Biel, Timberlake spent hours on phone before their first date

WASHINGTON - American actress Jessica Biel has revealed that she spent hours talking on the phone with singer Justin Timberlake before she agreed to go on a date with him.

Biel, 27, who has been dating 28-year-old Timberlake since 2007, said she and the pop singer had been set up by a friend but wanted to get to know each other better before meeting.

“We’ve been dating a couple of years. I don’t really like to talk about it much, though,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling US TV talk show host David Letterman.

“We met through a mutual friend but we had a lot of phone conversations before meeting up so got to know each other that way. But they were PG phone calls!” she added. (ANI)
