Well, it looks like yesterdays reports of the demise of the Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz split was premature. A source close to Timberlake said the couple is still going strong. Look for the couple to appear in public together in the next few days to drive this point home. This time, they won’t be avoiding the paparazzi either.

“The couple are in fact very much together, as he prepares for the release of his album,” says the source, who is close to Timberlake. “Of course, made-up sources have had them breaking up, getting married and having a baby ever since they began dating over three years ago.”

Earlier this week, a report claimed that Timberlake – who is slated to release his new album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, on Sept. 12 – had broken up with Diaz. The story cited their age difference – he’s 25, she’s 33 – as one of the reasons why.
