After cheating rumours shook their marriage last year, an insider tells heat that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are now back on track. Turns out all it took was some good, old-fashioned quality time together.

“They were on shaky ground, but quarantine has been a blessing in disguise – it’s brought them closer together,” our source says.

“They’ve been isolating on their ranch in Montana, enjoying hikes in the woods and fishing, plus other simple stuff. They realised they were headed in the wrong direction because Jessica was a workaholic and Justin was being a flake, but they’re committed to never letting things get so bad again.”

Last November, Justin, 39, was spotted getting cosy with his co-star Alisha Wainwright while on a boozy night out, and his relationship with his wife subsequently took a huge hit. But now it seems after some hard work, 37-year-old Jessica has forgiven Justin and the couple have turned things around.

“They’ve really worked hard on their marriage over the past six months, and now have the communication tools to get things back on track. They’ve learned to move on and enjoy this time on the ranch with their little family,” our source continues. “Justin will be the first to admit he had to do some major work to win back Jessica’s trust.She’s impressed with the change she’s seen in him, and she’s glad she stuck in there and gave him another chance.”

The couple have a five-year-old son, Silas, and the source says that he has helped them focus on the important things in life. But they added that Justin and Jessica have learned they need time for themselves as well. “When Silas is asleep, that’s when they enjoy their one-on-one time, which is so key to keeping the spark in the marriage,” we’re told. “They’ll put on some music or enjoy a movie together.”

The insider adds, “They’ve now pledged to take a few weeks out in Montana every year to get away and focus on their relationship. There’s always going to be work commitments, but they know they have each other to lean on.”
