The majority of Justin Baldoni<\/a>‘s\u00a0famous friends stayed silent as he paid tribute to wife Emily on their 12th wedding anniversary with a sweet Instagram post on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The actor, 41, failed to receive the usual gushing comments and kind words from fellow celebs amid his ongoing bitter legal battle with former co-star\u00a0Blake Lively<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alongside a snap of the couple on their 2013 wedding day he wrote:\u00a0‘I\u2019d marry you again and again and again and again\u2026 Happy anniversary my love. T W E L V E.’<\/p>\n

Actress and Eric Dane<\/a>‘s ex\u00a0Rebecca Gayheart<\/a>, 53, appeared the only recognisable name to acknowledge the milestone and commented with love heart emojis.<\/p>\n

But while the likes of Justin’s former co-stars like Chris Pratt<\/a>, Hannah Waddingham<\/a> and Gina Rodriguez seemingly swerved the post, fans were quick to show their support amid his ongoing legal woes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They gushed:\u00a0‘JUSTICE FOR JUSTIN!\u00a0 And Happy Anniversary cuties. The truth always prevail’: ‘Stay the course, thousands have your back. Truth will prevail! Happy Anniversary’: ‘The truth will prevail!!!!’: ‘GREEN FLAGS EVERYWHERE’.<\/p>\n

But while the likes of Justin’s former co-stars like Chris Pratt , Hannah Waddingham and Gina Rodriguez (pictured 2019) seemingly swerved the post, fans were quick to show their support<\/p>\n

Justin’s wife Emily\u00a0posted a more recent photo of them, taken by their 10-year-old daughter Maiya.<\/a><\/p>\n

Like her husband, she also spelled out the number 12 and added, ‘Still madly in love with you.’<\/p>\n

In addition to their daughter, Justin and Emily also share seven-year-old son Maxwell.<\/p>\n

Their united, loved-up display comes as the filmmaker prepares to face-off against Blake, 37, in court next year\u00a0after they clashed while filming It Ends With Us last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The stars butted heads while filming the romantic drama,\u00a0and things turned litigious in December when the Gossip Girl alum<\/a>\u00a0sued the actor for allegedly sexual harassing and engineering a retaliatory smear campaign against her.<\/p>\n

Seven months ago, in her explosive lawsuit filing, the blonde bombshell outlined work opportunities she allegedly missed out on due to Baldoni.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the missed gigs listed was hosting the season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live in September 2024, which aired the month after the film was released.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The effects on Ms. Lively\u2019s professional life were immediate and substantial,’ said the suit.<\/p>\n

‘Given the ongoing nature of the campaign and the associated negative public sentiment, Ms. Lively did not believe she could proceed with public appearances or events without being forced to openly discuss what happened on set,’ the filing stated.<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to show their support for the actor amid his ongoing legal woes\u00a0<\/p>\n

Baldoni hit back in January with a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds of defamation.<\/a><\/p>\n

All parties have denied the allegations.<\/p>\n

In June the defamation element of Baldoni\u2019s lawsuit was thrown out by a judge, although he is still suing for civil extortion and invasion of privacy among other claims.<\/p>\n

Lively also suffered a setback in the case when a judge denied her attorneys’ application for a protective order seeking to block her text messages with Taylor Swift from being entered as evidence.<\/p>\n

Baldoni\u2019s team subpoenaed Lively for text messages, emails and any other messages between her and Swift.<\/p>\n

His lawyers were subsequently allowed to pore through the text trail, with all communications related to It Ends With Us set for scrutiny.<\/p>\n

In one text exchange, Lively appeared to refer to herself as the Game of Thrones character Khaleesi, and to Swift as one of her ‘dragons.’<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Baldoni’s filing is the claim that Swift was present at a meeting convened by Lively at her New York penthouse to discuss It Ends With Us script changes.<\/p>\n

Sources close to Swift insisted the singer had no knowledge of the meeting and simply arrived to find it underway.<\/p>\n

The situation reportedly left Swift \u2014 who is godmother to Lively’s three daughters \u2014 feeling \u2018exploited\u2019 by her friend of ten years<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The majority of Justin Baldoni‘s\u00a0famous friends stayed silent as he paid tribute to wife Emily on their 12th…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27658,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,26705,447,15295,100,134,13357,1202,26706,26707,2017],"class_list":["post-27657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-blake-lively","tag-celebrities","tag-chris-pratt","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-hannah-waddingham","tag-instagram","tag-justin-baldoni","tag-rebecca-gayheart","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
