AceShowbiz - Internet was sent into frenzy over pictures of Justin Timberlake getting cozy with his co-star Alisha Wainwright during a night out. They were seen drinking on a balcony of The Absinthe House on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. They were allegedly alone for around 40 minutes before going inside.

In one of the paparazzi pictures obtained by The Sun, Alisha comfortably placed her hand on Justin's thigh. In another photo from the same source, the husband of Jessica Biel was holding Alisha's hand on his knee. His wedding ring was noticeably absent from his finger.

"They were smiling and laughing," an onlooker said. "At one stage he grabbed her hand and rested it on his knee. She then gently started stroking his leg. Then he clutched her hand with both of his and was playing with her hands."

He wore a baseball cap, a jacket and ripped jeans while she donned a turtle-neck sleeveless dress. They reportedly enjoyed a night out with a small group while on a break from filming their movie "Palmer". They reportedly left via the back door around midnight.

Justin Timberlake began dating Jessice Biel in 2007. They got engaged in 2011 and tied the knot in 2012 in Italy. They welcomed their first child, a son named Silas Randall, in 2015.

The couple was last seen photographed together on Halloween when she dressed up as his younger self during his NSYNC heyday while he played along pretending to be her microphone. The couple even brought an entourage of guys to act as his bandmates JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass.

Alisha Wainwright, 30, is best known for her role on Netflix's superhero sci-fi series "Raising Dion" where she shares screen with Michael B. Jordan. She previously starred on Freeform's supernatural drama series "Shadowhunters".
