Jessica Biel's Open Relationship with Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Work It Out

Justin Timberlake seems to have finagled a deal with Jessica Biel that involves the best of both worlds...and one of the fittest girls in Hollywood! How did Justin Timberlake strike a deal with his long-time squeeze to date other women? Oooh, it's delicious, although if true, Jessica needs a backbone!

Even though the two were seen together looking serious at a Jay-Z concert, rumor has it that they are only together because Justin Timberlake got what he wanted--a free pass to date anyone he wants, keeping things loose with Jessica on a hook-up basis. Gag! How did she ever agree to this one? According to the spies out there, it has a lot to do with Jessica's love for the guy (don't ask, right?).

"Yes, it appears Justin and Jessica are now friends with benefits,' FOX reported. "Justin was very clear with Jessica that he didn't want to be in a serious relationship with her anymore where he wasn't able to date other people," an insider spilled. "Jessica took the news very hard, but once she calmed down and they started talking again, he convinced her to stay friends who hook up, without all the pressure of a relationship."

Apparently Jessica Biel is SO in love with him that she can't quit him "cold turkey," and this was her "healthy" compromise. The source concluded that "Justin gets the best of both worlds. He doesn't have to lose Jess as a lover or a friend, but he’s free to explore other [relationships]."

Someone get some Steinem into Biel's hands, and now.

We still think they are/were a cute couple. Check out these great pics of Justin and Jessica together.
