Justin Timberlake is not paying any mind to his PDA scandal with Palmer co-star Alisha Wainright after the two were spotted holding hands off-set of their film.

On Monday (December 16), JT, 38, took to Instagram to leave wife Jessica Biel, 37, a flirty comment on her recent post. "Need gift ideas for the yogi in your life?? I thought you might. My @gaiam gift guide is up on @amazon," Biel captioned a video of herself on a balance ball. Timberlake took the opportunity to comment on the video, leaving two heart emojis and a heart eye emoji. On Friday, he also replied to another one of her posts with the term "Squad" and a heart eye emoji.

Timberlake's comment comes weeks after he went public with a lengthy apology on Instagram. "A few weeks ago, I displayed a strong lapse of judgment — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my costar," he wrote on the social media platform in early December. "I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son. I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that. I am incredibly proud to be working on Palmer. Looking forward to continuing to make this movie and excited for people to see it."

While Wainright's rep said there was "no validity to this speculation" of romance between the two, a source told Us Weekly that Biel encouraged JT to make the public apology because she was "embarrassed" by his actions. "Jessica was very upset," the source said. "She thought it was completely inappropriate."
