- Justin Timberlake received backlash from fans during his recent tour, as he seemed to have low energy and reportedly “didn’t sing” most of his tracks.
- Shortly after, the 10-time Grammy winner revealed that he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease, which affected his performances.
- Sources have shared that Justin received support from his wife, Jessica Biel, since the “rough” tour ended.
Justin Timberlake is officially back home from his recent tour, where he promoted his album, Everything I Thought It Was, in cities from Paris to Istanbul. And, according to sources, he’s “happy and united” with his longtime love, Jessica Biel. Insiders reveal that the couple recently celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary and are still “very committed to their marriage” after J.T.’s tour and Lyme disease diagnosis in July.
“Since Justin wrapped his tour over the summer, they’ve focused on family time. The tour was rough for everyone,” a source told People, adding that Jessica has been “supportive as always” as the singer navigates his health journey.
ICYMI, Justin received backlash from fans during his recent tour because he partly sang his chart-topping songs. “We waited for Justin Timberlake in the rain for hours at Electric Castle, only for him to come on stage 45 minutes late,” one attendee wrote alongside a clip of the singer, who was giving hype-man instead of headliner on July 23. “The issue wasn’t the rain or even his outfit, it was that he didn’t actually sing. Disappointing, especially for such a long-awaited performance.”
A few weeks later, on July 31, J.T. announced he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease in a lengthy statement posted on his Instagram Stories.
“Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically. When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage in a massive amount of nerve pain or just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness,” he wrote, in part.
Since he returned from tour, the 10-time Grammy winner has been spending time with Jessica and their two children, Silas and Phineas, in Montana and Colorado. “They all enjoy the outdoors,” the insider shared, adding that they celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary with “a small celebration.”
They continued, “Even when life is down, they're very committed to their marriage. They are happy and united.”
Good to know J.T. and J.B. are still in good spirits—and that his health diagnosis didn’t necessarily ruin the tour.
