Justin Timberlake's Lyme Battle, Golf Empire & Shifting Marriage Dynamics

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Justin Timberlake has just wrapped up his marathon Forget Tomorrow World Tour, but the end of this chapter came with a very personal revelation. In a heartfelt Instagram post on July 31, Timberlake announced he’s been quietly battling Lyme disease throughout the tour, describing it as “relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.” Rolling Stone reports that he experienced nerve pain, extreme fatigue, and recurring sickness onstage and even considered canceling shows altogether. Ultimately, though, Timberlake emphasized that his love of performing outweighed the stress and pain, choosing to soldier on despite several postponed dates last year due to what was then only attributed to bronchitis, laryngitis, and back pain. Candidly, he said his diagnosis was not meant to elicit sympathy, but rather to shed light on what he was enduring behind the scenes while his own performances were being roasted online for their lack of energy—his rain-soaked Electric Castle Festival set in Romania, which went viral on social media, is a prime example. TikTok users mercilessly shared clips of Timberlake phoning in his act, wearing a hooded parka and passing the mic to the crowd while a backing track handled most of the vocals.

As Timberlake’s struggles became public, the conversation around tick-borne illnesses also gained mainstream traction. His candor even prompted coverage in local health news outlets, where experts highlighted the risks and rising incidence of similar diseases, and Timberlake’s own call for greater awareness seems to be resonating well beyond his fan base.

On the business front, Timberlake remains a power player. According to coverage from The Tennessean, he’s back in Nashville as a co-developer on a new luxury golf project. The Farm Nashville, a company affiliated with Timberlake and backed by 8AM Golf, just closed a hefty deal on 112 more acres for $7.5 million. This 475-acre venture is slated to open its 18-hole Bounty Club course later this year, a potential hotspot in the city’s booming golf scene. Timberlake still co-owns the trendy Twelve Thirty Club downtown and continues investing restlessly—a strategy that’s kept his net worth comfortably soaring. According to The Rich and Famous, Timberlake’s wealth now sits anywhere between $250 and $400 million, buoyed by smart moves in music, fashion, tech investments, hospitality, and real estate.

On a more personal note, rumors swirling from outlets like RealityTea hint at a shifting dynamic at home. Jessica Biel, his wife of nearly 13 years, is said by tabloid insiders to be prioritizing her own projects and career ambitions, after years spent largely supporting Timberlake during his exhaustive tour. Sources claim Biel is proud of Justin for facing his health challenges, but she’s more focused now on her own goals, marking a new chapter in their marriage as she seeks a more equal partnership.

Social media remains abuzz with speculation and debate, especially about Timberlake’s health, his marriage, and his most recent performances. As Timberlake finds himself at a crossroads both professionally and personally, it’s clear these developments will shape his legacy long after the news cycle moves on.
