It's been more than 25 years since the world was first introduced to Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass as *NSYNC. After first making a splash


in Germany in 1996, the band went on to release their debut self-titled album,_*NSYNC,_ in March 1998. In 2002, though, the group went on hiatus, however in the years since, the members have


reunited on various occasions for personal milestones, their Walk of Fame ceremony and in 2024, to perform together live for the first time since the 2013 MTV VMAs at Timberlake's


concert in L.A. In addition to being featured on Timberlake's latest album _Everything I Thought It Was _in the song "Paradise," the five men worked together for the first


time in 20 years for the 2023 song “Better Place” from the _Trolls Band Together _soundtrack. A recent reunion — sans Timberlake as he continues to tour Europe — saw the remaining four


members stepping out for the July 22 premiere of _Deadpool & Wolverine_, which features their song, "Bye Bye Bye." While it's unclear what might be in store in terms of a


reunion — with Kirkpatrick telling _Entertainment Tonight_, "Well, we've been talking about it for a while. We're kicking the tires, seeing if the car will still drive, and,


you know, we'll see where it leads" — see what everyone has been up to individually in the years since the band initially took a breather. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE When Justin Timberlake


landed a spot as a member of *NSYNC, he had already starred on _The All-New Mickey Mouse Club_ from 1993 to 1994. Since his time as one of the band's lead vocalists, Timberlake has gone


on to have a career-spanning music, television and film. He dropped his first solo album, _Justified_, in 2002 — producing the hit singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your


Body." The work earned him his first two of a total 10 Grammy Awards. His second album, 2006's _FutureSex/LoveSounds_, would take Timberlake to the next level with singles like


"SexyBack"and "What Goes Around… Comes Around." He's released four more albums since: 2013's _The 20/20 Experience_ (parts 1 and 2), 2018's _Man of the


Woods _and 2024's _Everything I Thought It Was_. In addition to his work in music, he launched an acting career and appeared in a string of comedies and dramas, including _Bad Teacher_,


 _Friends with Benefits_ and the Oscar-nominated _The Social Network. _In 2016 he kicked off his tenure leading the animated _Trolls _franchise. He executive produced the first film's


soundtrack and its first single — "Can't Stop the Feeling" — earned him a Grammy and an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. In 2012, Timberlake married actress 


Jessica Biel and the pair have since welcomed two sons, Silas and Phineas. Timberlake, 43, is currently on a world tour following the release of his latest album. In June 2024, the singer


was arrested and charged with one count of DWI and two citations in Sag Harbor, New York, and was held overnight. During a July hearing, Timberlake's attorney Edward Burke Jr. said


Timberlake was "not intoxicated" and asked for the case to be dismissed outright due to claims of signing errors allegedly made by the arresting officer. Timberlake was


re-arraigned on the misdemeanor again on Aug. 2 and lost his driving privileges in New York. The next court date is scheduled for Aug. 9. JC CHASEZ Timberlake was not the only former


Mouseketeer to join *NSYNC; JC Chasez (né Joshua Scott Chasez) was also a _The All-New Mickey Mouse Club _alumnus_. _And like Timberlake, Chasez launched a solo career when the boy band went


on hiatus — dropping his first solo single, "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" in 2002 (it appeared on the soundtrack to the film _Drumline_). Despite modest success with his


2004 debut album _Schizophrenic _— and the album's first single, "Some Girls Dance with Women" — Chasez parted ways with Jive Records in 2007. His second offering, _The Story


of Kate_, was never released — though tracks from it including "You Ruined Me" and "Until Yesterday" have surfaced online. Since then, he's worked as a writer and


producer for acts like Basement Jaxx, McFly, Girls Aloud, David Archuleta and Liam Payne. He has popped up on television, too — most notably for a seven-season run on _Randy Jackson's


America's Best Dance Crew. _ Chasez revealed to PEOPLE in July 2024 that he's been workshopping two musicals — one of which might include a concept album. In 2019, Chasez, now 47, 


went Instagram official with girlfriend Jennifer HuYoung. LANCE BASS As the band was first getting started in the 1990s, Lance Bass was actually the last addition to the group after they


lost original member Jason Galasso. After his time in the band, the Mississippi native did not go the pop music route though he did dabble in acting both in film and on Broadway, with most


of his career consisting of television roles and radio work. In 2008, he had a successful run on the seventh season of _Dancing with the Stars_ and later launched a radio show (_Dirty Pop


with Lance Bass_), competed with his mom on a reality TV cooking show (_My Kitchen Rules_, for which he came in second place) and hosted a reality TV dating show (Logo's _Finding Prince


Charming_)_._ Bass, who came out exclusively to PEOPLE in July 2006, also starred in his own reality show with husband Michael Turchin called _Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding 


_leading up to the couple's 2014 nuptials in Los Angeles. In 2007, he also released a _New York Times_ best-selling autobiography, _Out of Sync_, and now hosts a podcast called _Frosted


Tips._ Bass, 45, and Turchin welcomed twins Violet Betty and Alexander James via surrogate in October 2021. JOEY FATONE Like Bass, Joey Fatone has spent much of his post-*NSYNC career as a


TV personality — though he did have a role in the 2002 smash rom-com _My Big Fat Greek Wedding_ and its 2016 sequel. Additionally, Fatone has worked as a presenter, hosting everything from


red carpets to reality competition shows (NBC's _The Singing Bee, _NBC's _Celebrity Circus_, Live Well Network's_ My Family Recipe Rocks_, the Food Network's _Rewrapped_


and Discover Family's _Parents Just Don't Understand_, among others). Fatone has also had a reality TV run himself as a contestant — on the Food Network's _Rachael vs. Guy:


Celebrity Cook-Off_ and, of course, _Dancing with the Stars. _The latter had Fatone competing twice — first in the show's fourth season (he placed second) and then again in season 15


(he was eliminated in week 2). He also took a turn as a Broadway performer, with roles in _Rent_ and _Little Shop of Horrors_. Recently, Fatone hit the road with fellow boybander AJ McLean


of The Backstreet Boys as co-headliners on the "A Legendary Night" tour. In 2004, Fatone wed longtime girlfriend Kelly Baldwin, though after 20 years together the two divorced.


They share two daughters, Briahna and Kloey. Fatone, 47, is now dating Izabel Araujo. CHRIS KIRKPATRICK Since his time in *NSYNC, Chris Kirkpatrick has appeared in reality TV on various


occasions — CMT's _Gone Country_ and VH1's _Mission Man Band — _and in 2022, competed on _The Masked Singer_ as Hummingbird. When it was time for him to walk down the aisle in 2013


to marry his wife, Karly Skladany, all four of his former bandmates were on deck to help him celebrate. In October 2017, he and Skladany welcomed their first child, son Nash Dylan. In 2024,


Kirkpatrick, 52, was featured on the Netflix docuseries _Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam_, which highlighted the rise and fall of the band's creator Lou Pearlman. Read more:
