Jessica Biel and Justin Tinberlake

The rumor count is two to one in saying that actress Jessica Biel and musician/actor Justin Timberlake are having problems in their relationship. One friend of Biel reports, “Things are not going as smoothly as they would want people to think they are.”

One of Timberlake’s friends has said, “I can always sense when Justin is beginning to get itchy in a relationship.”

The itchiness is apparently perceived as similar to that leading up to the breakup between Timberlake and Cameron Diaz, and Timberlake and Britney Spears. Both sources report that Timberlake believes Biel to be a little “too controlling.”

However, a friend of the couple denies the rumors: “I know they are both very good actors, but I truly think their feelings for each other haven’t changed.”

The couple recently bought a flat in New York together. Timberlake, 28, and Biel, 27, have been a couple for about two years.
