LOS ANGELES: Jessica Biel’s first meeting with beau Justin Timberlake’s mother was quite “tricky” and “stressful,” says the actress.

The Summer Catch star said that she was quite nervous when she was first introduced to Justin’s mum, Lynn Harless.

“It always is a stressful situation. You are always trying — without trying too hard — to be likeable,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

She added, “You know mothers and sons and fathers and daughters — those are very protective bonds. So anyone going into that has a tricky situation.”

The couple have been dating for a year now.
