Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake on 10 Years of Marriage

After celebrating her tenth wedding anniversary to Justin Timberlake on Oct. 19, Jessica Biel says balancing work, two kids, and a wedding is a full-time job. During an interview on “Today With Hoda and Jenna” with hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager, Biel explained that “you could have to maintain working hard to make [your marriage] fresh.” The couple — who dressed up because the “Home Alone” antagonists for Halloween — celebrated their romance by secretly renewing their vows during a PDA-filled trip to Italy over the summer.

“It was very intimate. It was very small,” Biel told Kotb and Hager on Nov. 15. “[We had] a few our friends, and we literally, barely put this thing together. We almost canceled it. We thought, ‘Oh, that is silly. Are we going to feel goofy doing this?’ And, actually, it was so moving. I felt like, ‘Wow, we will keep doing this. Have a look at us.'”

Since they first began dating in 2007, Biel and Timberlake have split up, gotten back together, gotten married, and welcomed two children: their sons, Silas and Phineas. While Biel admits that being a mom is not at all times the sexiest job on this planet, she adds that raising children together has pushed her and Timberlake to prioritize their relationship in latest ways.

“[Being a mom] might be the primary most unsexy job on this planet, for probably the most part. It’s the very best job, most days, after which it could be such a difficult job,” she said. “But I believe it will be important to — you could have to go on date nights. You could have to take that point for yourself. It is so hard. I’m attempting to take my very own advice. I’m not good at it, and I’m still working on finding that balance in my life . . . Justin at all times says, ‘We cannot stop dating, we’ve to maintain dating,’ and he’s right.”

Finding that balance is not easy, but Biel adds that, after 10 years of marriage to Timberlake, she’s grateful for the security and sense of adventure that their marriage provides her. “It feels so, I do not know, a mix of incredibly secure, and deep understanding of one other person,” Biel said. “But then also just, I suppose, the security to adventure again and type of be interested by the world again as a pair and as individuals.”
