Justin Baldoni is breaking his silence after the lengthy legal battle with his It Ends With Us co-star, Blake Lively, came to an end earlier this year.
In a nearly five-minute-long video posted on his Instagram Wednesday evening, Justin, sitting next to his wife, Emily Baldoni, explained his silence and how they’ve been as a family over the last few years since the case that captivated Hollywood first erupted in August 2024.
“We have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years, and it’s not because we haven’t had anything to say, because Lord knows we have, but it just felt like every time we went to make a video like this, we wanted to speak, something was telling us not to. It just didn’t feel like the right time,” Baldoni, who directed and starred in the movie about author Colleen Hoover’s book, began.
However, it seems Wednesday finally felt like the right time, more than two months after Justin and Lively reached a settlement weeks before the case about alleged sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us was scheduled for trial. The legal battle ultimately ended with Justin being ordered by the court to pay Lively’s attorneys’ fees, but no additional money for damages.
