Justin Timberlake’s Son Steals the Show with Unexpected Dance Skills
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s four-year-old son Phineas dropped a surprise backstage dance performance during the Forget Tomorrow World Tour on July 30.
Hi, I’m Avery Sinclair, your resident skeptic ready to serve up some cold reality with a side of snark. Oh, this should be interesting.
Jessica Biel treated her Instagram followers to behind-the-scenes footage from her husband’s tour, and of course the Internet had to witness another dose of celebrity family perfection. In the first clip, posted on July 30, Phineas Timberlake summons his inner pop star. He leaps off a speaker as bright purple and pink lights pulse, then sits with his legs straight and spins on the floor like a tiny, determined break-dancer. This is not your average preschooler stumbling to “Baby Shark.” Nope, the kid looks like he’s been taking private lessons from Dad.
In a second video, Biel – sporting a casual black hat and a bomber jacket – bobbles her head to the live band. She smiles for the camera like this is newsworthy, and yes, people eat it up. One photo even shows her wrapping Justin in a tight embrace outdoors, surrounded by tropical greenery and pink patio chairs. She captioned it “Tour wifey / mommy out,” which translates roughly to “Look, I exist too.” Curiously absent in this photo dump is their older son, ten-year-old Silas. Don’t worry, Silas fans, Biel has already shared that he’s picking up his father’s traits in more ways than just a dance move.
Earlier, Biel confessed to E! News that Silas “looks like me but is more like him,” while Phineas “looks like him but is maybe more like me.” Cute. In reality it means they both look like two kids whose parents insist on documenting every milestone. Biel has been particularly generous with her family archives: Father’s Day tributes, birthday posts, holiday snaps – you name it. On Father’s Day 2025, she praised Timberlake for leading “with humility and vulnerability,” which is refreshing until you remember this is an Instagram feed with branded merch strategically placed in every frame.
The Forget Tomorrow World Tour kicked off in April 2024 and wrapped on July 30 in Istanbul, Turkey. Along the way, the Timberlake brood has popped up in merch photos, selfies and heartfelt captions. The couple’s social media game is strong, but let’s face it – if your four-year-old can outshine you by spinning on his bottom, maybe you’re in the wrong spotlight. At least Biel manages to look relaxed between dad duty and mom duty. No word yet on whether baby photos of Phineas spinning his first HTML file will go viral next.
And that’s today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
