Jessica Biel looks incredible in a thigh-high split gown as she attends the Academy Museum Gala WITHOUT Justin Timberlake after it was revealed the singer has ‘done everything he can’ to smooth things over with his wife’

Jessica Biel attended the 4th annual Academy Museum Gala without her husband Justin Timberlake on Saturday, following his DWI arrest.

The American actress, 42, looked stunning in a thigh-high slit dress as she arrived solo at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

10-time Grammy winner Justin, 43, pleaded guilty last month to driving under the influence in connection with the incident.

Justin is said to have done “everything he could” to smooth things over with his husband in the time since his arrest on June 18, an insider close to the family said. People.

But it looks like Jessica is still forcing Justin to redeem himself as she attended the star-studded event alone.

The SexyBack singer – who was “not happy about” the highly publicized arrest – has been “very busy with work and is only focusing on family time when they are free,” the source said, while sharing their two sons Silas , nine, raise. and Phineas, four.

“They have been married for a long time” and “like most couples, have to work on their marriage,” the insider said.

Both have been busy with their careers amid the tumultuous time frame, Justin continues with his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, while Jessica has done back-to-back projects like The Better Sister on Amazon.

The source said that “being working parents is never easy,” which complicates potential problems in the relationship, but overall “they are both relieved that it is a thing of the past.”

The insider said the Can’t Stop the Feeling! singer and the 7th Heaven alum “are both determined to stay married” despite the obstacles.

The source said, “Jess thinks he’s a great dad. They’re a great team.’

Justin referenced Jessica during his Oct. 4 show at the Bell Center in Montreal, noting their 12th wedding anniversary.

During the show he said: ‘For me it is also a very special evening: tonight my wife is here. And tonight is our 12th anniversary. So be kind to her, Montreal, for she shares me with all of you tonight.”

Justin put his hand on his chest and said to Jessica, “I love you, honey.”

Jessica reposted a clip of the romantic exchange on Instagram Stories with the caption, “I wouldn’t spend it anywhere else.”

As part of his plea deal, Justin urged drivers not to get behind the wheel of a car after even one alcoholic drink, shortly after pleading guilty.

The public safety announcement for the Sag Harbor Police Department on September 13 was part of the settlement that dismissed the non-criminal traffic violation charge.

Justin was also sentenced to a $500 fine with a $260 surcharge, 25 hours of community service at the nonprofit of his choice, and a 90-day license suspension.

“I try to hold myself to a very high standard, for myself, and that wasn’t that,” Justin told the news media and other onlookers after the hearing in the adjacent Sag Harbor Village Court.

“Even if you’ve only had one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car,” he said. ‘There are so many alternatives. Call a friend. Take an Uber. There are many travel apps. Just take a taxi anyway. This is a mistake I made, but I hope everyone watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake. I know I certainly have.”

The NSYNC star made similar comments during the court hearing, saying he grew up in a small town and appreciated the pressure his arrest has put on a community like Sag Harbor.

Justin was arrested there just after midnight on June 18 after police said he ran a stop sign in the village center, veered from his lane and got out of his BMW while smelling of alcohol.

Police said Justin told the officer he had one martini and followed some friends home.

He initially pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.

Justin told the court he has had a lot of time to reflect on his actions and was “grateful for the opportunity to move forward” and use his platform to hopefully help others make “better decisions.”

“I should have judged better,” he told the judge. “I understand the seriousness of this.”

Judge Carl Irace said he was not opposed to reducing the charges against Timberlake as he was a first-time offender, and thanked him for speaking honestly and “from the heart.”

But he questioned the appropriateness of the proposed punishment and dismissed as “unsatisfactory” the public announcement that Justin planned to make shortly after the legal proceedings.

Irace said imposing additional community service would give the singer more time to reflect on his actions: “In my experience, these circumstances can be helpful and even satisfying for the suspect.”
