Timberlake was introduced to music early on by his grandfather, performing country and gospel tunes as a child. At the age of 11, he participated in the television show “Star Search,” singing under the name “Justin Randall.” In 1993 and 1994, he became a regular cast member of “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club,” alongside future stars such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, JC Chasez, and Ryan Gosling. In 1995, he and Chasez formed a male singing group, managed by Lou Pearlman, which ultimately became NSYNC.

N’SYNC

N’SYNC came together in 1995, comprising Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass. The group’s name, often stylized as *NSYNC, is derived from the last letter of each member’s first name.

Solo Success

When NSYNC entered a hiatus in 2002, Timberlake began collaborating with Pharrell Williams on music; however, the idea of a solo career had already begun to take shape a year prior, in 2001. Timberlake penned a single titled “Gone” for Michael Jackson, but when it was declined, NSYNC recorded the song instead. Following its release, Jackson reached out to Timberlake, expressing a desire to duet on the track, but only with Timberlake and not the entire band. Timberlake reflects on their phone conversation as “the first time [he] ever really felt the confidence to [go solo].”

Timberlake debuted his solo single, “Like I Love You,” in August 2002, followed by his first solo album, “Justified,” released in November of that same year. By the summer of 2003, he was co-headlining the Justified/Stripped Tour with his former “Mickey Mouse Club” castmate, Christina Aguilera.

Prior to purchasing and listing their Soho residence in 2017, Jessica and Justin invested $20.2 million in a 5,400-square-foot duplex penthouse in Tribeca that boasts a large rooftop terrace.

After demolishing the former home, she constructed a 12,000-square-foot mansion. Following the completion of the house, Helen listed it for sale without ever residing there, after her split from husband Hank Azaria. Justin later expanded the estate by purchasing an adjacent undeveloped 7-acre lot, totaling over 10 acres. In October 2021, Justin and Jessica listed this property for $35 million.
