Timberkale, 43 years old, was raised in Memphis, Tennessee. Before the couple's move, he had mentioned his desire to return to his home state. During his 20/20 Experience tour in 2013, the singer expressed his admiration for Nashville.

He mentioned, "They really look out for each other. There are not many places in the world, especially in America, that have that sense of community. It's just a wonderful place." Timberkale also mentioned his intention to become more involved in the city in the future.

Timberlake and Biel have a home in Nashville and also own property at The Yellowstone Club in Madison County, just west of Big Sky, Montana. This exclusive venue provides access to Pioneer Mountain, a popular skiing destination, and is the only private mountain ski resort globally.

According to an insider, both Timberlake and Biel enjoy the country lifestyle. Biel specifically wanted a place in the mountains, so they acquired a property in Big Sky. This allows them to experience the best of both worlds.

Timberlake is currently traveling around the world after dropping his new album, Everything I Thought I Was. His Forget Tomorrow World Tour will take him to various cities such as Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and London.

During a recent appearance on The View, Biel opened up about their relationship, describing it as a "work in progress." She mentioned that balancing their busy work schedules can be challenging. To stay connected when they are apart, they use Zoom and FaceTime.

"I'm so tired already - we've had four shows! Oh, my goodness!" Biel joked. "I have no idea how he's going to manage. I have no idea how we're going to manage, but we'll figure it out. Somehow, in some way."
