Justin Timberlake to wed Jessica Biel?

Justin Timberlake is reportedly preparing to propose to Jessica Biel amid rumours that the 26-year-old actress is pregnant.

The Sun reports that 27-year-old Timberlake is ready to settle down with Biel, whom he began dating just over a year ago.

The Hollywood actress has sparked rumours in some quarters that she is pregnant after a source close to the couple revealed that she has been avoiding alcoholic drinks.

A source told the newspaper: "Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids. For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica.

"He is so happy with her. They spent quite a bit of time apart recently when Justin was working with Madonna. That made him certain Jessica was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with."

According to The Sun, Timberlake is considering the West Indian island of Mustique for the pair's wedding.

The island is privately owned, meaning that paparazzi would be unable to take photos of the couple and their guests.

The source told the newspaper: "Although Justin has lived his whole life in the public eye, he feels his wedding is the one day that should remain private. To get all his close friends and family to Mustique will cost a fortune. But he can't put a price on how he feels about Jessica."
