Justin Timberlake’s #1 fan? His wife, Jessica Biel, of course.
The “Mirrors” singer is getting ready to drop Everything I thought it was — his first new solo music since 2018 — and Biel is behind it 100 percent, a source exclusively to PEOPLE in this week’s issue.
Justin “just had that desire to create again. It was time. He was great at it and Jess was supportive,” a source tells PEOPLE of Timberlake, who turns 43 on Wednesday, and Biel, 41. “She proud.”

“It was very special,” adds the source.

Everything I Thought Was Justin Timberlake.

Talking about Everything I thought it was on Apple Music 1 last week, Timberlake said his new music will give fans a “real” perspective on his life — with songs that are “introspective and “incredibly honest.”
“I was able, in some songs, to look back and have a real, not a refracted perspective of what was because they always say… you always hear that thing about, well, there’s never any truth, there’s just everybody’s perspective of what happened ,” Timberlake explained.
“But to really look at it and be able to metabolize and verbalize my perspective on it, I don’t think I’ve ever done that before,” he added.
