The Justin Baldoni legal feud has brought another show of support. This time, it came from two familiar faces from his Jane the Virgin years.
Gina Rodriguez breaks her silence to defend her longtime friend amid ongoing legal drama
Jane the Virgin stars Gina Rodriguez and Brett Dier publicly supported Justin Baldoni after he and wife, Emily Baldoni, shared an emotional Instagram video about the toll of his legal battle with Blake Lively.
The video marked Baldoni’s first major public statement after the settlement in the It Ends With Us dispute. In it, he said he and Emily had stayed quiet for much of the past two years because they wanted to let the justice system “run its course” instead of adding to “the noise.”
Rodriguez responded in the comments with a warm message for the couple. “Love you friends. Por vida,” she wrote. Dier also joined in, writing, “I love you guys.”
The Gina Rodriguez supports Justin Baldoni moment quickly caught attention because of their long history together. Rodriguez played Jane Villanueva on the CW series, while Baldoni starred as Rafael Solano. Dier played Michael Cordero Jr., completing one of the show’s central love triangles.
Their bond also predates the current Blake Lively legal drama. In a 2024 People interview, Rodriguez called Baldoni her “brother forever” and said he was the Jane the Virgin cast member she stayed in touch with the most.
Dier had also addressed the situation in a May 2025 Fan Mail interview. He called it “a really intense situation,” but added, “I always loved Justin. He’s always been an amazing friend to me.”
The legal dispute between Baldoni and Lively ended in a May 2026 settlement before trial. However, the fallout has continued, with Lively later seeking more than $8 million in attorneys’ fees tied to Baldoni’s dismissed counterclaim.
So, while this was not a full Jane the Virgin cast reunion, the message was clear. Rodriguez and Dier used the moment to stand beside their former co-star as the conversation around the case continues.
