Justin Timberlake has parted ways with his sprawling Tennessee property following his arrest for driving while intoxicated, nine years after he purchased it in 2015.

AceShowbiz - Justin Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, have recently sold their expansive property in Tennessee for an impressive $8 million, which is double the amount Timberlake originally paid for it in 2015. The nearly 127-acre estate, located in Franklin, features spectacular views of Leipers Creek Valley, 50 acres of wildlife food plots, a fishing pond, spring creeks, and miles of trails, promising a serene and picturesque retreat.
Timberlake bought the property from philanthropist and preservationist Aubrey Preston, who shared a mutual admiration for the land. "Both of us share that love of Tennessee and enjoyed how we grew up, on land… We want to do our part to save that for future generations, and our kids," said Preston.
The timing of the sale has drawn significant attention as it happened just a fortnight before Timberlake's arrest for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Sag Harbor, NY. On June 18, the singer was taken into custody after being pulled over in the Hamptons for erratic driving. Police reports indicate that Timberlake's eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and there was a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. He also performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests.
Despite the arrest, Timberlake's professional commitments have continued. His current "Forget Tomorrow World Tour" remains unaffected. During a Chicago performance post-arrest, Timberlake addressed the crowd, admitting, "It's been a tough week," but still delivering a powerful show.
Jessica Biel has stood by her husband throughout the ordeal. She and their two sons, Silas, nine, and Phineas, four, were present at one of his shows at Madison Square Garden. The family moved to Montana, Colorado during pandemic.
On Father's Day, just hours before his arrest, Timberlake shared a touching message on Instagram, "My 2 greatest gifts. I learn more about myself every day just because you both chose me to be your Daddy… I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys… to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life and to pick you up when you fall."
An insider revealed that Timberlake and Biel are putting their focus on their family and careers while trusting their legal team to handle the situation. "They have faith in their legal team and continue to focus on work and their family instead," the source disclosed.
As Timberlake navigates these personal challenges, his ability to balance career success with family support continues to be unwavering.
