Justin Timberlake gave a shout out to both of the father figures in his life – dad Charles Randall Timberlake and stepdad Paul Harless – in a heartwarming tribute he shared on Father’s Day.
In an epic throwback, the 44-year-old pop star Instastoried a snap of himself decked out in Star Search-era Western wear while posing with the Baptist church choir director, who divorced his mother Janet Harless in 1985.
One year later, Janet wed Paul, so Justin made sure to post a snap of his stepdad with his 10-year-old son Silas in the tribute.
Timberlake shared a third snap of one of his dads playing golf with what appeared to be his four-year-old son Phineas.
The 10-time Grammy winner also posted a rare Instagram slideshow of himself embracing little Silas and Phineas.
‘There’s no bigger reward or responsibility that I have ever felt in my life above being a father. To teach and to learn at the same time… I feel beyond blessed,’ Justin – who boasts 193.8M social media followers – gushed on Sunday.

‘I see my two dads, my grandfathers, [and] my uncles more and more clearly every year that I get to experience this life with them. And I see myself more and more clearly in every moment I have with my sons, watching who they continue to become.
‘You can’t put a price tag on that type of generational wealth! Here’s to all the Dads out there! Cheers! Happy Father’s Day!’
Timberlake’s wife of 12 years – Jessica Biel – reposted his slideshow with the caption: ‘Happy Father’s Day to the best dad out there. We love you so much!’
The 43-year-old Better Sister actress also Instastoried a snap of herself with the No Angels singer and their son Phineas captioned: ‘Celebrating you today and every day!’
Last month, Jessica said she planned on ‘taking the kids’ so he ‘can just go have a great’ Father’s Day and, considering Justin was in Denmark on Saturday, he’s definitely in Europe.
‘Justin loves to golf, so I hope he gets to golf that day,’ Biel told E! News.
‘And of course it’s fun to spend time with your kids, but from everything I know about Mother’s Day where you just really need a break and want a solo break, I will take the kids.’
Timberlake – who gets 44.5M monthly listeners on Spotify – is next scheduled to bring his $205.2M-grossing, 122-date The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to Poland’s PGE Narodowy in Warsaw this Tuesday.
Also celebrating Father’s Day was Gigi Hadid, who did not mention her babydaddy Zayn Malik but she Instastoried a childhood throwback snap with her ‘baba’ Mohamed Hadid.
The 30-year-old IMG Model also posted snaps of her Palestinian grandfather Anwar Hadid, who died in 1989, as well as her Dutch ‘opa’ Gerard van den Herik, who died in a car accident when her mother Yolanda was only seven.

Emma Heming Willis posted a snap of her 11-year-old daughter Evelyn embracing her husband Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023.
‘Happy Father’s Day to all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them,’ the 46-year-old Make Time podcaster wrote on Sunday.
‘What Bruce teaches our girls goes far beyond words. Resilience, unconditional love, and the quiet strength in simply being present. This photo says so much. Love deepens. It adapts. It stays, even when everything else changes.
‘But to be fair to myself, these symbolic days stir up a lot. I’m profoundly sad today. I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family.’
The retired 70-year-old and Emma – who are also proud parents of 13-year-old daughter Mabel – began dating in 2008 and they celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary on March 27.
Bruce welcomed three adult daughters – Rumer, 36; Scout, 33; and Tallulah, 31 – during his 11-year marriage to Oscar nominee Demi Moore, which ended in 2000.
On September 9, Maria Shriver’s imprint, The Open Field will publish Heming’s ‘deeply personal’ literary debut, The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope and Yourself on the Caregiving Path.
