Jessica Biel has revealed that she doesn't plan to get married.

The Illusionist actress, recently rumoured to be tying the knot with boyfriend Justin Timberlake, told Harper's Bazaar that marriage wasn't on her mind.

She said: "The actual idea of signing those papers and doing all this stuff... I've never been someone who's like, 'I have to, have to, have to have it.'

"But the idea of being with somebody I care about, who is my soul mate, that sounds groovy!"

Biel added that she hoped to one day have a family and a successful career.

"If I choose to have a family, I would hope to create a balance, because I don't want to lose my sense of identity, my career, and my independence," she explained. "Why can't I have both? Why can't I have everything? So many women do it."
