Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel kept their latest public appearance low-key, but the sighting still stood out.
The longtime couple were photographed holding hands during a daytime walk in New York City on Monday, June 15, marking their first public appearance together since 2024, according to People.
Timberlake wore a black shirt with wide-leg pants, gray sneakers and sunglasses, while Biel stepped out in a black T-shirt, button-up shirt, leggings and sunglasses.
The photos gave fans a rare look at the couple after a quieter stretch in public. Timberlake and Biel have been married since 2012 and share two sons, but they have mostly kept their family life away from regular paparazzi coverage.

People reported that Timberlake, 45, and Biel, 44, were photographed hand-in-hand during the New York stroll. The outlet described the appearance as the couple’s first public outing together since 2024.
Page Six also reported that the pair stepped out in coordinated casual looks and sunglasses, and said they stopped to take photos with fans during the walk.
Biel Has Publicly Supported Timberlake Through a Busy Stretch
The outing followed a period in which Timberlake’s name stayed in the headlines for reasons beyond music. People noted that the New York photos came three months after footage from his June 2024 DWI arrest surfaced in March, with a source telling the outlet that Biel found the incident stressful and wanted to move past it.
The same People report said Biel has continued to support Timberlake’s career. She attended his Forget Tomorrow World Tour last summer and has shared personal glimpses from their life together on social media.
In January, Biel spoke warmly about Timberlake during E!’s Critics Choice Awards coverage. “I am a number one fan,” she told E!, adding that he is “so amazing live.” She also said she does not care if she looks like “a crazy person” while dancing through his shows because she loves his music and admires him as an artist and performer.
The Couple Usually Keeps Their Private Life Private
Biel has also explained why she and Timberlake do not share everything publicly. InStyle reported in February that she posted a rare birthday tribute to Timberlake, calling him “a true original.”
The outlet also noted that Biel has long valued keeping part of their private life out of view. “I still feel like your private life is your private life, and that’s okay,” Biel told InStyle in a previous interview cited by the outlet.
