Justin Timberlake Shares Photo of NSync Reunion at JC Chasez’s 40th Birthday Party

NSync is “Tearin’ Up My Heart” because they’ve reunited, but there’s no new music to show for it.

All five of the boy-banders were back together on Monday night to celebrate JC Chasez’s 40th birthday. (Yes, JC Chasez is 40. Feel old much?)

Justin Timberlake, the youngest of the group at 35, shared a photo from the bash. The birthday boy was front and center, and a bearded Chris Kirkpatrick, 44, had his arm around him. Timberlake, rocking a straw hat, and the future hot dog king of Orlando, Joey Fatone, 39, were on Chasez’s other side. Lance Bass, 37, was drifting off in the background — as he is made to do sometimes.

It would have been better had they recreated the No Strings Attached pose, but we can’t have everything we want.

Just the fact that all five members of the ’90s group were together in the frame was a big deal — those instances are few and far between. In recent years, Timberlake missed Bass’s wedding, which took place in 2015, and when Timberlake married Jessica Biel in 2012, none of his bandmates were invited because a reunion may have overshadowed the nuptials.

All five of the guys were together at Kirkpatrick’s wedding in 2013, however, and that was the same year they reunited (for 90 seconds!) at the MTV Video Music Awards, at which breakout star Timberlake was given the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and the rest of the group joined him onstage briefly.

There will be another really big reunion in 2017 — when NSync gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So basically last night was just practice for that.
