Looks like Christmas came early for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel this year, because a good friend of the couple finally let the cat out of the bag - they're having a baby!

According to In Touch Magazine, former 'NSYNC member, Joey Fatone (who knew about it for months) spilled the beans, saying, "He [Justin] told me a while ago, and I kept my mouth shut. But now I can talk about it!"

He's not worried about the couple raising a baby, though, because Joey knows that they will definitely be good parents. He told the magazine, "Jessica is awesome, and Justin is a kid at heart. [They'll have] fun."

Hollywood Life noted that Justin and Jessica have not yet confirmed the news, however, they haven't exactly been hiding it, either. The website noted that Jessica was spotted last December 14 dancing in Brooklyn, at Justin's concert at Barclays Center, wearing a gray jumpsuit and a black tank top, with the baby bump obviously there.

However, according to Yahoo! News, Justin's former bandmate was not the first one to spill the news. Jessica's friend, In Style editor Ariel Foxman took his congratulations on Twitter when he said, "Congrats @jessicabiel on your impending motherhood ... Looking forward to the red carpet maternity style pix to come #tbt." The photo was only up for a few moments before it was deleted.

The Daily Mail noted that just last year, Justin was not in a hurry to become a dad when he said, "I'm not against the idea [of parenthood] at all, but I think I still have some time ahead of me. Let's leave it to fate. Life didn't change overnight. Marriage, family - it's all part of the normal steps you take when you reach your thirties."

Jessica also said the same thing in December last year when she told People Magazine that she definitely wanted to be a mom at some point, but does not know whether it will be sooner or later. At this stage, it seems like they went for 'sooner.'

Jessica also already has maternal instincts to guide her, she told the magazine that "Every woman has some kind of intuition of how they'd interact with a child," also noting that she's comfortable being around children.

Yahoo! noted that Justin and Jessica have dated on and off for five years before finally tying the knot in 2012. Do you think it's about time they finally have a baby, or would they have done better if they put off family for a little while longer?
