Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Engaged

Wedding bells might be in the air for Justin Timberlake and his girlfriend Jessica Biel.

That’s the word circulating on the Internet: that JT has popped the question to longtime girlfriend and actress Jessica Biel and they’re now engaged.

According to inside sources confirmed by Us Weekly, the “Sexy Back” singer proposed to Biel in late December on a wintry mountain top, while they vacationed in Jackson, Wyoming. “Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place,” one insider explains.

The pair started dating in 2007, when Timberlake and Biel were spotted together in Utah at the Sundance Film Festival. The couple has been in an on and off relationship for four years, including a three-month split last year, but last summer, Timberlake spilled the beans on how much she meant to him in Vanity Fair, saying, “She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life. In my 30 years, she is the most special person, okay? … I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me – for instance, her.”

Biel made it clear that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Timberlake. “When they reunited, they had a conversation about taking the next step,” one insider says.

Another Timberlake insider adds that he’s “never been happier” with the actress. “He knew it was the right time to propose.”
