Justin Baldoni Attends DWTS With Family After Settlement

Justin Baldoni attended the October 13 episode of Dancing With the Stars with his wife, Emily, and their two children, making a rare public appearance months after he and Blake Lively settled their remaining litigation. The family watched the show’s Super Bowl Night episode, where Baldoni was reported to be a guest of longtime friend and co-host Julianne Hough. The appearance was a family outing, not evidence by itself of a career comeback. Baldoni and Hough have been friends for more than a decade and worked together on the 2016 documentary series My Last Days. Their children, Maiya and Maxwell, were also in the audience. The visit came after the Baldonis spoke publicly in a joint social media video posted in July. Justin said they were healing and described recovery from trauma as nonlinear. Emily said their gratitude did not erase the pain and injustice they felt. Their remarks were made in the context of the legal dispute; they did not establish further details about the family’s private circumstances. The dispute began during production of It Ends With Us, the 2024 film directed by Baldoni and starring Lively.
