Jessica Biel ran into her ex boyfriend at a friend’s wedding recently and she hung out with him all night. People say they were holding hands, kissing, and looking cosy. The two even left the party together for destinations unknown. Just Timberlake was off touring in Europe at the time.
While Justin was busy playing concerts in Europe, Jessica, 25 and Chris [Evans, who she dated for five years until last summer]… rekindled some old flames of attraction.
“Sparks were flying,” says an eyewitness who saw the two at a friend’s wedding reception held at Arnoldi’s Cafe in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday, July 7. “It looked as if they were completely absorbed with one another.
“From what I could see, Jessica hardly left Chris’ side. They were holding hands and cuddling all night – even trading little kisses!
“They sat together and even walked to the bathroom together. Everyone was shocked because we thought she was dating Justin. But it didn’t look like she was thinking about him that night – she was consumed with Chris…”
“They seemed to be flirting and acting real cozy,” adds another eyewitness. “The wedding party took place outside in the bank area, and a couple of people inside the restaurant kept trying to get a peek at Jessica. They were wondering who she was with and why Justin wasn’t her date…”
A rep for Evans says they are “just friends,” but a source who saw the two says “you can tell she and Chris were close and had history together. Toward the end of the night I overheard Chris say, ‘Come on, let’s get out of here,’ and then they left together. He was really adamant – like he was really in a hurry to go and take her with him.”

The article goes on to say that Jessica and Chris played lovers in the (B) films Cellular in 2004 and London in 2005. I bet Star’s source is someone checking out the paparazzi pictures, but if these two were holding hands that does seem suspicious.
Jessica and Justin have been seen out together a few times, and she joined him on but they haven’t yet attended a public event together. Back in mid June Justin referred to Jessica as his “very dear friend” in an interview, so maybe she figured he wouldn’t mind if she stayed very dear friends with one of her exes, too. The wedding where Jessica was reunited with her ex came after she joined Justin Timberlake in Norway while he was touring at the end of June.
They’re probably still together, though, Jessica was seen handing out with Justin’s mother, and Hollyscoop reports that she was seen leaving his house this Tuesday morning. Biel also made a reference to the fact that she’s not really into getting married right now, she was quoted by ContactMusic as saying “What’s weird is: You’re single for 20 or 30 years, and you’re married for like 70. It doesn’t seem like a good ratio, does it?”
Why is that every woman who dates Justin Timberlake feels the need to publicly declare that they’re not the marrying type? He’s such a commitment-phobe.

That guy Chris Evans is also in the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer movie as Johnny Storm, and has three movies coming up next year, according to IMDB. I couldn’t figure out if he has been linked to anyone else since Biel, and to me he looks like a better catch than Timberlake, but I really dislike that guy.
Here’s Evans with Jessica Alba promoting The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
