Justin Baldoni is leaning on the love and support of his 'Jane the Virgin' family as he navigates the aftermath of a headline-making legal dispute with Blake Lively. The actor recently took to social media to break his silence, sharing an emotional video with his wife, Emily Baldoni, reflecting on the challenging journey they've faced over the past two years.
In the heartfelt video, Justin and Emily opened up about their decision to stay quiet during the legal proceedings, emphasizing their trust in the justice system. "We have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years," Justin shared. "It just felt like every time we went to make a video like this, we wanted to speak, something was telling us not to." His words resonated deeply with fans and friends alike.
“We just know we need to share something. What I will say is that there have been so many painful things that have been spoken into existence over the last couple of years.”
Gina Rodriguez, who played alongside Baldoni in 'Jane the Virgin,' was one of the first to publicly express her support. Her message of love and solidarity highlighted the enduring bond between the former co-stars. "♥️ love you friends. Por vida," Rodriguez wrote, a testament to the friendship that has remained strong since the series concluded in 2019.
Fans were quick to notice Rodriguez's public show of support, praising the close-knit relationships that have persisted beyond the screen. Her heartfelt message is consistent with the warmth and affection she has previously expressed for Baldoni, whom she regards as family.
Brett Dier, another 'Jane the Virgin' alum, joined the chorus of support for Baldoni, further illustrating the tight-knit nature of the cast. Dier, who portrayed Michael Cordero Jr., echoed sentiments of encouragement, underscoring the solidarity among the show's stars.
The drama between Baldoni and Blake Lively dates back to late 2024, during the production of "It Ends With Us," where Baldoni served as director and co-star. Lively filed legal claims alleging misconduct, which Baldoni denied, leading to a countersuit and a prolonged legal saga. In May 2026, the two parties reached a settlement, emphasizing a mutual commitment to respectful workplaces and raising awareness about domestic violence. With the legal chapter now closed, Baldoni appears to be focusing on moving forward with the support of his cherished friends.
