Timberlake in no rush to marry Biel

Justin Timberlake's former 'N Sync bandmate Joey Fatone has revealed that he does not expect the star to marry Jessica Biel any time soon.

The singer has been dating Biel since January 2007 and is believed to be taking their romance much more seriously than his previous relationships. However, despite this, they appear to be in no hurry to take the partnership further.

Asked about the possibility of an engagement, Fatone explained: "I think he finally met somebody that he wants to spend the rest of his life [with]. You never know, but I don't know if it's the appropriate time right now. You know what, I think he is just playing it by ear. If it ain't broke don't fix it."

Biel herself has also recently ruled out tying the knot in the immediate future. Speaking to Us Weekly, 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.'"

In July, Timberlake's grandmother admitted that she was keen to see the pair get engaged. "I just want them to be happy," she said at the time.
