Justin Baldoni, known for his role in “It Ends With Us” and as its director, made a heartfelt return to social media to commemorate a significant personal milestone. On July 27, 2025, Baldoni shared a touching post on Instagram celebrating his 12-year wedding anniversary with his wife, Emily Baldoni.
In the post, Justin, 41, shared a nostalgic photo of the couple on their wedding day, wrapped in each other’s arms. He captioned the image, “I’d marry you again and again and again and again… Happy anniversary my love. T W E L V E. ❤️.” This heartfelt tribute comes after a brief hiatus from social media, during which Baldoni has been navigating a turbulent legal landscape.
The anniversary celebration follows a challenging period for Baldoni, who has been embroiled in a legal dispute with his “It Ends With Us” co-star, Blake Lively. The legal battle began in December 2024 when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. Baldoni has categorically denied these allegations and has also refuted claims that he hired a crisis management team to tarnish Lively’s reputation.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, Us Weekly reported on July 23 that YouTuber Kassidy O’Connell is countering Lively’s legal team after they allegedly issued improper subpoenas to Google regarding her. O’Connell plans to seek sanctions in this high-profile case. In a separate legal filing, Baldoni’s lawyers claimed that multiple subpoenas had been sent to various content creators by Lively’s team. Lively’s representatives stated that subpoenas are standard tools for gathering evidence in court and should not be misconstrued as accusations of wrongdoing.
Despite these legal challenges, Baldoni has maintained a focus on his family. He recently celebrated his 41st birthday surrounded by loved ones, with Emily posting a sweet tribute on Instagram, highlighting the man, husband, and father he is. “Happy birthday, my love,” she wrote, adding, “I’d choose you again and again.” This loving message, along with the anniversary post, showcases the couple’s strong bond amid external pressures.
The ongoing legal saga has seen Baldoni and Lively’s dispute escalate, with Baldoni previously accusing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of taking control of the film project after production wrapped. A $400 million defamation lawsuit Baldoni filed against Lively was dismissed by a judge earlier this year, adding another layer to the already complicated situation.
Baldoni has largely refrained from discussing his legal troubles publicly, focusing instead on family moments. Since Lively’s lawsuit, he has made only a couple of posts on social media, including a Mother’s Day tribute featuring his wife and mother, along with their two children.
As fans of Baldoni and the film “It Ends With Us” continue to follow the unfolding drama, his anniversary post serves as a reminder of the personal joys that persist even in the face of adversity. The couple’s enduring love story resonates with many, providing a glimpse into their life beyond the headlines.
In the world of Hollywood, where personal and professional lives often intertwine, Justin Baldoni’s journey reflects the complexities of fame, love, and the challenges that come with it. As he navigates this tumultuous chapter, fans can take solace in the strong foundation he shares with Emily, celebrating their love while awaiting further developments in his legal battles.
