How many people can say they’ve had their baby news spoiled by Brian McKnight?
Two: Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake.
(If you or a loved one has had a baby announcement pre-empted by Brian McKnight, please reach out to Page Six.)
Earlier in July, reports trickled in that Biel, 38, and Timberlake, 39, had given birth to their second child. Aided by the pandemic, the pair had managed to keep the pregnancy a total secret while they holed up in Montana with their 5-year-old son Silas. They craftily avoided posting any full-body shots of Biel to social media during the later stages of the pregnancy to help further the illusion.
McKnight, 51, helped fully dispel said illusion Friday by mentioning to HollywoodLife that Timberlake “just had a new baby” in an interview ostensibly about McKnight’s recent work. (He and Timberlake are old collaborators, a relationship that dates back to JT’s *NSYNC days.)
“I think that’s going to be really inspiring for him and he’ll have some new music based on that, I’m sure,” McKnight added.
Get ready for “Baby of the Woods,” coming winter 2020!
