Justin Timberlake Jessica Biel Baby Born: Find Out Jessica Biel’s Baby Boy’s Name! [PHOTOS]

For months on end, the world has been eagerly waiting for the birth of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's first child, even before the couple made the pregnancy official when the pop star and actor posted an adorable picture of himself listening to his wife's pregnant belly earlier this year.

Food World News has reported the close watch the press has had over Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's baby, ever since the first rumors came out last fall when the "7th Heaven" star was spotted wearing loose clothing around her usually fit physique; later, Justin surprised her as she was shooting a movie in New Orleans - and then Jessica was spotted in late March walking around the beach in Los Angeles just about ready to pop!

Now, CNN has confirmed that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's baby, a little boy who has been named after some of Timberlake's relatives and even his own middle name.

In a recent statement to People Magazine, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's reps stated that their baby's name was Silas Randall: the statement read that Silas comes from the middle name of Justin's maternal grandfather, Bill Bomar, who passed away three years ago; in the meantime, Randall is Timberlake's middle name and the first name of his father.

Repeating names after the parents' family is a long-standing southern tradition, and the former 'NSync band member is a Tennessee native.

In the past few months, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have showed each other all kinds of love, particularly from the "Mirrors" singer: a few weeks back he posted a sweet Instagram photo of the two of them for her birthday, saying she made him "smile 'til it hurts," and he recently also teared up talking about his wife and their child during the Innovator Prize a the iHeartMusic Awards.

The couple waited until the birth of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's child to know whether it was a boy or a girl, wishing to be surprised. Congratulations for the new addition to their family!
