Justin Baldoni Makes Rare Public Appearance on Dancing With the Stars

Justin Baldoni made a rare public appearance on Tuesday, attending Dancing With the Stars with his wife, Emily, and their two children, Maiya, 11, and Maxwell, 8.

The 42-year-old actor and director was spotted in the audience during the show’s Super Bowl-themed episode, reportedly supporting longtime friend and co-host Julianne Hough.

The appearance comes five months after Baldoni settled his legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively, who accused him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her. Baldoni denied the allegations and filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, which was dismissed in June 2025.

The parties reached a settlement in May 2026, avoiding a trial. In August, Lively was awarded $407,000 in legal fees and costs, considerably less than the $8 million she had requested. (Entertainment Weekly)
