"Addressing the media speculation regarding Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake's relationship, we are confirming that they mutually have decided to part ways. The two remain friends and continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other."
And that's that.

A source, who is reportedly a "friend" of the couple, spilled to Us Magazine that the couple, who have been dating for about two years, have split.
The source said Timberlake broke up with Biel over the phone about a month ago, and added that Biel is in denial about the break-up and refuses to accept the relationship is over.
Another spy told the mag:
"There's no way of knowing if it's a firm breakup, because with them it's so hot and cold."
However, sources tell People Magazine that the rumors are not true and the pair are still together, citing the two were together on Monday evening in Northern California.
An insider told People:
"They're together. They're not breaking up. Any time they spend time apart it's because they're working."
However, according to another spy, Justin and Jess are said to be going through a "rough patch":
"Things have been a bit up in the air recently. They've been spending more time apart - more time with each of their friends, and they've been reevaluating (their relationship)."
On September 22, Biel attended a wrap party in Los Angeles for the film, Valentine's Day, sans Justin, while on September 25, Timberlake partied at Crown Bar in West Hollywood with best friend Trace Ayala.
Added the source:
"Jessica has felt like they haven't been on the same page - haven't had the same priorities."
Rumor has it that Justin Timberlake's main squeeze, Jessica Biel, and actor Sharlto Copley, are in final negotiations to join the 80's action movie remake, The A-Team.
Sharlto has reportedly been sized up to play Mad Murdock in the film, while Biel is said to be considered as an ex-love interest of Templeton 'Faceman' Peck, who will be played by Bradley Cooper.
Those in the know say Liam Neeson has been snagged to play A-Team leader John Hannibal Smith, while mixed martial arts superstar Quinton Jackson is slated to play Mr. T's role as that of B.A. Baracus.
