Justin is said to have ‘done everything he can’ to smooth things over with his spouse in the time since his June 18 arrest, an insider close to the family told People.
But it appears Jessica is still making Justin redeem himself as she attended the star-studded event on her own.

Both have been busy with their careers amid the tumultuous timeframe, Justin is continuing with his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, while Jessica has been doing ‘back-to-back’ projects such as The Better Sister on Amazon.

But it appears Jessica is still making Justin redeem himself as she attended the star-studded event on her own
Justin Timberlake, 43, has been working to redeem himself with wife Jessica Biel, 42, nearly three months after he was arrested in connection with DWI
Justin placed his hand on his chest and told Jessica: ‘I love you, baby.’
Jessica reposted a clip of the romantic exchange on Instagram Stories that read: ‘Wouldn’t want to spend it anywhere else.’
As part of his plea deal, Justin urged drivers not to get behind the wheel of a car after even a single alcoholic drink, shortly after pleading guilty.
The public safety announcement in front of the Sag Harbor Police Department on September 13 was a component of the plea deal that knocked down the misdemeanor charge he´d faced to a non-criminal traffic violation.
Justin was also sentenced to a $500 fine with a $260 surcharge, 25 hours of community service at the nonprofit of his choosing and a 90-day suspension of his license.
‘I try to hold myself to a very high standard, for myself, and this was not that,’ Justin told the news media and other onlookers after the hearing in the adjacent Sag Harbor Village Court.
‘Even if you´ve had one drink, don´t get behind the wheel of a car,’ he said. ‘There´s so many alternatives. Call a friend. Take an Uber. There´s many travel apps. Still, take a taxi. This is a mistake that I made, but I’m hoping that whoever is watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake. I know that I certainly have.’
The NSYNC star made similar comments during the court hearing and said he grew up in a small town and appreciated the kind of strain his arrest has made on a community like Sag Harbor.

Justin was arrested there a little after midnight on June 18 after police said he ran a stop sign in the village center, veered out of his lane and got out of his BMW smelling of alcohol.
Police said Justin told the officer he had had one martini and was following some friends home.
He originally pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated.
Justin told the court he’s had a lot of time to reflect on his actions and was ‘grateful for the opportunity to move forward’ and use his platform to hopefully help others make ‘better decisions.’
‘I should have had better judgment,’ he said to the judge. ‘I understand the seriousness of this.’
Judge Carl Irace said he did not oppose reducing the charge Timberlake faced since he was a first time offender and thanked him for speaking sincerely and ‘from the heart.’
But he questioned the appropriateness of the proposed sentence, dismissing the public announcement Justin intended to make shortly after the court proceedings as ‘unsatisfactory.’
Irace said imposing an additional requirement of community service would give the singer more time to reflect on his actions: ‘My experience is that these conditions can prove helpful and even gratifying for the accused.’
