Jessica Biel’s rarely-seen son Silas is her twin.
When Kelly Ripa joked on Wednesday’s “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast episode that Biel should “have a daughter” since it isn’t “fair that [she] should rob another woman of having that face,” the actress clarified that she has passed on her looks.
“Honestly, I already gave my face to my son Silas,” the “7th Heaven” alum, 42, said of her and husband Justin Timberlake’s 9-year-old.
Biel added, “He and I have the same face.”
Elsewhere in the episode, the Emmy nominee explained why she and Timberlake, 43, choose to keep Silas and his brother Phinneas‘ faces off of social media.
“We get hammered [by the paparazzi] in the west coast,” she said, acknowledging “that’s why we don’t live there anymore to try and create some normalcy.”
Biel, who resides in Montana with the “Sexy Back” singer, continued, “We understand that our job has this major public facing element, but these kids didn’t choose this. I don’t want to expose them in a way until they have an ability to make the decision for themselves.
“I just don’t want [their exposure] to be on my account,” she continued. “No disrespect to anyone who feels comfortable doing that, that’s just our family choice. Maybe it’s a mistake. I don’t know.”
She and Timberlake, who have been married since 2012, only show the back of their kids’ heads on Instagram.
Biel gave birth to Silas in April 2015 but kept her pregnancy with Phinneas, now 3, a secret until after the little one’s arrival.
Timberlake’s friend Brian McKnight broke the news, which the singer finally confirmed himself in September 2021.
“He’s awesome and so cute, and nobody’s sleeping. We’re thrilled and couldn’t be happier. Very grateful,” Timberlake gushed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
Phinneas’ July 2020 arrival came one year Biel and Timberlake made headlines over the Grammy winner holding hands with his “Palmer” co-star Alisha Wainwright.
The duo stayed together after Timberlake’s public apology, with Biel recently telling “The View” co-hosts that her marriage is a “work in progress” while her husband is touring.
“It’s constantly trying to find the balance, trying to find the time we can connect,” the Golden Globe nominee admitted last week. “Thank goodness for Zoom and FaceTime!”
