Justin & Emily Baldoni Celebrate 12th Wedding Anniversary Amid Legal Challenges

Actor and director Justin Baldoni and his wife, Emily, marked their 12th wedding anniversary on Sunday, July 27th, with heartfelt social media tributes, showcasing their enduring love despite recent legal turmoil involving Baldoni’s “It Ends With Us” co-star, Blake Lively.

The couple, who married in Corona, California, in July 2013, shared nostalgic glimpses into their wedding day on Instagram. Justin, 41, posted a photo of them dancing at their reception. He wore a cream suit with a white floral boutonniere, perfectly complementing Emily’s floral headpiece and wedding gown.
“I’d marry you again and again and again and again… Happy anniversary my love. T W E L V E,” Justin captioned the sweet throwback image.

Emily shared a more recent, intimate moment – a photo of the couple sharing a kiss while wearing flower crowns. She revealed their 9-year-old daughter, Maiya, was the photographer behind the charming shot.
“T W E L V E. Still madly in love with you ❤️,” Emily wrote in her caption. The couple are also parents to 7-year-old son, Maxwell.

Their enduring romance began with a now-legendary proposal. In April 2013, Justin recreated their first date at Blu Jam Cafe in Los Angeles. What Emily didn’t know was that Justin had staged an elaborate ruse, filming humorous clips pretending to be in various boy bands and even creating a mock music video. A hidden camera captured her live reaction as Justin ultimately proposed, making the 27-minute video a viral sensation.

Anniversary Amid Legal Matters

The celebration of their milestone anniversary comes just over a month after the dismissal of significant legal actions involving Justin. On June 9, 2025, U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed two lawsuits initiated by Baldoni:

1. A $400 million countersuit against Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist Leslie Sloane.
2. A separate $250 million libel lawsuit against The New York Times.

These legal actions were Baldoni’s response to a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit filed against him by Blake Lively in December 2024. Lively’s lawsuit remains active, with Baldoni consistently denying the allegations.

The dismissal of Baldoni’s countersuits marks a significant development in the ongoing legal dispute stemming from their collaboration on the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel “It Ends With Us.”

Focus on Family

Despite the public legal battle, Justin and Emily Baldoni’s anniversary posts focused solely on their love, family, and twelve years of marriage. The images and messages radiated warmth and commitment, highlighting the couple’s bond and the life they’ve built together with their two children.

The couple’s celebration serves as a reminder of their personal journey, distinct from the professional challenges Justin currently faces. They appear focused on cherishing their family unit and the enduring partnership they vowed to uphold twelve years ago.
