Justin Timberlake praises his ‘two dads’ in heartwarming tribute as he leads stars

Justin Timberlake gave a shout out to both of the father figures in his life – dad Charles Randall Timberlake and stepdad Paul Harless – in a heartwarming tribute he shared on Father’s Day.

In an epic throwback, the 44-year-old pop star Instastoried a snap of himself decked out in Star Search-era Western wear while posing with the Baptist church choir director, who divorced his mother Janet Harless in 1985.

One year later, Janet wed Paul, so Justin made sure to post a snap of his stepdad with his 10-year-old son Silas in the tribute.

Timberlake shared a third snap of one of his dads playing golf with what appeared to be his four-year-old son Phineas.

The 10-time Grammy winner also posted a rare Instagram slideshow of himself embracing little Silas and Phineas.

‘There’s no bigger reward or responsibility that I have ever felt in my life above being a father. To teach and to learn at the same time… I feel beyond blessed,’ Justin – who boasts 193.8M social media followers – gushed on Sunday.

‘I see my two dads, my grandfathers, [and] my uncles more and more clearly every year that I get to experience this life with them. And I see myself more and more clearly in every moment I have with my sons, watching who they continue to become.

‘You can’t put a price tag on that type of generational wealth! Here’s to all the Dads out there! Cheers! Happy Father’s Day!’

Timberlake’s wife of 12 years – Jessica Biel – reposted his slideshow with the caption: ‘Happy Father’s Day to the best dad out there. We love you so much!’

The 43-year-old Better Sister actress also Instastoried a snap of herself with the No Angels singer and their son Phineas captioned: ‘Celebrating you today and every day!’

Last month, Jessica said she planned on ‘taking the kids’ so he ‘can just go have a great’ Father’s Day and, considering Justin was in Denmark on Saturday, he’s definitely in Europe.

‘Justin loves to golf, so I hope he gets to golf that day,’ Biel told E! News.

‘And of course it’s fun to spend time with your kids, but from everything I know about Mother’s Day where you just really need a break and want a solo break, I will take the kids.’

Timberlake – who gets 44.5M monthly listeners on Spotify – is next scheduled to bring his $205.2M-grossing, 122-date The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to Poland’s PGE Narodowy in Warsaw this Tuesday.

Emma Heming Willis posted a snap of her 11-year-old daughter Evelyn embracing her husband Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023.

‘Happy Father’s Day to all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them,’ the 46-year-old Make Time podcaster wrote on Sunday.

‘What Bruce teaches our girls goes far beyond words. Resilience, unconditional love, and the quiet strength in simply being present. This photo says so much. Love deepens. It adapts. It stays, even when everything else changes.

‘But to be fair to myself, these symbolic days stir up a lot. I’m profoundly sad today. I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family.’

The retired 70-year-old and Emma – who are also proud parents of 13-year-old daughter Mabel – began dating in 2008 and they celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary on March 27.

Bruce welcomed three adult daughters – Rumer, 36; Scout, 33; and Tallulah, 31 – during his 11-year marriage to Oscar nominee Demi Moore, which ended in 2000.

‘You taught me to dream boldly, work relentlessly, and never give up.’

‘Seeing you with her is the most beautiful thing,’ Lily gushed.

‘You certainly were born to be a dad and you continue to amaze me every single day with the countless ways you protect and nurture her, make her laugh, and shower her with adoration. Thank you for taking the best care of our little T and of course big brother @redforddog. What would we do without you? We love you so so SO much.’

Josh Brolin shared an Instagram slideshow featuring his famous father James Brolin as well as all four of his children along with a heartfelt poem.

‘What is being a father other than being given the gift and horror of reveal and example? At some point with parenting you realize that who you are is not them and that father that fretted or celebrated no longer defines you,’ the 57-year-old Brothers actor wrote.

‘But a part of who we are goes into both. Even a passing thought of my four children moves me. Almost forty years of parenting and the realization that it’s not the answer that counts but the being there as a symbol of safety. My father, as I spent so much time looking upwards at him (he’s still taller than me) represents what? A great force of nature and that man I could always rely on.’

‘My dad has always been my biggest supporter, my best friend, and my number one teacher not just in sports but in life. The values he passed on to our family – hard work, integrity, compassion, and unconditional love, shaped me in every way.

‘Each day I try to live up to the example he set: to be present and to make sure my kids know how much I love and care about them. I’m grateful for every moment and it’s a pleasure watching these three beautiful angels grow up!’
