Jessica Biel<\/strong><\/a> helped husband Justin Timberlake<\/strong><\/a> celebrate his birthday with a sweet treat on stage as he performed in New York City.<\/p>\n Justin rang in his 43rd birthday on Wednesday, January 31, with a show at Irving Plaza. During the concert, where the \u201cSexy Back\u201d hitmaker performed a 17-song set, Jessica, 41, brought a cake to the stage with lit birthday candles, as seen in fan footage on X. The Candy<\/em> actress enlisted help from the crowd to sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to her husband before letting him blow out the candles.<\/p>\n After the serenade, Justin made a show of thinking about his wish before he leaned over to extinguish the flames with a big breath. He stood back up with a smile and thanked the crowd before going back in to hug Jessica. Of course, he couldn\u2019t waste the opportunity to give her backside a squeeze as they embraced. Jessica reacted to the cheeky action with a smile and a slight shake of her head before walking off stage to let Justin continue the performance.<\/p>\n \u201cYa\u2019ll want to keep this party going?\u201d he asked before walking off stage to join the crowd.<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the evening, Justin caused a stir when he seemingly slammed ex Britney Spears<\/strong><\/a> for the revelations she made about him in her October 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cI would like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely f\u2013king nobody,\u201d he said before performing \u201cHoly Grail.\u201d<\/p>\n Though Justin did not mention Britney, 42, by name, many fans speculated that he was indirectly sending her a message. Britney herself then seemingly responded with her own subtle clapback on Thursday, February 1.<\/p>\n \u201cSomeone told me someone was talking s\u2013t about me on the streets!!! Do you want to bring it to court or will you go home crying to your mom like you did last time?\u201d she wrote. \u201cI\u2019m not sorry!!!\u201d<\/p>\n In her book, Britney revealed several shocking details about her relationship with Justin, which began in 1999 until they split in 2002. One huge bombshell was that she got pregnant and had an abortion<\/a> during the romance.<\/p>\n \u201cJustin definitely wasn\u2019t happy about the pregnancy,\u201d Britney claimed. \u201cHe said we weren\u2019t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young. I\u2019m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cCircus\u201d singer also claimed that Justin cheated on her during their relationship. Her revelations allegedly caused tension between Justin and Jessica<\/a>, who have been married since 2012. A source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> on January 12 that the memoir \u201cbrought up more of Jessica\u2019s trust issues\u201d and she felt \u201ctired of trying to get past things with Justin.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite their alleged problems behind closed doors, Jessica and Justin continue to put up a united front in public. The actress made her support for her husband clear with her birthday tribute<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u201cI ALWAYS got you,\u201d she wrote alongside an Instagram montage of photos and videos set to the song \u201cI Got You Babe\u201d by Sonny & Cher. \u201cHappy birthday, babe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
