It’s pretty clear that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are made for each other — they’re both obsessed and it’s totally adorable.

In an interview with Marie Claire, the actress opened up about why their marriage works:

“We have similar values; we believe in loyalty, honesty,” she said. “We like to have fun. We like a lot of the same things. Also, in the business, we’re all very career-oriented, and you have to be a little selfish. I understand that about my peers — about being focused and driven — and if you can find that and someone who shares the same values as you, it’s like: Score!”

She continued: “My Hollywood experience as a young person was never one of those True Hollywood stories where I was left alone to my own devices with no parental supervision. There was always somebody with me.”

On motherhood: “These little people come around, and they require so much, and your schedule is really not your own, nor is it important anymore, and it’s very clear that it’s your life now revolving around this dude. I’m not that person who feels like, ‘Oh, my whole life changes for my kid,’ but it does.”
