While Alisha has managed to keep her love life under the covers, there has been speculation about a possible spark with her Palmer co-star Justin Timberlake. Fans recently spotted Wainwright and JT holding hands at a bar in New Orleans. 

Despite confirming that the”holding hands” were nothing but a result of a “boozy night,” the 38-year-old singer felt guilty about it. Alisha’s father reassured the media that there is nothing to worry about, whereas JT’s wife, Jessica Biel, has been laughing it off.
