American singer and actor Justin Timberlake has touched hearts after making a special appearance with his 7-year-old niece, Zaya Biel, at the Global Down Syndrome Foundation’s annual fashion show in Denver, Colorado.
The Grammy winner joined his niece on the runway during the organization’s 19th annual Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show.
Zaya, who has Down syndrome, was at the centre of Timberlake, who was also accompanied by Jessica’s brother Justin Biel and his wife Rose. Timberlake has been married to Jessica Biel since 2012.
Zaya was honored as Global’s Ambassador in 2024 for the organization.
“Jessica and I adore Zaya, and we couldn’t be prouder of the remarkable difference she is making in the world. Every person with Down syndrome deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and that’s why GLOBAL’s work means so much to our family,” Timberlake said.
The special appearance was made more memorable when Timberlake’s two sons, Silas 11 and Phineas, 6, joined them on the runway.
He walked the runway holding Zaya, lifting her into his arms as the audience cheered, and the singer was visibly proud as they waved to the crowd.
At the event, Zaya wore a poofy white dress decorated with black bows, while Timberlake and his sons all wore black jackets with matching pants.
The children shared a joyful moment together, dancing and celebrating as the audience applauded.
He later shared pictures of the occasion on his Instagram, describing himself as a proud uncle.
“We walked my beautiful niece Zaya down the @globaldownsyndrome runway last night. Proud uncle!” he wrote.
