Timberlake was pictured in Cabo San Lucas last month with Biel, 41, for a fall getaway amid the fallout of the book from Spears, 41, which was released October 24. He and his family had been pictured arriving there October 30.
The Memphis, Tennessee native and his Ely, Minnesota-born spouse last month celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary, as they initially tied the knot at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Italy on October 19, 2012.
Their wedding came more than five years after they emerged publicly as a couple in January of 2007.
Before Timberlake, Biel had been linked to actors Chris Evans, Gerard Butler and Adam LaVorgna. Prior to Biel, Timberlake had been in romances with actresses Cameron Diaz, Alyssa Milano and Jenna Dewan, as well as Spears.
Spears made headlines with her revelations about her relationship with the then-NSYNC lead singer, which spanned from 1999 to 2002. She wrote in the memoir that she had an abortion after Timberlake had gotten her pregnant.
'It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn't a tragedy, Spears said in the fast-selling book. 'I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I'd anticipated.
'But Justin definitely wasn't happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren't ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.'
