PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE: Justin Timberlake tenderly locks hands with beautiful co-star Alisha Wainwright in sensational photos which will shock devoted wife Jessica Biel. Approaching midnight in a New Orleans night spot, Timberlake, 38, was spotted reaching over and clutching the arm of the stunning 30-year-old actress, before she tenderly rested her hand on his right knee. The pair - who play on-screen lovers ion their latest movie - then gripped each other’s hands tightly as they sat intimately chatting and drinking after a day’s filming. Timberlake, not wearing the wedding band he was seen wearing earlier in the week, wrapped both his hands around Wainwright’s and looked longingly into her eyes. The photos risk breaking the heart of Biel, 37, his wife of seven years, and mother of the couple’s son, Silas, 4. Witnesses were shocked to see the singer and actor openly displaying affection for Wainwright, best known for her role as Maia Roberts on the Freeform television series Shadowhunters. She looked stunning in a figure-hugging green dress. The pair were deep in conversation for about 40 minutes, before they disappeared inside the bar. It’s believed they left via a rear exit at about 12.30am. One said Timberlake, wearing a cap, ripped jeans, and a zip-up jacket, looked to have been drinking heavily. It was 11.40pm on Thursday evening that the actors, currently filming the drama Palmer, were seen sitting chatting in the dark corner on a balcony at The Absinthe House, on Bourbon Street. At one stage, Timberlake grabbed Wainwright’s hand and rested in on his knee under their table. He then gently caressed it with both his hands. He was seen smiling and locked in intimate conversation with his co-star, who at one stage, stroked his back. “Justin looked really into her,” said an eye witness. “They were smiling and laughing and at one stage He grabbed her hand and rested it on his knee. She then gently started stroking his leg. Then he clutched her hand with both of his. He was playing with her hands. It was all very intimate.” Wainwright, looking stunning in a figure-hugging green dress, can currently be seen starring alongside Michael B Jordan in the Netflix series Raising Dion. Timberlake and Biel are widely considered to have one of the most solid marriages in Hollywood. Both regularly post heartfelt videos on Instagram. In January 2018, Biel took to Instagram to share a photo of her and Timberlake for his birthday. She captioned the photo, "A picture says a thousand words. And thank goodness because there aren't enough to express ALL the aspects of my love and respect for you. Here's to a spectacular year ahead. I'm so proud of all you've accomplished and all that is ahead for you. plus you're a super hot dad. A ninja dad.

After Justin Timberlake and his costar Alisha Wainwright were spotted holding hands at a bar in New Orleans, people were in a frenzy over what was happening between the two of them. Now, In Touch can reveal the photos that made headlines.
The 38-year-old pop star and Alisha, 30, are currently filming their movie, Palmer, together — a film about an ex-convict “who strikes up a friendship with a boy from a troubled home,” the description reads on IMDB — in Louisiana. The duo went to The Absinthe House on Bourbon Street on Thursday, November 21, where they appeared to be holding hands, chatting and enjoying one another’s company.
Later on in the night, Justin — who is married to Jessica Biel, and they share their son, Silas, 4, together — appeared to be intoxicated. At one point, the brunette beauty appeared to stroke the “Cry Me a River” crooner’s knee, and then they held hands underneath the table. Ultimately, Justin’s coworkers helped him stand up as he stumbled out of the established, according to video footage obtained by The Sun.
However, it seems like Justin and Alisha are “just friends,” a source who was at the bar the same night told Us Weekly. “Several cast members were there, and it was just a cast gathering,” the insider explained. “Nothing remotely romantic is going on with Justin and Alisha. The whole cast is shooting out there and like to hang out together. They were very much in public and nothing inappropriate was happening.”
A second insider revealed the Friends With Benefits actor and the Florida native “are like brother and sister” and “are definitely not hooking up.” Alisha’s rep also cleared the air about the rumors. “There is no validity to this speculation. They are working on a project together,” a statement obtained by the outlet read.
Since then, Justin has not said anything about his marriage or his friendship with Alisha. On Sunday, November 24 — just three days after his night on the town — he was back on set of his new film and wore a blue prison-like suit. The Grammy winner also wore two different outfits and held a coffee in his hand.
