No, Jessica Biel isn't pregnant... she just "has a gut"

Hold off on the congratulations... Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel aren't expecting a baby brother or sister for their 11-month-old son Silas just yet.

Rumors started circulating earlier this month that the actress and restaurateur was pregnant again - maybe even with twins.

"They like the idea of having their kids close in age so that they can go to the same schools together," one "friend" revealed to the tabloids. "They are both ecstatic about becoming new parents again and are already talking about baby names."

However, Jessica revealed this week during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that the speculation actually has no basis in reality. For the record, she isn't pregnant.

“I don’t even know what to say about these things,” the 34-year-old actress admitted. “I feel like, ‘Man, I thought I was doing good with my yoga practice.’ I thought I was in the gym, but no. I have a gut apparently.”

Jessica joked that when she heard the baby news she called her husband - just to make sure she hadn't missed the memo.

"I called Justin. I was like, ‘Are we [having another baby?] No? Oh, okay. Cool,' He usually knows more that I do about everything."

The perks of fame are plentiful, but I think I'd find the constant pregnancy speculation pretty hard to handle. It must be a blow to your self-confidence to have tabloid covers circling your "baby bump" in red ink every time you eat an extra taco at lunch!

I think my favorite celebrity response to tabloid "baby watch" came from Jessica's friend Jennifer Garner, who publicly embraced her "forever bump."

“Hold up, hold right up,” the mom-of-three declared in 2014. “I am not pregnant, but I have had three kids and there is a bump! From now on, ladies, I will have a bump. And it will be my baby bump. And let’s just all settle in and get used to it. It’s not going anywhere. I have a bump, its name is Violet, Sam, Sera.”

Love it!
