Justin Timberlake’s marriage to Jessica Biel is facing a crisis after the singer cancelled a concert amid rumors that he was with another woman on the night of his DUI arrest. RadarOnline.com has reported that the ‘Sexy Back’ star, 43, informed fans that he was postponing Tuesday night’s concert in Newark, NJ, citing an injury as the reason for the cancellation.
The announcement of the concert postponement comes shortly after it was revealed that Timberlake was in the company of his ex-business partner and his wife’s stylist, Estee Stanley, at the time of his drink-driving incident. Sources have indicated that Timberlake’s 12-year marriage was already under strain following an incident in November 2019 when he was photographed holding hands with his movie co-star Alisha Wainwright.
According to RadarOnline.com, a source close to Timberlake stated, “Justin’s life has been steadily unraveling since his DUI arrest. His wife, who is known for her clean-living lifestyle, was already feeling the strain after the incident with Alisha Wainwright. This recent arrest and the fact that he was with a female friend at the time have further exacerbated the situation, leading to a crisis in their marriage.”
Timberlake, who is currently on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, took to Instagram to apologize to his fans for the concert cancellation, expressing his disappointment at not being able to perform due to an injury. He assured fans that he would reschedule the show as soon as possible and thanked them for their understanding and support.
Tensions within Timberlake’s marriage escalated after it was revealed that he was with Estee Stanley on the night of his DUI arrest. The incident occurred in the Hamptons in June, where Timberlake was arrested for drunk driving after allegedly consuming one martini at The American Hotel. Stanley, a renowned stylist who has worked with celebrities like Demi Moore, Brad Pitt, and Penelope Cruz, previously styled Biel and even hosted the couple’s engagement party in 2012.
Timberlake’s collaboration with Stanley extended beyond styling, as the duo launched a line of home goods called HomeMint in 2012. Timberlake praised their partnership, stating, “This was really a collaboration with Estee. I don’t think I would do it if we weren’t in it together. We’ve known each other for a long time and have worked together on my homes – we really have a like-minded vision.”
In September, Timberlake pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while alcohol impaired and was ordered to pay a fine, author a public service announcement, and complete community service hours. The incident, combined with his recent DUI arrest, has put a strain on Timberlake’s marriage to Biel, leading to a crisis in their relationship.
