The sinner - JUST IN BEGS FOR FORGIVENESS

The A-list couple are no longer in seventh heaven

It was, as public apologies go, pretty epic. Nearly two weeks after Justin Timberlake was snapped getting close to his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright in New Orleans – without his wedding band – the singer took to Instagram in an attempt to explain his behaviour and make amends with his wife Jessica Biel and their four-year-old son Silas.

Highlighting that “nothing happened” with Alisha, Justin wrote, “I drank way too much that night and I regret my behaviour. I should have known better.”

But the mea culpa may have been too little too late, with sources confirming the 38-year-old is struggling to save his seven-year marriage to Jessica, 37.

“The cheating scandal has exploded and the repercussions of Justin’s actions in New Orleans are far from over,” according to an insider. “Jessica won’t return his texts or calls. She’s making his life a living hell. Justin could lose everything. His comfortable life has been completely shattered.”
