Jessica Biel didn’t mean to have ‘a secret Covid baby’

(CNN)- It's not like Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake set out to keep their second child a secret.

The actress talked about the pregnancy with their now 11-month-old son Phineas during a recent appearance on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast.

Biel told Shepard she had "a secret Covid baby.""It wasn't like it was supposed to be a secret," she said. "It was just Covid happened and then I went to Montana with my family and never left."

Giving birth during a pandemic meant a lot of uncertainty, she said."The hospital restrictions had just changed," Biel recalled.

"And there was a moment there that there was nobody allowed at all and I was really getting nervous about that situation."
