SCANDALOUS CELEBRITY SHENANIGANS: Justin Baldoni's 12th Anniversary with Emily is a Love Fest Amidst Bitter Legal Battle with Blake Lively!

In a shocking display of marital bliss, Justin Baldoni, the 41-year-old actor, took to Instagram on Sunday to celebrate his 12th wedding anniversary with wife Emily. But amidst the love-filled posts and sweet sentiments, it's hard not to notice the looming shadow of his bitter legal battle with none other than Blake Lively!

As we reported earlier, Justin and Blake are embroiled in a heated court battle after clashing on set while filming their romantic drama It Ends With Us last year. But for now, let's focus on the Baldoni's 12-year journey together. The loving couple shared throwback photos from their special day, with Justin declaring his undying love for Emily and spelling out the number 12 in a heartfelt caption.

Emily, not to be outdone, posted a more recent photo of the pair taken by their 10-year-old daughter Maiya, also spelling out the number 12. It's clear that despite the drama surrounding them, Justin and Emily are still going strong!

But amidst the anniversary love-fest, it's hard not to wonder what's really going on behind the scenes. After all, Justin is gearing up for a major showdown with Blake in court next year! As we previously reported, Blake sued Justin for allegedly sexual harassing her and orchestrating a retaliatory smear campaign against her.

In the explosive lawsuit filing, Blake outlined the work opportunities she allegedly missed out on due to Justin's actions. One of the most egregious examples? Hosting the season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live in September 2024, which aired just a month after the film was released!

For her part, Emily posted a more recent photo of them, taken by their 10-year-old daughter Maiya

Blake claimed that Justin's behavior had "immediate and substantial" effects on her professional life, forcing her to avoid public appearances and events altogether. And things only got worse from there! In January, Justin hit back with a $400 million countersuit accusing Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds of defamation.

All parties have denied the allegations, but it's clear that this is far from over! As the drama continues to unfold, it's hard not to wonder what other surprises are in store. Will we see more fireworks between these two Hollywood heavy-hitters?

Meanwhile, sources close to Taylor Swift insist that she had no knowledge of the meeting convened by Blake at her New York penthouse to discuss It Ends With Us script changes. According to insiders, Swift was simply invited to a gathering and found it already underway!

He wrote in the caption, 'I¿d marry you again and again and again and again¿ Happy anniversary my love. T W E L V E ¿¿'

As for what's next in this tangled web of celebrity drama? Only time will tell! For now, let's just enjoy the love-filled anniversary posts from Justin and Emily – while we're at it, let's raise a glass to their 12 years together!
