Justin Baldoni and his wife, Emily Baldoni, speak publicly for the first time in about two years about their legal dispute connected to the 2024 film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel, “It Ends With Us.” Multiple outlets report the couple addressed the “traumatic” experience, describing the period since the lawsuit as filled with personal strain and “painful” matters. They say they have navigated a “healing journey” and shared their faith, and they characterize claims made during the dispute as “untruthful,” while stating that they experienced “pain.”
Several sources also report the dispute involved events surrounding the film’s production, and that Baldoni and Lively reached a settlement in May. In interviews and coverage of the couple’s statements—often described as coming via Instagram—Emily Baldoni adds that they had to “wrestle” with many issues, including questions about how such a conflict could occur and whether it was framed as part of a broader fight for women.
The outlets consistently describe Baldoni’s and Emily’s message as reflective rather than new legal arguments, focusing on the emotional impact of the allegations and the conclusion of the matter through settlement.
