Jessica Biel Taking Justin Timberlake's Last Name

'I think I really won the jackpot of names,' she tells 'People,' adding that she'll keep her maiden name professionally.

Jessica Biel is saying "Bye Bye Bye" to her last name and picking up her 'NSYNC-alum husband's famous moniker -- at least in real life. The actress told People magazine that she'll take Justin Timberlake's name legally, but her marquee name will remain.

"Yes, I'm changing my name," she told the mag. "My professional name will still be the same, but for life, yes, I think it sounds great. I think I really won the jackpot of names."

She also thinks she hit the jackpot when she found her soul mate in the singer/actor. "It's hard to find that one person in the world," she said. "Once you find that person, go for it. That kind of commitment is very special."
