Reps for the two Hollywood stars confirmed on Thursday that Biel and Timberlake are no longer a couple. “Addressing the media speculation regarding Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s relationship, we are confirming that they mutually have decided to part ways. The two remain friends and continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other,” said the former couple’s reps in a joint statement.
The split comes about two weeks after Biel and Timberlake were seen together during the Vanity Fair post-Oscars party. A source told People Magazine that “there are no hard feelings” and that Biel and Timberlake remain friends. However, another report claims that Biel is “devastated” by the breakup.
Biel, 29, and Timberlake, 30, started dating in May 2007, several months after the former boyband member broke up with Cameron Diaz. Over the years, Biel and Timberlake’s relationship has been plagued by rumors that they have split, but both of them have vehemently denied such speculations.
