Video Emerges of Justin Baldoni Apologizing to His Wife on Their Wedding Day During Blake Lively Lawsuit

A resurfaced video shows “It Ends With Us” director Justin Baldoni apologizing to his wife while saying his vows to her at their wedding.

Before the video resurfaced, an interview from 2021 also re-emerged, showing Baldoni admitting to his past porn addiction.

These bits from Baldoni’s past are taking center stage now after his costar, Blake Lively, filed a sexual harassment complaint against him.

An excerpt from the wedding video of Baldoni and his wife Emily was uploaded on YouTube on November 13, 2013. The video resurfaced in the media recently due to Blake Lively’s legal battle with a colleague from “It Ends With Us.”

In the rediscovered footage, Baldoni can be seen expressing his vows to Emily. He initiated with a heartfelt apology, stating as reported by Page Six, “I want to commence my vows to you with an apology. I am sorry for my imperfections, my flaws, my insecurities, and my ego, for every action or word of mine that has caused you pain, and for not always bringing positivity to our relationship.”

Continuing, Baldoni vowed, “However, along with that apology, I also make a solemn promise. Emily, for the entirety of our lives, I will treasure you, I will value you, I will heed your words, I will share laughter with you, I will care for you, I will hold you in high regard, and I will show you the utmost respect.”

While saying her vows, Emily resolved to “stand strong” by her husband’s side as she was grateful to have a man like him “who will go above and beyond to comfort a friend or to simply make somebody feel loved.”

She vowed to stand firmly by Baldoni’s side before adding that she was “deeply appreciative to have a man who inspires me and the people around him to live life more fully.”

Following their exchange of vows, Baldoni said, “Let’s jump in together forever,” after which they high-fived each other.

The resurfaced video of Baldoni’s wedding apology follows an old interview of him that re-emerged following Lively’s legal complaint.

In July 2021, Baldoni was a guest on Sarah Grynberg’s “A Life of Greatness” podcast and shared candid details about his past addiction to porn. The filmmaker revealed that he was introduced to pornography at 10 before adding that he found solace in it.

He shared that he turned to porn for “refuge” when he was alone, abandoned, or hurt and described it as a source of “dopamine rush.”

Baldoni also said, “I trained my brain to deal with pain with the dopamine hit. … But it doesn’t mean that I’m not using something in an unhealthy way.”

He revealed how he went back to looking at pictures and videos of naked women in moments when he felt necessarily bad about himself. Baldoni added, “I knew it was an issue for me when I would tell myself that I don’t want to do that.”

Lively claimed Baldoni engaged in sexual misconduct during filming, causing her to call for a meeting to express her concerns. She claimed that she made several demands at the meeting, which Baldoni and his production company agreed to.

Some of the 37-year-old actress’s demands included “No more showing nude videos or images of women to her, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous pornography addiction, and no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of her and others.”

Lively also claimed that Baldoni and his team spearheaded a smear campaign against her following the meeting. However, she hoped that her lawsuit would help reveal sinister retaliatory tactics aimed at harming people and help protect others who may be targeted.

Baldoni responded to Lively’s lawsuit via a statement from his lawyer, Bryan Freedman, who labeled the actress’s claims as “false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious, with an intent to publicly hurt.” Freedman also claimed Lively filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation.”

Justin Baldoni dated Emily, a Swedish actress, for two years before they married in July 2013 in Corona, California. The couple has two children: a daughter named Maiya and a son named Maxwell.

Baldoni’s Instagram page is littered with posts celebrating his and Emily’s love and beautiful moments. On September 15, he shared several photos from their family vacation at The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba. One picture showed Baldoni and Emily smiling as they posed for a selfie while immersed in water.

On August 5, Baldoni paid tribute to his wife on her 40th birthday. He wrote, “I am in awe of this woman. Her strength. Her bravery. Her groundedness. Her Magic. Her love.”

He concluded, “The magic follows you wherever you go. I’m grateful I get to join you and learn from you on this journey.”
