Being a working mom in Hollywood isn’t easy, but having a supportive husband like Justin Timberlake can make it worthwhile.

Jessica Biel opened up recently about how being a mom and wife helps rid herself of the dark funk she lives in at work, playing a dark character in the crime anthology series The Sinner. 

“I’ve never had too much trouble letting work stay at work and honestly, you don’t really have the choice,” the 35-year old said to Entertainment Tonight. “You have to get home. Someone needs dinner, someone needs to get their pajamas on, then get in the bath, then get into bed and you can’t be smoldering in the corner like, ‘Oh, this scene I did!’ No time for it! Make dinner, get him to bed, you know?”

As for Justin: “He’s been such a huge supporter of this all along. He knows how much the material is interesting to me and what a great opportunity this is for me to do something really different. He’s really able to watch the show for what it is and not get too bogged down by the fact that he’s seeing me in a very different light. I think he’s just seeing it for its creativity and what fun we’re all having as we’re doing it.”
