Jessica Biel Has the Perfect Reaction to Her and Justin Timberlake’s Son Calling Her “Old”

Jessica Biel shared how a conversation with one of her and Justin Timberlake’s sons, in which he made comments about her aging, really “got her thinking” about her kids growing up.

Jessica Biel isn’t crying a river over her kids’ out-of-pocket comments.

After all, the 7th Heaven star—who shares Silas, 10, and Phineas, 5, with husband Justin Timberlake—revealed her candid answer to one of their sons’ observations about her age.

“I woke up this morning and my son looked at me and said, ‘You look old,’” Jessica revealed in an Aug. 5 TikTok video. “That’s what I got this morning, and I was trying to figure out how to respond.”

“I said, ‘Oh well, that’s OK. We’re all getting older. You’re gonna get older, I’m gonna get older,’” she continued. “He said, ‘I hope you don’t look like a grandma.’”

Although the 43-year-old was stunned by his reaction, she knows that one day, that’s gonna be her. She thought to herself, “Oh my God. I am gonna look like a grandma.”

“I told him that I am gonna look like a grandma one day,” she explained, “then it really got me thinking—wow, life is moving fast and grandma days might be shortly on the horizon.”

Jessica may be looking into the future, but she’s not saying bye, bye, bye to embracing her kids’ childhood moments.

“Let your kid ride his Tonka truck all up and down the dirt road as long as he wants to because one day,” she reflected, “you’re gonna be a grandma.”

But she does plan to be the kind of grandma who “drives around with a Tonka truck” too.

She closed out her video, teasing, “Anyways, here’s to looking old!”

Jessica has shared glimpses into her and the *NSYNC alum’s parenting journey, including some of the rules they’ve enforced over the years. One of those includes keeping McDonald’s off the dinner table.

“I just feel like I don’t know what’s going on with [the] quality of that food,” she told Parade in an interview published last month. “It’s stuff like that that I’m like, ‘No, we’re not.’ Let’s go have a great burger and fries at a fancy place. I’d rather pay more for you to have something fancy than something like that.”

She emphasized, however, “I’m not crazy, rigid and strict, but that would be something that, if they asked me for, I would just be like, ‘Next!’”
