Justin Timberlake's recent DWI arrest has not only thrust him into the center of a scandal but has also had a notably embarrassing impact on his actress wife, Jessica Biel.

As Timberlake, 43, basked in the luxury of the exclusive Hamptons neighborhood of Sag Harbor, his 42-year-old wife was in the hustle and bustle of New York City, diligently working on her latest project.

However, news of her husband's arrest quickly overshadowed any headlines about her work.

Despite the tumultuous news, Biel remained dedicated to her filming commitments, bravely showing up just hours after the reports of Timberlake's legal troubles spread worldwide.

Sources close to her revealed to Daily Mail UK, that while she put on a courageous front, she was privately devastated by Timberlake's behavior.

This incident is not the first time Biel has found herself navigating scandals linked to her marriage to the once squeaky-clean boy bander-turned-Hollywood "lousy" boy.

Throughout their 12-year marriage, Biel has steadfastly stood by Timberlake, even in the face of cheating rumors, salacious revelations from his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears, and his recent brush with the law. The question on everyone's mind is, could this be the breaking point that leads to a divorce? It's too early to say.

What's genuinely captivating now is Biel's unwavering support for her husband despite the relentless online quips and public scrutiny he's enduring. She's weathered previous scandals with him, but what is her breaking point? Given the string of events and scandals surrounding her husband, it seems she has none.

Biel and Timberlake, 43, first embarked on their love story in 2007, but their romance was immediately tested.

The early years of their relationship were marked by constant media attention, breakup rumors, and busy schedules that kept them apart.

Compounding these challenges, Timberlake had earned a reputation as a bad boy by the time they got together, openly admitting to using drugs and 'getting plastered' on numerous occasions.

Meanwhile, a source told People magazine that Biels is not calm about what is happening. Instead, she feels the arrest is a "distraction," and she's "not happy" about it.

One thing the actress hates is "any attention on the family," in the negative.

Regardless, the source said she "loves" Justin and "will always be by his side." The insider insists, "He's a great dad and husband."
