Justin Timberlake ditches his wedding ring as he parties and holds hands with his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright (Photos)

Justin Timberlake, who is currently married to Jessica Biel, was seen getting cosy with his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright as they partied together on Thursday in New Orleans.

The 38-year-old singer and 30-year-old Alisha were caught holding hands in a New Orleans bar.

Justin and Alisha were photographed from a small balcony overlooking the street. Justin was seated at a table while Alisha could be seen cosying up to him.

A witness claims that “At one stage he grabbed her hand and rested it on his knee. She then gently started stroking his leg.”

The witness adds: “Then he clutched her hand with both of his and was playing with her hands.”

The blurry photos of Justin and Alisha appear to show Justin without his wedding ring.

Also, a video shared by The Sun UK appears to show Justin with his arm around Alisha. Onlookers who spoke to The Sun appeared shocked that the married singer would allow himself to make the affectionate display in public.

But a source who spoke to DailyMail claims that in spite of what the photo may seem to reveal, nothing is going on between Justin and Alisha. The source adds that the pair were “out with a group of people from [the Palmer] production. There was nothing going on.”

Justin and Jessica Biel have been married since 2012 and share a 4-year-old son.
