Justin Baldoni's wife Emily looks happy after husband settles lawsuit with Blake Lively

Justin Baldoni and his wife Emily Baldoni were spotted in Nashville on Wednesday just two days after the resolution of his legal dispute with Blake Lively.

The actor and his wife Emily were filmed holding hands outside a café in Tennessee. 

Baldoni and Emily, a Swedish actress, have been married since 2013 and share two children, daughter Maiya Grace and son Maxwell Roland-Samuel.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settled a lawsuit brought by Lively over the filming ​of the 2024 romantic drama "It Ends With Us," both sides said ‌on Monday, averting a civil trial scheduled for May where both actors were expected to testify about Lively's allegations of sexual misconduct by Baldoni.

The settlement, announced in a joint statement that did not disclose terms, ​ends more than a year of acrimonious litigation that drew intense publicity as ​details of Lively's allegations and Baldoni's counterclaims trickled out in court ⁠filings.

The statement said both sides hope the deal brings "closure."

Lively, widely known for starring ​in the TV series "Gossip Girl," sued Baldoni, his production company Wayfarer Studios and others in December ​2024, seeking damages for alleged harassment, defamation, invasion of privacy and violations of federal and state civil rights laws.

She said the defendants created a sexually charged atmosphere during the movie's production, then mounted ​a smear campaign to silence her.

Baldoni, who directed and co-starred in "It Ends With ​Us," countered that he quickly resolved Lively's concerns and said he was entitled to hire a ‌crisis management ⁠firm after Lively began disparaging him publicly.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman dismissed Lively's sexual harassment claims on April 2, but details of the actor's allegations could have still emerged in the scheduled May 18 civil trial over her retaliation claims.

The dispute became public in ​December 2024 when ​Lively filed a complaint ⁠against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department, followed by her lawsuit. A related article published in the New York Times was ​titled: "'We Can Bury Anyone': Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine."

Baldoni sued ​Lively and ⁠her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, for defamation, saying they tried to destroy his reputation, but Liman dismissed that case in June. The judge also dismissed Baldoni's defamation case against the ⁠Times.

"It Ends ​With Us" starred Lively as a flower shop ​owner who marries a neurosurgeon played by Baldoni.
