Jessica Biel couldn't be more excited and proud of her upcoming matrimonial milestone.

Ten years after tying the knot, the actor said she and her husband Justin Timberlake are still as in love as ever. While promoting her new Hulu miniseries Candy, Biel told Access Hollywood of their approaching anniversary, “I sometimes feel like 10 years has just flown by in the blink of an eye and other times I feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, 10 years, that’s a really substantial amount of someone’s life.’ I just feel really proud of it.” 

But that doesn't mean their relationship has always been picture perfect, "We’ve had our ups and down like everybody," she added. "I’m just really proud of it and I’m still the happiest and loving my life.” Biel and Timberlake got married in October 2012 in a lavish ceremony held in Puglia, Italy. They've since welcomed two children together, Silas, 7, and Phineas, 2.

Part of the reason their relationship is so strong might be because of their ability to laugh with, and at, one another. Most recently, the couple found themselves in stitches over the wig Biel had to wear for her new show (where she plays housewife turned axe murderer Candy Montgomery)—a blonde, curly mop that bears a striking resemblance to Timberlake's hair back during the early days of *NSYNC. “We laughed about it because it looked like the early days of those beautiful curls,” Biel told ET. “Let's get serious, he had beautiful curls. And his mom now actually has, like, current, really cool hipster, short, curly hair. It's weird, it kind of resembles both of them at the same time.”
