‘He’s charming and outgoing. And obviously he drank too much this time, but Jessica believes he didn’t cheat on her. She will stand by him,’ the source said.

‘They will work through this. It was good that he apologized publicly but obviously the real work he is doing is in private and hopefully this was just a bad drunken night of this type of behavior,’ the source added.

Another source said that the couple is ‘downplaying everything and trying to laugh it off as nothing.’

‘But it was definitely inappropriate and something that would make any wife uncomfortable,’ the source added.

‘He had too much to drink and got carried away. Their marriage will survive,’ the source added.

‘She is very good to him and he knows how lucky he is. He says it was not a big deal, they were all hanging out together and that’s the end of the story.’

Timberlake said in his statement on Wednesday that he tries to, ‘stay away from gossip as much as I can, but for my family I feel it is important to address recent rumors that are hurting the people that I love.’

He admitted that he had a ‘lapse in judgment’ in holding hands with Wainwright last month, at a bar in New Orleans, but he made it clear that, ‘nothing happened between me and my co-star.’

‘I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son. 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,’ Timberlake said.
