- LOS ANGELES — Hollywood actor-director Justin Baldoni broke his silence amid
his ongoing legal battle with actress Blake Lively to pay tribute to his wife
and his mom.
-
- On Mother's Day, the director-actor marked a rare public
comment, as he wrote, "My mom gave us faith. My wife is the definition of
it. Our children are growing up in the fortress of that love”.
-
- He shared a family photo on Instagram Sunday (Pacific
Standard Time), reports ‘People’ magazine.
-
- "Happy Mother’s Day to all”, he added. Baldoni
married Emily, an actress, in 2013, and they share two kids, Maiya, 9½, and
Maxwell, 7. When Emily, 40, shared a birthday tribute to Baldoni in January
2025, she wrote on Instagram, "Happy birthday my love. Celebrating the
man, husband, and father that you are. I’d choose you again and again”.
-
- As per ‘People’, at the same time, Baldoni's mother
Sharon supported him in a birthday message on Instagram, writing, "Life
has its moments and also its surprises - as you keep your integrity through it
all Justice and truth will shine today and into eternity. I love you more than
you will ever know! Happy Birthday my beautiful boy! May God continue to bless
you in truth”.
-
- In December 2024, Baldoni's It Ends With Us costar
Lively, 37, sued him and others, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation,
which he denies. Baldoni then countersued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and
more, claiming extortion and defamation.
-
- Lively's lawyers have called his lawsuit
"meritless" and "vengeful”. On January 17 Baldoni, who has been
spending time in Hawaii amid the legal fallout, broke his silence after filing
his $400 million countersuit, telling TMZ in a video while passing through an
airport that he is "grateful to be with the family, man. We have amazing
friends and family. Faith”.

- Blake Lively, who shares four kids with Reynolds, 48, has
made several public appearances since filing her lawsuit
