Justin Timberlake bought engagement ring for Jessica Biel in Rome


Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were recently in Rome for the wedding of Biel’s former Seventh Heaven co-star, Beverly Mitchell. While there they did more than just sightseeing and playing piggyback. The National Enquirer reports that Timberlake bought Biel a vintage “multicarat diamond ring,” and that it’s just a matter of time before he pops the question. Earlier reports had him postponing the wedding at his mother’s insistence. Justin’s momma is said to have warned Justin against marrying Jessica after consulting a psychic who told her the match was all wrong. Justin, 27, is said to have convinced his mom that Jessica was the one, though.

[Justin Timberlake] purchased a pricey, vintage diamond engagement ring while on an ultraromantic vacation in Rome with Jessica Biel – and pals say he’ll soon ask her to be his wife.

“Justin is ready to take the plunge,” a friend told The Enquirer.

“Jess finished moving all of her stuff into Justin’s Hollywood Hills home in early September, and now they’re planning the future – married life and kids.”

Justin and Jessica… have been dating for nearly two years. On Sept. 23, the cozy couple arrived on vacation in Rome. While in the Eternal City, they sneaked off to purchase a multicarat diamond ring and diamond encrusted bracelet.

And the first call Justin made after the big buy was to his super-protective mom Lynn…

“Justin got Lynn to come around… she’s thrilled for him.”

The Enquirer has a solid record of getting information about Timberlake and Biel and this could be true. Whether the ring was an engagement ring or not we’ll have to see. It does sound suspicious that they bought it together. I sent my then-boyfriend the website for the specific engagement ring I wanted, though, so it’s not all that different. It seems more romantic when the guy picks out the ring based on what he knows about the woman’s tastes, but there are often some not-so-subtle hints from the woman involved.

If this is true, congratulations to Timberlake and Biel. Maybe they’ll start hanging out with their newly married friends Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds and have kids around the same time.
