Is the one-time star of one of America’s biggest boy bands ready to settle down? Us Weekly reports 30-year-old, Justin Timberlake, has popped the question to on-again, off-again girlfriend, 29-year-old actress, Jessica Biel.

 

“... the couple of four and a half years became engaged in late December. … After a brief three-month split in 2011, Biel made it clear that she wanted to spend her life with Timberlake, 30. ‘When they reunited, they had a conversation about taking the next step’ [a source said].”

 

News12 has details on the proposal.

 

“It happened while they were vacationing in Jackson, Wyoming -- a testament to Biel’s love of snowboarding and the mountains.”

 

When the couple parted ways last year, reports credited the split to Timberlake not being ready for marriage -- some going so far as to say he had cheated on Biel. Anchors on WCBS hope the singer is finally taking the plunge.

 

“Tough to get keep up with that young man. Maybe this will settle him down.”

 

But The Fab Life is skeptical about the news itself -- wondering if Us Weekly is just trying to sell magazines.

 

“A couple of weeks ago, sources in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, started spreading the rumor … But if it’s true, we’ve heard nothing official since then. … Us Weekly is hyping its new issue by citing ‘several insiders’ who say the story is true.”

 

And with the headline, “Justin Timberlake Crushes The Dreams of Women Everywhere,” PopDust says -- if the news is true, bring on the Kleenex.

 

“Someone please check the stock of Ben & Jerry’s at our local bodega, as well as the boxed wine supply at the liquor store around the corner.”

 

Biel and Timberlake have neither confirmed nor denied the reports.
