Former NSYNC star Joey Fatone talks to PARADE about his surprising new gig and his advice to his newly-engaged former bandmate Justin Timberlake.

Here are some highlights:

Are you and your other NSYNC band mates still close?
“We saw each other for Chris’ [Kirkpatrick] 40th. I’m 35. We’re getting old! I had dinner with Chris recently and I talked to Justin, Lance [Bass], and JC [Chasez] during my birthday. We try to hook up together once in awhile.”

What do you guys give each other as wedding presents? You have everything already!
“A smack in the head!”

You and your wife have been together for nearly two decades. Any relationship advice for Justin?
“Don’t listen to all the BS. Especially in his situation, he and his fiancé [Jessica Biel] — I haven’t really talked to him about everything yet — but they’re both in the limelight as well. It’s tough for those celebrity couples. It’s really hard. My wife wasn’t in the limelight, which made it easier. The key is to keep it happy, light, and fun. There can be a lot of drama, like when you have kids. And both of them have jobs where they are taken to different places. It’s the communication that really needs to drive that relationship.”
