Justin Baldoni celebrated his 41st birthday with his family by his side amid ongoing legal drama.
“Happy birthday, my love,” the actor’s wife, Emily Baldoni, wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 24. “Celebrating the man, husband and father that you are. I’d choose you again and again.”
Emily, 40, also uploaded a photo of the couple, who have been married since 2013, kissing in front of a body of water. In the snap, their daughter Maiya, 9, hugged their waists while their son Maxwell, 7, was perched on Justin’s shoulders.
Justin turned 41 on Friday, which his other relatives celebrated with their own social media tributes.

Justin Baldoni knew instantly that wife Emily Baldoni was The One. “One of the things I learned from my mom was trusting my intuition, something I wish more men would tap into,” the Jane the Virgin alum told Makers in an October 2017 interview. “I had made the same mistake so many times, searching for […]
“Happy Birthday Justin ~ remembering a wonderful moment after the final ending of Jane The Virgin — a moment where joy and love permeated the set, where friendships and family were born and kindness and integrity permeated the hearts of all the actors and crew, where sadness only entered because it was the final scene of a wonderful journey, and the beginning of the rest of our lives,” Justin’s mom, Sharon Baldoni, wrote in her own Instagram tribute. “A happy loving and generous memory with hearts exploding with possibilities. 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.”
She added, “I love you more than you will ever know! Happy Birthday my beautiful boy! May God continue to bless you in truth.”
Justin is currently embroiled in a legal battle surrounding his experience on 2024’s It Ends With Us. His costar Blake Lively filed a lawsuit last month, accusing Justin of sexual harassment and attempting to ruin her reputation. Justin and Lively, 37, starred as a couple in an abusive relationship in the Colleen Hoover film adaptation, which Justin also directed.

Justin Baldoni and his wife, Emily Baldoni, took some much-needed R&R amid his ongoing lawsuit and drama with Blake Lively. “Justin and Emily’s trip with their kids and close friends has been planned for a while,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly adding that the couple “have always considered Maui a very happy place for […]
Justin vehemently denied Lively’s accusations before filing a $400 million lawsuit against Lively and her team. In the court documents, obtained by Us Weekly earlier this month, Baldoni’s legal team claimed that Lively was “determined to make Baldoni the real-life villain in her story” to mask her alleged “tone-deaf” promotion of the film.
Lively denied his claims through a spokesperson.
“This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its associates is another chapter in the abuser playbook. This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim,” Lively’s lawyers told Us in a statement. “This is what experts call DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender. Wayfarer has opted to use the resources of its billionaire co-founder to issue media statements, launch meritless lawsuits, and threaten litigation to overwhelm the public’s ability to understand that what they are doing is retaliation against sexual harassment allegations.”
Justin, meanwhile, has since been prioritizing his family amid the legal battle.
“We’re grateful to be with the family, man,” he told photographers on January 17 in footage obtained by TMZ. “We have amazing friends and family and faith.”
