Justin Baldoni's Wife Emily Shades Blake Lively on Their 13th Anniversary
Justin Baldoni and his wife Emily celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary, and their social media posts sparked a stir: fans spotted a veiled jab at Blake Lively. The couple, who recently settled their legal dispute with the actress, seem to have decided to address the issue with humor.
Recall that the legal battle between Baldoni and Lively lasted two years and ended in a settlement. The spouses previously stated that they had a traumatic experience due to the allegations made by the 'Gossip Girl' star, but now they appear ready to joke about the situation.
On Monday, Justin posted a wedding photo with the caption: '13 years later… we're still dancing. Happy anniversary, my love. I'm pretty sure this was the exact moment my pants ripped open.' Emily responded with a black-and-white shot of Justin lifting her, captioning it: 'Marriage: still my favorite lift. Thirteen, baby!!'
The phrase 'favorite lift' clearly alludes to Blake Lively's accusations against Baldoni: she claimed he made inappropriate comments about her weight while preparing for a scene where he had to pick her up. Baldoni insisted he was just being careful about his back, not criticizing his co-star's figure.
Fans quickly caught the hint and flooded the comments with enthusiastic reactions. 'She's a savage with the play-on word,' 'I bet this lift did not hurt his back,' 'Emily, you're a queen!' wrote users. Some even noted that the couple, unlike Lively, has comments enabled on their posts.
The situation is notable because after the settlement, both sides seemed to avoid public jabs. However, Baldoni and Emily now appear unafraid to poke fun at the scandal, adding a new chapter to this high-profile story.
It remains to be seen how Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, who were reportedly furious over Baldoni's earlier statements, will react to these hints. But one thing is certain: the public is watching this feud with great interest.
