A source reported People On Thursday, Timberlake said he is “a family man and this is his goal. He took a plea deal because he wants to move forward.”
“The court case has been a distraction,” the source continued. “He doesn’t want his family to be affected by it.”

Justin married actress Jessica Biel in 2012, and the couple have two sons: Silas, nine, and Phineas, four.
While the artist will not face a drunk driving charge, his license was suspended last month, in August, for one year in New York State.
The source further added to People: “It’s not like he’s going to get away with it entirely – his license is still suspended.”
According to the source, Biel “is not happy about it. She encouraged him to accept the deal.”
Later this week, on Friday, September 13, the Selfish singer is scheduled to attend a hearing in New York.
