The 31-year-old actress married Justin Timberlake just over a year ago and came under fire for not escorting her musical husband to Sunday's awards show in Los Angeles.
It did not take long for online critics to speculate over Biel and Timberlake's marriage.

"I'm watching from home tonight," Biel posted to Twitter. "Calm down, Internet."
The Hollywood couple began dating in 2007 and after a brief split in 2011, the couple married during a lavish ceremony in Puglia, Italy in October of 2012.
Timberlake was one of the evening's biggest winners. In addition to performing, the "Mirror" singer took home three awards-- Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist, Favorite Soul/R&B Album and Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist.
However, Timberlake did not mention or thank his wife during any of his acceptance speeches, and the singer was spotted backstage with fellow celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Heidi Klum.
"Look who I found backstage at the @AMAs @JTimberlake #amas," Klum posted to Twitter along with a photo of a smiling Timberlake.
While Biel opted to stay at home during the AMA's, just two days earlier, the actress shared a photo taken from Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience World Tour" with the caption, "Not a bad seat in the house."
Furthermore, the couple attended the wedding of Timberlake's 'N'Sync band mate, Chris Kirkpatrick, together in Orlando, Florida earlier this month. The nuptials saw a reunion between Timberlake, Kirkpatrick, and 'N'Sync members Lance Bass, JC Chasez and Joey Fatone.
During the wedding, Bass revealed that he and Biel talked wedding plans for his own big day.
"I'm so glad I went to Chris' wedding because I forgot about some of my old management company people," Bass told Us Weekly. "And then we were sitting talking to Jessica Biel, too, and she gave us a lot of great pointers and she had some really great ideas."
