Singer Justin Timberlake and his wife, actress Jessica Biel, are expecting their first child. Justin's former 'N Sync bandmate Joey Fatone has confirmed the news, saying he was aware about it for quite a long time but chose to hide it till now. Justin and Jessica have also been hush hush about the baby news, but various websites speculated about it as they watched the growing belly of the actress.

"He told me a while ago, and I kept my mouth shut. But now I can talk about it! Jessica is awesome, and Justin is a kid at heart. [They'll have] fun," said Joey to InTouch weekly magazine. The speculation about Jessica's pregnancy started way back in October when various websites published pictures of her "growing baby bump." The 32-year-old actress, however, chose to keep mum on her pregnancy, but her friend Ariel Foxman accidentally revealed the news on Instagram. Foxman congratulated Jessica on her "impending motherhood" on the social networking site but deleted the post later.

It is not sure how far along Jessica is in her pregnancy as the couple has not officially released any statement on this news. In her previous interview with People magazine, Jessica expressed her desire to have kids. "Every woman has some kind of intuition of how they'd interact with a child. I feel comfortable around kids," said the actress to People. The actress was spotted wearing a flowy grey overcoat in Soho, Manhattan on Tuesday. Although this doesn't confirm or deny anything, it has been noted that celebrities usually switch to wearing loose dresses during the pregnancy period. The pictures of Jessica can be seen here.

Justin and Jessica tied the knot in October 2012 after dating for almost five years. In 2013, Justin told OK magazine that he is not against the idea of parenthood but thinks he has plenty of time to step into the role. He said he would leave the decision to have kids "on fate" as he feels it is normal to think about family life in his thirties.
