Many celebrities choose to keep their kids’ lives private, including Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake. On rare occasions, the couple will share photos of their sons (not of their faces) on social media. In honor of Silas’ 5th birthday Biel shared one of these moments. Posting a photo of her and Silas with his back facing the camera, Biel wrote, “This little man is 5 today! We’re at home, covered in legos and birthday cake right now… but I just found this pic on my phone from last summer and it made me so happy.” Years later, Silas is close to hitting double digits — in 2024, he will turn 9 years old. Every day, he’s getting older, but he has had to grow up quickly.
In 2018, Biel revealed in a conference that she and Timberlake were choosing to talk about sex education with a then 2-year-old Silas, per People. She explained, “I have a 2½-year-old [and] we’re starting [sexual education] now. We’re using technical terms … we shower together, and [we say], ‘This is what I’ve got. This is what you’ve got.’ We just talk about it.” She continued, “I know it’s really young, but I really believe that if you start this early, there’s no shame.” While every parent may not choose to talk about sex education with a kid that age, Biel felt it would only help Silas’ overall growth.
