Justin Baldoni sends strong message after Blake Lively settlement

Justin Baldoni made a dramatic Nashville outing with wife Emily days after shock Blake Lively settlement.

The 42-year-old actor appeared relaxed as he visited a local café on Wednesday, May 6, with the couple holding hands during the outing.

Emily has remained by Baldoni’s side since Lively first filed allegations against him in December 2024.

The appearance comes just days after Lively reached a surprise settlement with Baldoni's production company Wayfarer Studios and his PR team over the It Ends With Us dispute ahead of their scheduled May trial.

In a joint statement, both sides said, "We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms Lively deserved to be heard. We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments."

Lively’s lawsuit, which initially included sexual harassment and retaliation allegations, had already been significantly narrowed after a judge dismissed multiple claims last month.

However, no apology was issued in the settlement statement.

Baldoni had also previously countersued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation, although that case was dismissed earlier in the proceedings.
