Well, at least it appears Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are continuing to work through this controversy together!
And every sign we get, both publicly and privately, seems to come back positive for the couple, after being left reeling for a time following JT’s recent New Orleans hand-holding controversy with Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright.

Still, just days after the Mickey Mouse Club alum publicly apologized for his “strong lapse in judgment” over getting handsy with Wainwright at that Bourbon Street bar late last month, the performer’s hands were at least openly committed to his wife this time around! And what can we say? That’s an improvement!
Us Weekly has the pics (see ’em HERE) showing JT proudly wearing his wedding ring while walking out and about after being spotted doing CrossFit at a New Orleans gym late this past week. The 38-year-old was otherwise casually dressed, wearing a t-shirt and shorts ideal for the workout, while also carrying a couple bottled drinks to help him hydrate and recover after his tough workout. The ring is the thing, though; glad to see him get back on track with that, at least, right?!
Walking back that big, bad bar brouhaha…
The former Social Network star has clearly been very, very remorseful for his actions regarding Wainwright — that is, after days of silence when his publicist apparently hoped the whole thing would die down.
But public opinion ran HOT on this issue well into December, and so when JT did address his, um, mistake, he was at the very least pretty open about taking responsibility for himself.
“A few weeks ago, I displayed a strong lapse in judgement — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my costar,” the star wrote in a paragraph-long apology on the Notes app on his iPhone, which he posted to his IG account.
And he continued at the time (below):
“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.”
Yeah, dude, no kidding!
At least he’s on the straight and narrow once again, committed to his best behavior… or, ya know, something like that!
