On Sunday, Jan. 17, Ellen DeGeneres shared a preview clip from her Jan. 18 interview with the 39-year-old pop star in which he offered the first-ever confirmation of the little one who arrived in 2020. The couple, who married in 2012 and share 5-year-old son Silas, had not revealed they were expecting.
Justin Timberlake is opened up for the first time about his second child with wife Jessica Biel! During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Monday, the superstar revealed the name of his newest son and gushed over how “grateful” he is for his family.

“I’ll tell you his name. His name is Phineas and he’s awesome,” Timberlake told DeGeneres after revealing she was one of the “first people outside of our immediate family that we told” about the addition to their family.

“He’s so cute and nobody’s sleeping,” he continued with a smile. “But we’re thrilled. We’re thrilled and couldn’t be happier.”
“Very grateful,” he added.
When Ellen asked how different it is to be parenting two children instead of just one, he quipped, “We don’t see each other anymore.” He then added, “It’s a lot of fun, but I guess the saying goes, you go from a zone defense to a man-to-man really quickly. Sort of like, ‘You go get that one, I’ll get this one!'”
The star said that Silas is thus far enjoying his new role as a big brother. “Silas is super excited,” the “Cry Me a River” performer continued. “Right now, he’s very much liking it. Phin can’t walk yet or chase him down, so I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.”
As for more updates on Silas, the proud papa shared that the 5-year-old is “very good at tennis,” and that he recently got a Nintendo Switch, which Justin jokingly refers to as “child crack.”
Justin’s former NSYNC bandmate, Lance Bass, had previously teased that he was sent plenty of photos from his pals of the latest addition to their family.
“The baby is cute of course, it’s Justin and Jessica!” Bass told ET’s Katie Krause at the time. While he wouldn’t go into detail about Timberlake and Biel’s second child, Bass did share that the *NSYNC members knew before everyone else and their group chat is now all about babies and the newborn.
Bass wouldn’t give up the name, joking, “That’s a good question,” adding, “Justin would kill me!”
