The singer broke his silence with an Instagram post
Justin Timberlake has issued a public apology to his wife Jessica Biel after being photographed holding hands with his co-star, Alisha Wainwright. The 38-year-old singer broke his silence on Wednesday, sharing a post on Instagram in which he acknowledged a "strong lapse in judgement". Justin, who has been married to Jessica for seven years, began: "I stay away from gossip as much as I can, but for my family, I feel it is important to address recent rumours that are hurting the people I love. A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgement – but let me be clear – nothing happened between me and my co-star. I drank way too much that night and I regret my behaviour. I should have known better."
