Justin Baldoni’s mother reached out to the embattled actor to send him a birthday message as he turned 41 on Friday amid his very public legal battle with Blake Lively.  

Sharon Baldoni shared three pH๏τos of her and her son from the Jane the Virgin set from the series finale in 2019. Sharon appeared to have been an extra that day. 

‘Happy Birthday Justin ~ remembering a wonderful moment after the final ending of ‘Jane The Virgin’- a moment where joy and love permeated the set,’ she began.

After a few more fond recollection, the loving mother, seemed to refer to his current situation, writing, ‘Life has its moments and also its surprises- as you keep your integrity through it all Justice and truth will shine today and into eternity.

‘I love you more than you will ever know! Happy Birthday my beautiful boy! May God continue to bless you in truth.’

A pre-trial conference has been scheduled for February 12, where legal representatives for Baldoni and Lively will hammer out details for any upcoming trial.

Justin Baldoni ‘s mother, Sharon, shared this pH๏τo and several others from behind the scenes at the Jane the Virgin series finale to with the actor a happy 41st birthday on Friday. ‘I love you more than you will ever know!’

Lively, 37,  fired the first salvo in the legal battle, which is expected to cost millions.

In December 2024, the actress filed a complaint for Sєxual harᴀssment and retaliation against her It Ends With Us director and co-star, and sued him days later, claiming he  caused her emotional distress during the shoot, and alleged he sought to malign her character via an online campaign allegedly coordinated with his publicity team.

The full complaint was shared on several media outlets, including The New York Times, which first reported on the allegations.

Baldoni is suing the NY Times for $250 million over its coverage of Lively’s complaint, in addition the $400 million he is seeking from Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds,48.

Lively and Reynolds have asked for a gag order after Baldoni’s attorney leaked a 10-minute video from the It Ends with Us set, and announced plans for a website to disclose more. 

Lively and her team called it an ‘unethical attempt to manipulate the public’ and a ‘continuation of their harᴀssment and retaliatory campaign.’ 

The actress’s attorneys argued that allowing Baldoni and his side to do so would risk ‘tainting the jury pool.’

‘While they are focused on misleading media narratives, we are focused on the legal process,’ The Town actress’ attorneys said.

Baldoni and his It Ends with Us co-star, Blake Lively, 37, are embroiled in a legal battle. Lively has accused the director of  Sєxual harᴀssment on the set and claims he orchestrated a smear campaign against her. Baldoni has denied the claims and is suing the actress for $400m

‘We are continuing our efforts to require Mr. Baldoni and his ᴀssociates to answer in court, under oath, rather than through manufactured media stunts.’ 

Baldoni and his team have fired back, calling the request an ‘intimidation tactic.’ 

Baldoni is also being sued by his former publicist, Steph Jones, who accused Baldoni of breaching their contract, which required him to pay her Jonesworks company $25,000 per month.

The actor left the firm in August just a few months after signing a one-year contract with them, after the publicist he was working with, Jennifer Abel, left Jonesworks to start her own publicity firm. 

Jones has also filed suit against Abel and publicist Melissa Nathan, whose The Agency Group was hired by actor Johnny Depp to during his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.

Jones has accused Baldoni, Abel and Nathan of implementing the smear campaign against Lively behind her back and without her knowledge. 

She also claimed they are  trying to ‘point the finger at her’ for the attacks on Lively.
