Jessica Biel Reveals The Secret To A Solid Relationship

by Samantha McDonald

How can you not love Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake? Between their red-carpet appearances and candid off-duty couple moments, we literally squeal witnessing their obvious adoration for each other. And as with all long-lasting celebrity marriages, we’re keen to learn just how they manage to keep it together—in the spotlight and behind the scenes. According to the actress, there is a secret to her solid 10-year relationship with the ‘N Sync alum.

In Marie Claire‘s August 2017 cover story, Jessica reveals: “We have similar values; we believe in loyalty, honesty. We like to have fun. We like a lot of the same things.” She further proves that birds of a feather flock together by addressing their coordinating views on keeping up in the workplace. Jessica says there are times she feels she still needs to prove herself as an actress (despite having hit TV shows like 7th Heaven and box office smashes like The Illusionist on her résumé), and luckily JT happens to possess a similar goal-getting attitude. “In the business, we’re all very career-oriented, and you have to be a little selfish,” she adds. “I understand that about my peers—about being focused and driven—and if you can find that and someone who shares the same values as you, it’s like: Score!”

Truly, these two are perfect for each other. Read the rest of Jessica’s interview here.
