Over the last year we’ve heard all kinds of rumors about Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s relationship being on the rocks, but according to Fox News the couple took a little break and are now back together and stronger than ever.

An insider close to the couple dished the following on the matter:

“Things began taking a turn for the worse for Jess and Justin around the MTV Video Music Awards in September. Justin was staying in New York by himself, working a lot and going out with his friends. He and Jess took some time apart through the fall while she was working, but stayed in touch via phone. They visited each other a little bit and Jess missed Justin, but she was willing to give him space. It really worked out because by the time the holidays were coming, Justin was back and focused on Jess!Justin loves Jessica and he wants to be with her. She makes him happy, they have so much in common and she is a good fit for him. She’s low-key and makes the effort to spend quality time with her family and friends. Justin was being preemptive when he considered breaking up — he realizes what it would be like to lose Jessica and he cares about her so much. He wants her in his life and they are in a great new place in their relationship. Justin’s mom has often commented that she would love to see him and Jess marry and have her grandchildren. Lynn really does like Jess. Their mended relationship is good news.”

Great! Now perhaps when we see Jessica we’ll see a smile instead of that frown she’s always wearing.

Best of luck to the couple.
