Jessica Biel and husband Justin Timberlake have been there for each other through all of the ups and downs — whether it be in their personal or professional lives.
Though their respective busy careers can make it tough to keep the spark alive, the actress explained that marrying someone who also works in Hollywood has actually been beneficial for their relationship.
Jessica Biel Reveals Secret to Her and Justin Timberlake's 12-Year Marriage
Jessica Biel said having a husband who also works in showbiz has helped her and Justin Timberlake's marriage last.
"I think having a partner who understands this industry and, adjacent industries like music industry, entertainment industry has been really deeply important and profound for my life and for our partnership," she explained to InStyle. "Because he just understands when I'm working crazy long hours and I understand, you know, that for him, too."
"I get it when he works all night long. That's kind of normal, and I kind of know that," the mom-of-two, 43, continued. "So we are able to support each other throughout strange schedules and time apart because we know that's just what it takes to make this kind of art."
The actress and Timberlake began dating in 2007 and married five years later.
While talking about her acting, writing and producing aspirations, the brunette beauty acknowledged that expanding her horizons could lead to failure — but the singer, 44, is encouraging her to follow her dreams.
"It's such a delicate business, one thing goes away and everything falls apart," she said. "People have to trust and take risks. You gotta risk it for the biscuit. That's a new thing Justin and I are saying: ‘You gotta risk it for the biscuit.’ I don't even know what it means, like, tangibly."

I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that."
