Jessica Biel’s recent outing with her son sparked questions about genetics, as many were surprised by how different he looks from his parents. Since Biel and Justin Timberlake keep their kids out of the spotlight, fans were quick to comment on the child’s appearance, with some even doubting if he’s really their son.
Jessica Biel went to the U.S. Open with her nine-year-old son, Silas. The actress, known for her role in The Sinner, spent the day at the tournament with her son, whom she shares with her husband of twelve years, Justin Timberlake. Their trip to the second round of the championship in New York City was a wonderful chance for mother and son to enjoy some quality time together.
For the occasion, Biel dazzled in a cream-colored pantsuit, paired with a classic white T-shirt. The 42-year-old actress styled her short hair in sleek, straight lines and complemented her outfit with a tennis-themed necklace.
Silas, on the other hand, appeared quite grown-up in gray joggers and a blue-and-green-striped rugby polo. The mother-son pair seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. At one point, Biel excitedly pointed out something to her 9-year-old, prompting him to stand up in his seat for a better view.

While people were glad to see Biel’s rare public appearance with her son, some rushed to comment that he doesn’t look like his parents. “Who is the father, Jessica?” one follower asked. “He looks like neither parent,” another user agreed. “Wow, he doesn’t look like his father at all,” a third follower commented.
However, many people found these comments ridiculous. “These comments are why parents hide their children from the public,” one person wrote. “He is a carbon copy of his mama,” another follower commented. “He looks just like her, adorable,” another user agreed.
One person wrote, “I never would have guessed that was their son and honestly it doesn’t matter there is a picture of him on here cuz no one will remember that’s their kid. He looks nothing like either of them…” Someone even added, “Theory: they hired a random actor kid to play Silas to continue to respect his privacy while still giving a distraction for Justin.”
Jessica Biel doesn’t share her private life on Instagram, but she posts stories from her life. Recently, she opened up about her experience with her first period.
