Paparazzi caught up with actress Jessica Biel while she was on vacation in Hawaii on September 27, and the photos with her in a bathing suit are, as always, lovely to look at. The actress took some time off from work to relax with her family at the beach.

When you are able to take your eyes off Biel's toned body for a second, you're going to notice something odd though. Fit as she may be, in the photos presented by Us Weekly, Jessica seems to be showing the tiniest of baby bumps.

Jessica is keen on having babies, Justin not as much

The speculations that the actress could be pregnant are already pouring in, especially since Jessica has been hinting at a baby for some time now. It was believed that her desire to have a baby was so big, that it was creating a rift between her and husband Justin Timberlake who is said to be still avoiding fatherhood.

The fact that the two weren't able to reach a compromise in this matter led some to speculate that the couple was close to divorce (also because Justin may or may not have been caught cheating on Jessica with a female dancer in Paris earlier this year).

These rumors were further fanned by the fact that, at the beginning of the year, Jessica and Justin didn't make any joint public appearances for several months, thus leading to the impression that they were indeed arguing.

For now, we are left only with suppositions, as we can't be sure Jessica is pregnant. After all, Justin has said on numerous occasions that he would like to focus on his career for the moment, which doesn't leave him much time for fatherhood.

After her vacation, Jessica flew to Australia for a Justin Timberlake concert

It could be that Jessica is not pregnant, she's just a little bloated, but seeing as how the rest of her body seems to be in such great shape, it's hard to imagine that she'd have a belly. Then again, there have been previous cases of bigger bellies being mistaken for baby bumps.

After a couple of stays at the beach, Jessica is said to have jetted off to Sydney, Australia, to support husband Justin Timberlake who had a concert there on October 1. Eyewitnesses report that Jessica was Justin's number one fan as she sang and danced near the stage throughout his concert.

If Jessica is indeed pregnant, she is going to be joining in the ranks of many famous Hollywood actresses who have become mothers this year for the first time. Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis are among the latest first-time mothers to join the club.
