Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake, known for their successful careers in Hollywood, made a decision to step away from the spotlight when it comes to their children. Instead of raising their kids in bustling cities like Los Angeles and New York, the couple opted for a quieter life on their property in Big Sky, Montana. This move has allowed them to give their sons, Silas and Phineas, a sense of normalcy away from the paparazzi.
During an episode of Kelly Ripa’s podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera, Biel explained their decision by saying, “You get hammered in the east coast, you kinda get hammered on the West coast. That’s why we don’t really live there anymore.” She went on to express their desire to create a sense of normalcy for their children and share their family life with their loved ones and friends.
Recognizing the public-facing nature of their jobs, Biel emphasized the importance of not exposing their children to the spotlight until they can make that decision for themselves. This genuine concern for their kids’ well-being and privacy is a driving force behind their choice to live away from the big cities.
Over the years, the couple has owned multiple properties across the United States. In addition to their Montana property, they also purchased land near Nashville in Timberlake’s home state of Tennessee. While they have sold some of their homes on the East and West Coasts, they have maintained their kids’ privacy by not sharing photos of their faces on social media.
Biel acknowledged that the “social media world” will eventually become a big part of their children’s lives, but she wants to give them the freedom to make their own choices about how much they want to be exposed. By engaging in a more authentic and restrained way on social media, they are able to shield their kids from unnecessary attention.
Choosing privacy and normalcy for their children is a deliberate and thoughtful decision that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have made. By prioritizing their kids’ well-being and allowing them to make choices about their own exposure, this superstar couple is setting an example of responsible parenting in the spotlight.
