Justin Timberlake has managed to stay out of the tabloid headlines for a good long time (since the days of double-denim with Britney Spears and Nipplegate, really), but that all changed when he was seen holding hands with actress Alisha Wainwright. Photos published by The Sun show Timberlake hanging out with Wainwright, with whom he stars in the upcoming film Palmer, on the balcony of a New Orleans bar.

The images show Wainwright, who also stars in the Netflix series Raising Dion, resting her hand across Timberlake’s leg. “At one stage he grabbed her hand and rested it on his knee. She then gently started stroking his leg,” a source told The Sun. “Then he clutched her hand with both of his and was playing with her hands.” He was also apparently seen without his wedding ring. Sources said that the 38-year-old actor had been “drinking heavily and was unsteady on his feet.”

However, according to E! News, “there is absolutely nothing going on” between the two co-stars. “They were out with all the cast, crew, makeup artists, and everyone was just hanging out in a social setting,” a source told the outlet. A rep for Wainwright also addressed rumors that questioned Timberlake’s fidelity, telling People, “There is no validity to this speculation. They are currently working on a project together. Members of the cast and crew were all together.”

Timberlake first met and began dating his wife, actress Jessica Biel, back in 2007. The two were married in 2012 and share a 4-year-old son named Silas. In October, Timberlake spoke about his relationship with Biel during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “It’s like once you find that person, it’s like a baptism, where you’re like, I can’t go back, you know what I mean?” he said. “Like, I don’t, I can’t go back, so, which is what fatherhood’s like too.”
