It Ends With Us star Justin Baldoni shared an emotional Mother’s Day tribute on Instagram after last sharing a post in December
Justin Baldoni returned to social media after five months of silence to share an emotional tribute to his wife and his mother on Mother’s Day amid his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively. Following the release of It Ends With Us, Gossip Girl star Blake launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin – who has strongly refuted the claims.
He hit back with a $400 million defamation claim against her, her publicist, and husband Ryan Reynolds, all of whom have dismissed the accusations. Additionally, Justin has launched a $250 million libel case against the New York Times over their coverage of Blake’s allegations.

Most recently, Blake’s friend Taylor Swift was dragged into the drama as Justin’s legal team subpoenaed her. Taylor was delivered a legal notice on Friday by Justin’s lawyer Bryan Freedman – a move which has been slammed by her team as a tactic to create clickbait.
Amid the legal drama, Justin has avoided social media and hadn’t posted on his Instagram page since 10 December where he shared a promotional post for It Ends With Us.
In a new photo, Justin was see surrounded by his loved ones as he shared an emotional Mother’s Day post. He leaned his face towards his mother’s forehead while holding onto one child with one hand.
He held his wife Emily and daughter’s hands with his other as she leaned on his shoulder. Justin captioned the tribute: “My mom gave us faith. My wife is the definition of it.
“Our children are growing up in the fortress of that love. Happy Mother’s Day to all.” The post has gained almost 300,000 likes since it was posted.
His fans and friends rushed to the comment section to share their support for him, with Whitney Cummings writing: “Your wife was my mom on the set of Grizzy Park lol.”
Andy Grammar posted: “Love everyone in that photo with all my heart,” while Justin Anderson posted: “Good men are raised by good women.”
Meanwhile, Blake’s team recently responded to Taylor getting subpoenaed. Blake’s representative issued a statement directed at Justin and his Wayfarer Studios partner Steve Sarowitz.
She claimed their team continues “to turn a case of sexual harassment and retaliation into entertainment for the tabloids,” according to People.
The statement added: “Going as far as suggesting that they sell tickets to a concert venue – Madison Square Garden – to witness Ms. Lively’s deposition, to subpoenaing Taylor Swift, a woman who has given a voice to millions all over the world.”
They added: “This is a very serious legal matter, not Barnum & Bailey’s Circus.”
