The two said they usually prefer not to comment on their relationship, but recent speculation and inaccuracies prompted them to issue the statement.

Timberlake just launched his "FutureSex/LoveSounds" tour and his feature film, "Alpha Dog," is scheduled to open Friday. Diaz most recently appeared in the romantic comedy, "The Holiday," with Kate Winslet.
