Jessica Biel: 'Marrying won't change anything'

Actress Jessica Biel is convinced her life will remain the same once she weds fiance Justin Timberlake, insisting marriage will not "change anything".

SexyBack hitmaker Timberlake proposed to The A-Team star in December (11), and she is now opening up about their engagement for the first time to French magazine Gala.

In the interview, Biel admits she's "ready" to become Mrs. Justin Timberlake and she's excited for their future together.

She says, "I don't think our marriage will change anything. It's just a challenge to balance privacy, family, and work, but I'm ready.

"For me, getting married does not mean we should be limited to a predefined plan. Rather, it's an opening to explore new things in life."

One skill Biel will be hoping to improve on is her cooking because "in general, it's a total disaster".

She adds, "But I've also had some pleasant surprises, like recently when I managed to make zucchini fritters."

The fiercely-private couple celebrated its engagement with a lavish party in California on Saturday (26May12) ahead of a rumoured wedding later this year (12).
