NEED TO KNOW
- Jessica Biel shared a sweep photo of a bouquet of flowers she received from her sons while she was sick
- “My kids are the best ♥️,” she wrote in the caption
- The post comes a few weeks after her husband Justin Timberlake revealed his Lyme Disease diagnosis
Jessica Biel is on the mend after her sons gave her a sweet get-well gift.
Biel, 43, shared photos of a bouquet of sunflowers wrapped in brown paper – with a message written on a napkin taped to the outside. “Get Well Soon Mommy! We Love You!” the note read, and was surrounded by small hearts.
“My kids are the best ♥️,” the actress wrote in the caption of the Instagram post, shared on Thursday, Aug. 21.
Biel shares sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, with husband Justin Timberlake. The couple tied the knot in 2012. The photos offered a rare glimpse at parenthood for the family, as they typically opt to keep their children out of the spotlight.
“I try to be conscious of making sure we can live a life where we’re not weirdly private,” the “Mirrors” singer, 44, said during an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast in 2021. “But we’re conscious of making sure they can be kids for as long as possible and not have the weight of somebody else treating them differently because of something that their parents do.”
Biel’s illness comes shortly after Timberlake’s Lyme disease diagnosis. On Aug. 3, a family source told PEOPLE exclusively, “He’s not 20 anymore. But when his symptoms worsened, he realized something deeper was going on.”
The source elaborated, “He pushed through for months before finally getting answers. The Lyme disease diagnosis brought clarity to a series of unexplained issues that he’s been quietly dealing with.”

Biel “felt like something was off” with her husband’s health and “encouraged him to get checked out,” the source added. “She could tell that he wasn’t himself. She’s incredibly supportive.”
Timberlake announced his diagnosis in a candid Instagram post shared on July 31, telling fans that he wanted to “shed some light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes.” The revelation came amid critiques of his performances toward the end of his concert run.
Biel most recently starred with Elizabeth Banks in The Better Sister, which was released on Prime Video in May.
