Janet Lynn Bomar Harless is a businesswoman, movie producer, and actress from the United States. She is well-known as the famous musician Justin Timberlake’s mother.

Personal Life
Lynn Bomar Harless’ husband, Paul Harless, and stepfather of Timberlake has been struggling with dementia for over ten years. While speaking with TODAY.com, Harless expressed her feelings about her husband’s dementia.
“I try to push my grief down every day while I’m here walking through it and missing the intimacy of just a conversation or a touch. People don’t know how to act around Paul. They keep their distance, and it makes the loneliness so dark and if possible, even more sad.”
She discussed what it’s like to look after a partner suffering from dementia. She said,
“You take all the little moments that you can get.”
Lynn added,
“He knows everything that’s going on around him. He just doesn’t speak anymore very often,” she added. “I want to take every opportunity and make the most of every day.”
She continued,
“Show up and be there. Makes all the difference.”
Lynn Bomar Harless’ son, Justin Timberlake, and actress Jessica Biel started a romantic relationship in January 2007.
After dating for four years, they got engaged in December 2011 and tied the knot on October 19, 2012, at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Fasano, Italy. Their first child, a son, was born in April 2015. In July 2020, they welcomed their second son.
