Jessica Biel's marriage to Justin Timberlake is a "work in progress"
The 42-year-old actress has been married to 'Cry Me A River' singer Justin, 43, since 2012 and has sons Silias, nine, and three-year-old Finneas with him but insisted that she is constantly trying to "find a balance" in her relationship while he is away on his current world tour

Speaking on ABC's 'The View', she explained: "It's always a work in progress, right? It's constantly trying to find the balance, trying to find the time we can connect. Thank goodness for Zoom and Facetime. For parents who are gone a lot, that has been really helpful. Just finding the time we can connect and see each other in person or get him with the kids.
"We've never done this before with two, I'm exhausted. There's been four shows. I don't know how he's gonna do it or how we're gonna do it but we're gonna get through it, somehow, some way!"
Meanwhile, former ' 7th Heaven' star has released 'A Kids Book About Periods' and explained that she even wants her sons to be aware of female reproductive health so they can "understand" what their friends or even future partners may be going through.
She said: "It was kind of an accident. Female reproductive health has always been interesting to me. It just felt like an important subject to start with to demystify, de-stigmatise, and give parents and young people who are about to experience big changes in their bodies a tool and a resource.
"I think it's important for everybody to know about the changes our family members and loved ones are experiencing, whether you're experiencing them or not.
"I have a period and I want my boys to understand what I'm going through, I want them to be supportive or maybe eventual partners. When I was young and I was learning about sex-ed and health, we were separated so it was all a mystery and it doesn't feel right."
Keke Palmer is able to use the "lessons" of her early fame in her relationships today.
The 30-year-old actress - whose real name is Lauren Keyana Palmer - moved from her hometown in Harvey, Illinois to Hollywood with her parents and sisters in the late 2000s so she could start her career and even though she found things to be "confusing" at that time, she is now able to "understand" others better.
She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I think that a lot of the lessons that I learned in terms of how to deal with life at that confusing time are skills that I'm able to use to this day in every relationship.
"Seeing things from other people's perspective from those early years of becoming 'Keke Palmer,' seeing the way it shifted the dynamic in [our] family, that helped me to learn how to understand people better.
"It was very much, 'So OK, this is Keke and we doing everything for Keke and everything Keke,' but really the Keke Palmer brand is something that has helped propel us all in different areas so, like, that's great."
Keke has sisters Loreal, 34, as well as 23-year-old Lawrencia, and her elder sister insisted during the joint interview that she was "never jealous" of her sibling amid her sudden rise to fame.
She said: "I talk about how [when] people find out we're sisters they're always like, 'Were you ever jealous?' and it's like, no, I was never jealous in the sense that they're thinking. It was more so like, 'What is my acting? What is my entertaining? Like, why can't I find my thing?
"I was literally just telling someone the other day, 'She's just a born entertainer. She could be paid pennies and she would still do this because she's done this her whole life."
However, the 'Nope' actress - who has son Leo, 15 months, with ex-partner Darius Jackson admitted that it took her "a lot of years" to get through those early days of her Nickelodeon stardom because she felt "responsible" for her whole family.
She said: "But it still seems so one-person focused and it took me a lot of years to get through some of that with myself, with feeling responsible for everyone. So when I hear your telling of it, it really is like, wow, that's just a narrative that I've been telling myself... and then you're telling yourself a whole 'nother narrative and we both just killing ourselves with our narratives."
