Jessica BielJustin Timberlake reportedly told friends that he’s “close” to marrying girlfriend Jessica Biel.

An onlooker at last weekend’s Fashion Rocks concert in New York told OK magazine that the former NSYNC star was full of joy backstage: “[Justin] couldn’t stop smiling at Fashion Rocks. He looked like a man that had everything in the world.

“[Justin] said that he is ‘this close to being married’ and then pinched his fingers together to demonstrate.”

Justin and Jessica were first linked in January 2007, just weeks after he split from long-term girlfriend Cameron Diaz. They were then spotted together several times - including a ski trip at the Sundance film festival and kissing in London in May that year - but initially denied a romance.
