Justin Timberlake on fatherhood: It's 'insanely amazing'
- comments
It was one hell of a party at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as the host had not one but two heavyweight stars grace his show on Wednesday. Not only did he have his pal, Justin Timberlake, but also host Ellen DeGeneres, who competed with Fallon in a Lip Sync Battle, in which Timberlake was the judge.
Timberlake also took the time to talk about being a new dad to five-month-old Silas. People reports that the 34-year-old singer and performer showed new photos of his son, and joked about fatherhood, saying, "I still have trouble wiping my own ass!"
Nonetheless, Timberlake said: "It is the most insanely amazing, most beautiful, unbelievable thing that can ever happen to you. He was 5 months [on Sept. 8]."
Daily Mail also reports that according to Timberlake, Silas' first word was "dada." Fallon, who also has children of his own, two daughters named Winnie Rose and Frances Cole, pumped his fists in the air together with his friend. Coincidentally, Fallon wrote a children's book released in June titled "Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dada." The two also collaborated to bring the sixth installment of History of Rap.
Silas is Timberlake's first child with actress Jessica Biel, whom he married in Italy in October 2012. The two began dating in 2007, and split briefly in March 2011. After their reconciliation, Timberlake proposed in December 2011. The L.A. Times reports that the pair said in a joint statement after the wedding: "It's great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends."
Biel recently spoke to E! Online about having a child, sharing one of her favorite moments is the moment Silas wakes up from a nap.
"He's sort of looking around and you sort of creep up and look over the crib and he looks up and he goes [sighs]. Just a gummy mouth, no teeth, just a big smile, happy that you're alive and you're just looking at him. That's probably the most magical," she said.
The actress added that she does get emotional over those little moments, "but you quickly move on from it because there is a dirty diaper in your palm."
No one knows yet for sure when there will be a baby number 2 on the way for these gorgeous parents who are clearly over the moon for their firstborn, but fans are definitely rooting for this team to add more, with a gene pool as beautiful (and for sure, talented) as that.
