Timberlake Family Walks Denver Runway for Down Syndrome Research

Justin Timberlake, 45, brought his family to the catwalk on Saturday, November 7, joining sons Silas, 11, and Phineas, 6, along with niece Zaya Biel, 7, at the GLOBAL Down Syndrome Foundation's 19th annual fashion show in Denver. The appearance placed three generations of the family at the center of one of the foundation's signature charity events.

Photographs from the event show Silas, whom Timberlake shares with wife Jessica Biel, holding hands with Zaya, who serves as a global ambassador for the foundation. Timberlake, dressed in a black suit, held Zaya's other hand and Phineas's arm while smiling toward the crowd as the group walked together.

The foundation said in a statement shared with Us on Sunday, November 8, that Biel, 44, could not attend the annual "Be Beautiful Be Yourself" fundraiser because of work commitments. The event raised more than $2.7 million to support critical research.

Several celebrity guests celebrated the family's presence, including Beverley Mitchell, Biel's former 7th Heaven costar, who attended "in support of the Biel family." Timberlake also posed on the red carpet with Zaya and her parents, Rose and Justin Biel. Rose, 45, is married to Justin, 41, who is Jessica's younger brother.

In a statement issued through the foundation, Timberlake said, "Jessica and I adore Zaya, and we couldn't be prouder of the remarkable difference she is making in the world. Every person with Down syndrome deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and that's why GLOBAL's work means so much to our family."

The Denver appearance follows other recent family outings. Zaya accompanied the singer last month when the family supported Jessica at the New York City premiere of Matchbox: The Movie, an Apple TV+ film in which Silas makes a small non-speaking appearance. At that premiere, Timberlake was photographed holding Zaya's hand as the group moved through the red carpet.

The fashion show, now in its 19th year, remains a central fundraising vehicle for the GLOBAL Down Syndrome Foundation, and the more than $2.7 million raised on Saturday will support critical research. For Denver, the event brought national attention to the foundation's mission while highlighting Zaya's role as a global ambassador.
