This is so sweet. Justin Timberlake broke down while giving a heartfelt speech upon his induction into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame and thanked wife Jessica Biel, calling her his “rock,” on Saturday, Oct. 17.
“This is the f—ing coolest thing that has ever happened to me,” the pop star, 34, said, after an introduction from close friend Jimmy Fallon.
“I wanna thank all the great artists in this hall,” he continued, choking up. “I’m truly honored to merely stand on the shoulders of all these legends I grew up listening to, and I grew up admiring, to say that I stand alongside them now.”
Looking dapper in a navy and black houndstooth suit jacket, the “SexyBack” singer sweetly thanked Biel, 33, calling her both his “rock” and “beautiful, loving and incredibly understanding.”
“Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write,” he said of the actress.
Biel and Timberlake dated on and off for five years before marrying in Italy in October 2012. They welcomed their first child, son Silas Randall, this past April.
