Emily Baldoni sparked online speculation with a playful anniversary post about her husband, Justin Baldoni. Instagram users quickly connected her “favorite lift” remark to Blake Lively’s legal dispute with Justin. The couple recently celebrated their 13th anniversary.
Instagram users connected Emily’s post to Blake Lively’s ongoing legal dispute with Justin
Emily shared a black-and-white wedding photograph while celebrating the couple’s milestone. Her caption read, “Marriage: still my favorite lift. ? Thirteen, baby!!” The playful wording immediately caught the attention of some social media users.
Several comments interpreted the phrase as a possible reference to Blake Lively. The speculation appeared connected to allegations surrounding a scene from It Ends With Us. Lively previously alleged that Justin made comments about her weight before filming a scene.
The scene involved Justin’s character lifting Lively’s character during the 2024 film. Some Instagram users believed Emily’s wording intentionally referenced those disputed claims. However, Emily did not directly mention Lively or explicitly explain her caption’s meaning.
Social media users appreciated the couple’s strength in the tough times. “Love you guys ❤️?… inspired by your love and strength ✨!” one user commented. Another person cheered Emily, writing, “I’ll ‘Lift’ my glass to that, dear queen!?” The reactions fueled further discussion about the former co-stars’ highly publicised legal dispute.
Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Justin Baldoni in December 2024. Her allegations were later dismissed. The former co-stars eventually settled in May.
Justin and Emily got married in July 2013 and have two children. Their daughter Maiya Grace was born in 2015, while their son Maxwell Roland-Samuel arrived in 2017. Justin has previously described marriage as a “fortress” that protects couples from life’s challenges. Following the legal battle, he and Emily also spoke about focusing on healing. “We are healing,” Justin said in a July video message.
Emily’s latest post comes as the couple continues navigating life after the highly publicised dispute. For now, her playful wording remains open to interpretation among social media users.
