Justin Timberlake’s controversies have often cast big shadows over his successful career.

Apparently, Justin and Jessica are unloading their real estate portfolio, which could be another sign they’re preparing for a divorce in which they’d have to split their million-dollar assets. They’ve reportedly got properties for sale in New York, California, and Tennessee.
“Friends say it’s a sign they’re getting their finances in order,” the source continued. “At one point, they retreated to another home, in Montana, in the hopes of getting away from drama and starting over, but you can’t run away from your problems.”
“Britney’s book revelations brought up more of Jessica’s trust issues,” they continued. “But everyone thought it was super calculated. The truth is, Jessica is tired of trying to get past things with Justin.”
The source’s comments echo a report from November which claimed that Jessica believes Justin should apologize for mistreating Britney, and that it would greatly help improve their marriage, which was strained by the memoir.

Even before Britney’s memoir, the Biel-Timberlake family faced a difficult time when Justin was accused of cheating in 2019 with his co-star Alisha Wainwright.

Justin eventually released a statement in which he said he “regrets” his behavior, though he denied an affair was taking place. Prior to that, Justin had been accused of cheating on Jessica in 2010 by the tabloids, though he didn’t address the speculation.

For now, Timberlake and Biel (who’ve been married since 2012) haven’t publicly addressed the speculation surrounding their marriage.
