A month after Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake were first romantically linked in January 2007, Timberlake was reportedly spotted getting flirty with Scarlett Johansson, the star of his “What Goes Around … Comes Around” music video. An eyewitness told Page Six that the pair spent a lot of time together at a Super Bowl weekend party, recalling, “Scarlett came up, leaned into him and did a sexy, little dance, grinding into his body.” But Timberlake and Biel would become more serious in the following months, and Johansson married Ryan Reynolds in 2008. That same year, OK! reported that Biel had sought relationship advice from Johansson and coordinated a double date with her.
Fast forward to 2011 when Johansson and Reynolds were going through a divorce. According to the National Enquirer, Biel was concerned that Timberlake’s interest in Johansson would be rekindled now that she was single. “Jessica is terrified the former lovers will pick up right where they left off. After all, he dated Jessica and Scarlett simultaneously at one point,” a source said. In September 2011, Us Weekly seemed to justify Biel’s supposed fear by reporting that Timberlake had visited Johansson’s NYC apartment. However, their reps denied that this happened.
Biel seemed to shrug off the ScarJo rumors by signing on to star alongside her in the 2012 movie “Hitchcock.” They even had a friendly conversation about Biel’s honeymoon at the film’s premiere when Johansson inquired about it. Per Us Weekly, Biel gushed, “It was like magic.”
