Summary "He told me a while ago, and I kept my mouth shut," Fatone told In Touch Weekly.
New York (AFP) - Heartthrob couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are expecting their first child, Timberlake s former bandmate says.
Joey Fatone, who performed with Timberlake in the boy band NSync, confirmed Biel s long-rumored pregnancy in an interview to be released Wednesday.
"He told me a while ago, and I kept my mouth shut," Fatone told In Touch Weekly.
"Jessica is awesome, and Justin is a kid at heart," he was quoted as telling the magazine.
Timberlake, 33, made his start as a child television star before joining NSync.
He more recently has become one of the music industry s most popular solo singers and has starred in movies including the Facebook-themed drama "The Social Network."
Timberlake in 2012 married Biel, 32, who has found success both on television and in film.
