Humbled Justin Timberlake has a long road ahead as he grapples with Lyme disease, and sources tell the National Enquirer the diagnosis has motivated him to change his ways — including a vow to save his rocky marriage to Jessica Biel.
“This illness has really changed Justin. His ‘nothing can touch me’ attitude is gone,” reports an insider.
Timberlake revealed he had been living with debilitating Lyme disease throughout his Forget Tomorrow world tour, which wrapped July 30 in Istanbul, Turkey.
“I’ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease … living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,” Justin shared on social media.
An insider says it’s a big wake-up call for the 44-year-old “SexyBack” singer: “He’s telling people he needs to take his stress levels way down if he wants to get better. He can’t push himself nonstop anymore.”
“And it’s his wife and kids he wants to give his energy to, not work and partying!”
As readers know, Justin and 43-year-old Jessica’s marriage has been feeling the strain. First, there was his DWI last year, which he managed to downgrade to the lesser charge of DWAI, driving while ability impaired. Then he was filmed berating his crew over sound issues while on stage at England’s Lytham Festival.
“It’s no secret their marriage has taken some hits lately with his questionable behavior, but Justin is adamant that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to hang on to Jess. He says that without her, his life is empty,” says the insider.
“He’s vowing to dial back the ego and make more time for family. He’s even started talking about taking a real break from work for the first time in years.”
While the diagnosis has shaken Timberlake, it’s also forced him to open his eyes, sources say.
“Jessica has been incredible through all of it. She’s his rock, the one who keeps everything together, and he’s so grateful,” reveals the insider. “It’s made him feel pretty shabby for all the stress he’s put her though, but his goal now is to be the best version of himself.”

I’ve suffered from the residual effects of lymes for a dozen years- babesia specifically- miserable
I know of someone on RFK Jrs chronic disease committee and they are looking into lymes
bump
Isn’t Lyme disease a bio weapon that was in containment like COVID?
So he won’t be offering his “D___ In A Box” anymore?
See my earlier post about having lymes. There is a belief the US government was developing the disease to spread it through ticks.
Lots of tick borne illness specialists say if the government came clean about what they did and what’s in the tick it would be much easier to find a cure/remedy
I think tics carried disease before the 1950’s but the boys at Plum Island made that disease worse, I guaran-damn-tee it.
Another recently-discovered tick-borne illness is the allergy to red meat. Well, the allergy has been around for some time now, it’s just the role of the tick that has been recently discovered. Can you guess what came next? A journal article was published urging that that particular tick be widely distributed in order to create a pandemic of allergy to red meat! No kidding. What do you bet the authors are militant vegans?
A few celebs lately have “Lyme disease” also known as drug use.
It was named “exhaustion” in olden days that required a stay at a hospital.
Funny song, gotta admit. I have it on my Rock Christmas mix cd.
I’ll try but I don’t speak directly with the person working with RFK Jr rather her mother in law
The girl working with RFK Jr had devastating effects from lymes
If that's true, she's already repulsed by him.
Had a friend of mine get Lyme’s disease. It was discovered far to late. She went from an awesome funny individual, full of life and I considered the little sister I never had and would do anything for to a withdrawn, paranoid individual with bizarre outburst when she was finally diagnosed. She had a permanent stint installed for massive amounts of antibiotics that never worked. Lost her 2 years ago. She was a shell of her former self.
My oldest daughter also got it but I was adamnt about getting tested yearly and they caught it early.
My understanding is whenever they catch it, diagnosed etc, you never get better from that point. You can’t reverse it but you can stop it from that point on.
Hell of a disease.
It’s “Lyme Disease”, named after the town of Lyme, Connecticut where the first identified rash of cases occurred.
Notwithstanding the merits of Lyme Disease...Yolanda Hadid is a picture of a celeb with Lyme Disease trying to hang onto a man.
Our cat was bitten by a tick carrying bobcat fever. She died; it’s almost always fatal. I don’t know if humans are immune. I hate ticks!
