Jessica Biel Changes Name Ahead of Justin Timberlake Wedding Anniversary

Jessica Biel recently took her husband Justin Timberlake's last name, just weeks ahead of the couple's first wedding anniversary.

In 2012 the actress, 31, revealed that she would legally change her last name to Timberlake however she will reportedly keep her maiden name professionally. The couple wed in October 2012 after five years of on-and-off dating.

"It's all official!" a source told Life & Style magazine. "The paperwork is done and she's now legally Jessica Timberlake."

In an interview with People magazine Jessica expressed her excitement about adopting Justin's last name.

"Yes, I'm changing my name," Jessica told People. "My professional name will still be the same, but for life, yes, I think it sounds great! I think I really won the jackpot of names."

The Hollywood couple exchanged "I Dos" before approximately 100 family members and friends in southern Italy in 2012, almost one year after Justin, 32, popped the question. Wedding guests reportedly included renowned music producer Timbaland, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Biel's "7th Heaven" co-star Beverley Mitchell.

Jessica previously opened up about married life admitting that little has changed for both her and her Grammy award-winning singer husband.

"It's weird because it's feels like almost nothing has changed," she said about married life. "But yet something that you really can't describe — or something that isn't really tangible — has changed."
Justin, who proposed to the actress while vacationing in Jackson, Wyo., in December 2011, also opened up about married life.

"Every once in a while I can catch a glimpse of her when she doesn't see me looking and I have this moment where I'm like if you never make a good decision…if you only make bad decisions for the rest of your life, you made one really good decision," Justin said. "Because she's just like…it's nice to marry your friend. It's nice to marry your best friend. It suits me."
