The SexyBack singer was caught hand-holding with Alisha Wainwright, his co-star in the upcoming film Palmer. Right before Thanksgiving, the two were seen out together at a bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, where the movie is being shot. The pictures were initially posted by The Sun.
In addition to holding hands, there's a picture of Wainwright's hand gently resting on Timberlake's knee, and one picture with her hand on his inner thigh.
Of course, the 10-time Grammy winner has been married to actress Jessica Biel since 2012. Last night, Timberlake issued a formal apology to his wife on Instagram and attempted to set any rumors about an illicit tryst to bed.
"A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgementbut let me be clearnothing happened between me and my costar," Timberlake wrote. "I drank way too much that night and regret my behavior. I should have known better."
The 2018 Super Bowl singer continued, "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."
Who knows exactly if anything is actually happening between the co-stars. It seems like a leap to assume that they're sexually or romantically involved just because they held hands, even if that's what the
will have you believe. What I will say is that I was completely unaware that Timberlake was even filming a movie prior to this, so perhaps any press is good press?
