Justin Baldoni’s Marriage Under Strain Amid Legal Drama With Blake Lively: Reports

Actor and filmmaker Justin Baldoni is reportedly facing turbulence in his personal life as a result of the ongoing legal controversy surrounding his film It Ends With Us.

A close friend of the couple revealed that although the experience has been tough, Justin and Emily are together weathering the storm. Baldoni is relying heavily on his inner circle and faith to stay centred, the source explained, adding that even though the lawsuit has brought additional emotional and financial pressure, the two are still very much devoted to one another. In fact, the experience could have even strengthened them further.

Married in 2013, the Baldonis have frequently talked openly about their relationship and commitment to family. Today, with the trial approaching in March 2026, they are said to be prioritising keeping that unity intact. The insider pointed out that Justin is trying to be optimistic and keep a level head even as the pressure of legal battle mounts.

The controversy arises from an incident related to It Ends With Us, the 2024 movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, in which Baldoni both acted and directed. While he was working closely behind the scenes, Baldoni staged a noticeable absence from the film’s promotions, aligned with the initial days of the legal battle.

Blake Lively sued Baldoni and others in December 2024, claiming sexual harassment and retaliation in the workplace. The accusations rocked Hollywood and spawned an intense legal retort from Baldoni. He struck back by initiating a countersuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others, claiming extortion and defamation in response.
