Justin Timberlake Talks Being Unable To 'Erase' The Past: 'You Can Improve The Next Path'

Justin Timberlake is opening up about his marriage.

Though he doesn’t spill ALL the details about what things have been like with Jessica Biel since his less than shining moment a few months ago, the 39-year-old did share some insight worth noting to the Daily Mail.

He admits the road to maturity in marriage isn’t always easy:

“I don’t have any secret for growing up except to continue to try to do my best. There’s always something to learn, and you have to realise that you have a footprint and you can’t go back and erase it. But you can improve the next path, and that’s all you can really do.”

Timberlake added:

“I think it’s important to remember that you go into marriage knowing that you don’t know very much about it at all.”

He also spoke about how his relationship with the 7th Heaven alum began:

“She’s still serious about her career, but she’s also funny and charismatic and patient and understanding and incredibly passionate. There was nothing starry about the way we got together. We met and got talking, and afterwards I asked our friend if I could call her and ask her out. He called Jessica and she said yes, though I must say I had to be pretty persistent. But I have a fair amount of tenacity and if I want something I stick to it.”

The Summer Love crooner also spoke about how fatherhood is a very grounding role, but one he’s happy to be in:

“It’s humbling for sure! It’s amazing and it’s hard, but you just have to realise that the real success of parenthood is getting to wake up the next day and fail all over again! But it’s the thing that makes me happiest, hands down.”

Following Trolls World Tour and Palmer, there isn’t much in the way of films on the agenda for Timberlake, since he’s gotten pickier about the projects he chooses over the years:

“Work takes you away from your family, so if I’m going to work on a project it better be something really inspiring. I’m now at a point in my life where I can be choosy about the things I do. The more I enjoy being an artist and a dad and a husband, each day I find a little bit more of myself and a way to express that. I love my work and I love my family, and that’s a very good place to be.”
