Ever since rumors started swirling about Justin Timberlake proposing to his longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel, we have been waiting for confirmation from the couple.

Well we have finally received that confirmation, but it doesn’t come from either The Social Network star or the New Year’s Eve star. Rather, it comes from Timberlake’s grandma!

Although he had asked her not to talk about the engagement “until after the holidays,” Sadie Bomar told Gossip Cop, “He called me on Christmas Day and told me he’s engaged.”

If there’s any question about whether or not Biel will be welcomed into the family with open arms, Bomar assures “the family loves Jessie… she’s a very sweet girl.”

Sources told Us Weekly that Timberlake, 30, popped the question to Biel, 29, during their annual vacation to Jackson, Wyoming.

They were first linked in 2007, but broke up for a few months in 2011. When they got back together, sources say “they had a conversation about taking the next step.”

During the time they split, it was evident they still had love for each other, as Timberlake told Vanity Fair “She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life. In my 30 years, she is the most special person, okay? … I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me – for instance, her.”

Jessica Biel now has “the power” in her relationship with Justin Timberlake.

The stunning actress rekindled her romance with the ‘In Time’ star earlier this year after a brief split and now friends say she has the upper hand and he would even consider marriage if that’s what she wants.

One told Us Weekly magazine: “Justin thinks marriage would hurt his career, but if Jessica threatened to leave, he’d do it. She now has the power in the relationship.”

However, Justin, 30, may not to have to worry about getting married just yet as Jessica, 29, recently revealed she is in no hurry to settle down.

When asked if she would like to get married and have children, the brunette beauty replied: “Sure, of course. And, yeah, I think probably at some point it would be something I’m interested in. But I don’t feel pressured.

“I was never one of those girls who dreamt of my wedding and my Prince Charming. To p**s off my mom, I used to say, ‘I’m never having kids, and I’m going to be a fabulously rich old maid living in a house with cute butlers and dogs.’ ”

Jessica Biel has said that she would have loved to star in The Notebook.

The actress revealed that she auditioned several times to play The Notebook‘s lead character Allie Hamilton, a wealthy young woman who falls for a boy (Ryan Gosling) from the wrong side of the tracks.

Biel recalled that getting passed over by The Notebook by director Nick Cassavetes was especially tough because she truly loved the story of star-crossed lovers.

She told Elle: “The Notebook – that’s one that I wanted so badly. I was in the middle of shooting Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and I auditioned with Ryan Gosling in my trailer – covered in blood. Nick Cassavetes put me through the wringer in an interesting, excitingly creative way. But there’s a million that get away.”

Rachel McAdams went on to land the starring role in The Notebook, earning critical acclaim and award nominations for her performance.

Biel also explained that she’s hoping to explore other interests besides acting as she gets older.

“I’d love to write. I wrote a lot of short stories and poetry when I was a kid,” the star said. “That was my creative outlet. I’ve written a short film, and I [still] write poetry.”

Biel next stars opposite Josh Duhamel and Ashton Kutcher in New Year’s Eve, which opens on December 9 in the US and the UK.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have been spotted getting cozy a lot lately, but the actress won’t confirm their relationship status.

“A girl doesn’t kiss and tell,” Biel says in the December issue of Elle.

But Biel, 29, does admit that she has a habit of dating actors.

“I think [actors] are the people you meet and so it just kind of happens,” she explains. “Let me tell you: It never happens on purpose.”

While it’s uncertain what the future holds for Biel and Timberlake, who split in May, the actress does plan on having kids.

“I think probably at some point it would be something I’m interested in. But I don’t feel pressured,” Biel admits. “I was never one of those girls who dreamt of my wedding and my Prince Charming.”

“To piss off my mom, I used to say, ‘I’m never having kids, and I’m going to be a fabulously rich old maid living in a house with cute butlers and dogs.’ ”

While it’s hard to imagine the stunning actress as an old maid, even Biel gets rejected from time to time.

When asked about the role that got away, she reveals she wanted to land the lead in The Notebook “so badly.”

“I was in the middle of shooting Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and I auditioned with Ryan Gosling in my trailer – covered in blood,” she adds. “But there’s a million that get away. We’re gluttons for punishment. It’s just rejection.”
