Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, married for 12 years, are reportedly spending time apart during the holiday season, according to a source. An insider claimed that Biel initiated the separation but has decided not to file for divorce.

“She might go to one or two of his concerts to show that she’s willing to support him,” the source shared. “But personally, he’s relieved to have some space so he can take stock, work on his projects and meet friends,” the source said.

The insider suggested that the distance is partly due to past difficulties, including Timberlake’s DWI arrest in June. “Emotionally, it will be a relief for him to get away from all the drama,” the source said.

Despite recent challenges, Timberlake was reportedly focused on repairing the relationship earlier this year. The couple, who celebrated their anniversary in October, have two sons, Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4.
