Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake Are Having a Baby
By John A. Oswald February 1, 2015
At one point or other, Justin Timberlake has been every Jewish girl’s fantasy gentile boyfriend.
And that makes the gentleladies here at The Forward convinced — absolutely convinced — that he cooed these Paul Anka lyrics to his wife, Jessica Biel, when the EPT came back with a plus sign.
“You’re having my baby
What a lovely way of sayin’ how much you love me.
Having my baby
What a lovely way of sayin’ what you’re thinkin’ of me.”
A modern feminist interpretation describes the song as utterly sexist, but we could see Biel getting all doe-eyed as the hunk-a-dunk sang on.
Ok. None of this happened. All we know is what Timberlake Instagrammed: a pic of him kissing the gorgeous actress/model’s baby bump.

He posted the photo on Saturday, his 34th birthday, and wrote this: “Thank you EVERYONE for the Bday wishes! This year, I’m getting the GREATEST GIFT EVER. CAN’T WAIT.”
The hashtags? #BoyOrGirl #YouNeverKnow #WeDontEvenKnow #WeAreTakingBets.
That Biel, whose Jewish surname comes from her paternal great-grandfather, was preggers was not much of a secret. Just not officially confirmed.
Joey Fatone, Timberlake’s former fellow boy-bander from ‘NSync, spilled the beans in December.
“He told me a while ago, and I kept my mouth shut. But now I can talk about it!” Fatone told InTouch.
Nice goin’, Fatone.
