is no stranger to channeling his inner Elton and has played the singer in the video for This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore.
The news of his engagement comes weeks after Timberlake’s former flame Britney Spears announced her engagement to longtime beau Jason Trawick.
