A heartfelt clip from Justin Baldoni’s 2013 wedding to Emily Baldoni has resurfaced online, drawing attention to the actor-filmmaker’s emotional vows. In the video, recorded during their nuptials in Corona, California, Baldoni began his vows with an apology to his bride, addressing his personal faults and pledging lifelong commitment.
“I’m sorry for all my faults, my shortcomings, for my insecurities and my ego and for everything that I’ve ever done or said that’s hurt you,” Baldoni said. “And everything I’ve ever brought to this relationship that hasn’t been pure.”
The Jane the Virgin star continued with a promise: “For the rest of my life, I will cherish you, I will appreciate you, I will listen to you, I will laugh with you, I will take care of you, I will honour you, and I will respect you.”
Emily, a Swedish actress, reciprocated with vows that highlighted her admiration for Baldoni. “I will stand firm by your side, deeply appreciative to have a man who inspires me and the people around him to live life more fully,” she said, affirming her gratitude for his efforts to comfort and uplift others.
The resurfaced wedding footage comes in the wake of serious allegations against Baldoni by actress Blake Lively. The Gossip Girl star has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director, accusing him of creating a hostile work environment during filming. According to a report by Page Six, Lively alleged that the on-set conditions escalated to the point of requiring an emergency meeting to address her concerns.
The lawsuit also claims Baldoni orchestrated a “smear campaign” aimed at damaging Lively’s reputation, resulting in severe emotional distress for her and her family. Baldoni’s legal team has dismissed the allegations, calling them baseless and without merit.
As the allegations and legal proceedings unfold, the resurfaced wedding clip has sparked a mixed reaction online, with some highlighting Baldoni’s emotional sincerity and others questioning the timing of its resurgence amidst the controversy.
Baldoni, known for his work on films like Five Feet Apart and his advocacy for gender equality, has yet to publicly address the allegations.
