Remember when Justin Timberlake tried so hard to convince us all his hand-holding scandal was no big deal? Yeah. If it was nothing, why is it still haunting his relationship with Jessica Biel?
That’s the sense we’re getting from everything an inside source has to say in the new issue of Us Weekly at any rate.

We just saw the couple share a sweet Sunday strolling arm-in-arm in New York City, but that perfect, happy image isn’t always typical of these two anymore; per the insider:
“Sometimes they’ll have a great day together, and other days they argue.”
Um, so they’re like every couple ever?? LOLz!
We kid, but it’s really not promising if they’re fighting half the time considering what went down.
For those who missed it, JT was caught on camera holding hands at a bar after hours with actress Alisha Wainwright, his super cute 30-year-old co-star on the unfortunately titled upcoming movie Palmer.
We obviously have no idea if things ever went further than that between the actors, but frankly the intimacy of the interlocked fingers was enough to be considered crossing the line for a married man.
(An overwhelming number of our readers agreed!)
Justin first denied what we all saw with our own eyes but finally admitted to the hand-holding in a public apology letter, writing:
“A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgment — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my costar. I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son. I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that.”
After the initial denials we obviously had to take this one with a grain of salt. But at least he was finally done trying to gaslight us all.
So what exactly has he been doing over the past month to become “the best husband” he can be? According to this new source, he and Jessica are now in couple’s therapy!
“They believe it’s constructive for their relationship… he is trying his hardest to prove himself.”
The pair have been rumored to secretly be in marriage counseling before, but it’s always been denied. But like we mentioned, JT seems really intent on projecting a pristine image to the world. Unfortunately, per the insider, he may also be applying that smooth spin with his wife:
“Justin knows exactly what Jessica wants to hear to relieve any stress.”
That isn’t how couple’s therapy works. You have to tell the truth, not just what the other person wants to hear. This sounds like a nice way of saying he’s still just pumping out the lies. Counseling should be something which helps couples move forward, but based on what we’re hearing we actually like their chances as a pairing even less now.
What do YOU think, Perezcious relationship experts??
