An elusive social media personality going by Iris claims to be Justin Timberlake's daughter, and TikTok is convinced she's real.

The rumor began circulating online in 2023, when a woman said she was the NSYNC member's secret child. The Instagram account belonging to "Iris," @axolotl_3000, has been spamming photos and tagging Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, since 2022 and claiming to be his daughter.

She alleges that her mother, unnamed, is a gold digger and that she accepted "hush money" from Timberlake to keep his child a secret.

On March 14, 2024, Iris shared an image of what appears to be a birth certificate on Instagram. Her name and "Justin Randall Timberlake" are listed on the document. "For those asking...here is my birth certificate," she captioned the photo.

Iris insists that the media is silent on her rumored family affairs, stating, "My dad has [a] gag order for media outlets on me." In other posts, the Instagram account alleges that she was forced to have an abortion when she was 14 and that her father threatened her if she told anyone about it.

In October of last year, Timberlake came under fire after his ex, Britney Spears, revealed that she had an abortion because Timberlake was unsure about being a father. The "Toxic" singer says she would have kept the baby if it were her choice alone.

On May 20, 2024, Iris claimed when she was around 2 or 3, her dad would rub his finger up and down her private area.

The Instagram page is full of spam, and while Iris doesn't post current images of herself, you can still find her old photos if you scroll down far enough.

Iris's allegations against Timberlake have gone so viral that people have taken to TikTok to comment on the rumors.

Does Justin Timberlake Have a Daughter?

However, Iris might be lying after all. According to some internet sleuths, the selfies that Iris uses and claims to be hers are of a woman named Katana Grace, a model, actress, and DJ who lives in LA. Apparently, she is from Ukraine and likely has no idea her content is being used for this scam.

So, no, there is no proof that Timberlake has a secret daughter, and it is unknown who runs the Instagram account for "Iris." But Timberlake does share two sons with Biel: Silas, 9, and Phineas, 3.
