Justin Baldoni Puts Blake Lively Drama Aside For His 12th Wedding Anniversary

Justin Baldoni is celebrating his 12th wedding anniversary amid his legal battle with Blake Lively.

The actor, whose image has taken a beating over his issues with his “It Ends With Us” co-star, finally has a reason to smile despite the emotionally draining court case.He proudly marked his longtime union to his spouse with fans while casting his troubles aside.

Justin Baldoni's beloved reputation turned controversial last December when Blake Lively accused him of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her, amongst other crimes. He continues to fight these allegations and maintains his innocence.

Justin commemorated the big day on Instagram, sharing a throwback picture from his union with his wife, Emily Baldoni. The touching image captured the pair dancing, with the “Jane the Virgin” actor looking head over heels for his partner.

“I'd marry you again and again and again and again...Happy anniversary, my love. ΤWELVE [red heart emoji],” the doting husband captioned the post. His sweet tribute to Emily received positive responses from fans, congratulating the couple for withstanding the test of time.

Besides the congratulatory messages, many assured Justin and Emily they were on their side against Lively. “JUSTICE FOR JUSTIN! And Happy Anniversar,y cuties. The truth always prevails,” one fan declared. Another echoed similar sentiments, writing:

“#couplesgoals, we love you and support Justin! #justiceforjustin.”

Although it was unclear when Justin and Emily's relationship began, they reportedly had their first date in 2011 at the Blu Jam Café in Los Angeles. During a 2017 interview, the TV personality shed more light on how his love for his wife blossomed, saying:

“When I met Emily, it was unlike all my other experiences. She had like a depth and a grace, and this quiet strength that I think I always dreamed of—and I just knew.”

Justin wasted no time ensuring Emily became his forever as he popped the big question in 2012 at the same restaurant where they had their first date.

Parade shared that he captured the emotional proposal on YouTube, with the almost 30-minute video showcasing his willingness to go above and beyond for his lover.

Justin and Emily tied the knot a year after the proposal on July 27, 2013. Emily raved about the intimate ceremony in an interview with a wedding website, revealing they said their vows at a mutual friend's Corona property in California.

“My mother-in-law, Sharon, did all the decorating and turned the place into a Midsummer Night’s Dream, exactly what I had hoped for. She put so much love in all the details, you could feel the magic of it all,” Emily raved, noting the decorations gave a “magical spark,” with a “very simple and rustic feel.”

Like her famous husband, Emily is an actress whose earliest film credit is in the 2005 project “The Elephant’s Room.” Her additional roles include an episode of “How I Met Your Mother” in 2007, a lead role in the 2013 film “Coherence,” and a feature in “Five Feet Apart,” which was directed by her husband. 

A week before Justin celebrated his wedding anniversary, Lively made waves for appearing unbothered amid their legal dispute. The Blast covered the story, reporting the actress had promoted her haircare brand, Blake Brown, on Instagram.

Lively shared a video of herself styling her signature curls using her brand's products, L’Oréal spray, and BaByliss hot rollers. She explained that her love for hot rollers and mousse stemmed from her mother, noting in the post's caption that she wanted her brand to embody a similar old-school elegance.

“When we were developing all our products for @blakebrownbeauty it was critical to me that people could achieve professional level results & volume, THEMSELVES, at home, and in a way that was CLEAN, and smelled amazing, making you feel your very best in every way. And at a more accessible price point,” Lively wrote.

Lively's brand promotion followed the postponement of her highly anticipated deposition in the legal drama. The Blast reported that she was scheduled to be deposed by Justin's team on July 17; however, the deposition was rescheduled for July 31.

The deposition's postponement stemmed from the removal of social media personality Jed Wallace from the lawsuit due to jurisdictional reasons. The content creator was dismissed without prejudice, allowing Lively to refile a motion for his inclusion if she wanted.

However, a rep for the actress claimed she wouldn't take that route because she respected the court's decision. Additionally, sources claimed that Lively and Justin agreed to the deposition's postponement to allow their legal teams to prepare more effectively.
