Another day, another rumour that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are expecting a preternaturally good-looking baby (come on, with THOSE genes?). Admittedly, speculation is more intense today than usual, with ‘a friend’ telling US Weekly that a mini-Timberbiel is on the way, adding: ‘Right now they are just enjoying the news for themselves.’ (How good of that ‘friend’ to share it with the world’s press in that case, huh?)

Of course, it would make this Instagram snap posted by the couple, captioned with a quote from Ferris Bueller's Day Off: 'Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it', make so much more sense...

Thing is, we’ve been here before – such whispers have been circulating for months – and we’ve had our hopes dashed. Let’s hope it turns out to be true this time, not least so that A) their ‘friends’ can go back to, you know, other stuff than spending all of their time telling the world’s press about Justin and Jessica’s secret baby; and B) we could go back to, you know, other stuff than getting excited about the prospect of Justin and Jessica’s secret baby.

In the absence of any confirmation either way from the couple themselves, we're just going to make our own contributions to the rumour mill. Here are some other things we wish were true about JT and JB.

That they met on Tinder.
Purely to give those looking for love the belief that one day, they’ll swipe to the left, and JT’s face could appear.

That they have pet names for each other.
Schnookums, Poopsie Bear, Sugar-Britches… The cheesier, the better as far as we’re concerned.

That they’ll release a cover of Sonny and Cher’s ‘I Got You, Babe’.
To mark the birth of the aforementioned secret bub, obviously.

That they too get snarky when lost in the IKEA showroom.
No relationship, no matter how perfect, can survive a maze of Swedish flat-pack furniture.

That they have N-Sync round for karaoke nights.
Side note: can you name any N-Sync songs? We’re struggling…

That we're on the invite list for the christening.
We can make it any time, guys.

*Disclaimer: the above rumours are very probably not true. Even though we are obviously a close ‘friend’ of the couple.
