Timberlake, who shares the boys with his wife Jessica Biel, expressed deep gratitude and love for his children.
Calling Silas and Phineas his "two greatest gifts," he thanked them for giving him his "biggest purpose." He added, "I learn more about myself every day just because you both chose me to be your Daddy.
I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys… to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life and to pick you up when you fall.
And, of course, to flood you with insufferable Dad-jokes all along the way."
He concluded the message with, "I love you both so much."
