Justin Baldoni attends 'Dancing with the Stars' taping with his family
Actor and director Justin Baldoni attended a “Dancing with the Stars” taping on Tuesday with his wife, Emily, and their two children.
The family were guests of co-host Julianne Hough, who has been friends with Baldoni for more than a decade.
They first worked together on the set of “My Last Days” in 2016, which Baldoni directed.
The appearance was described as Baldoni’s first major public outing in the ballroom audience in recent years.
He has kept a relatively low profile, though he recently reunited with “Jane the Virgin” co-star Gina Rodriguez for a project she is directing and he is producing.
Baldoni and his studio have denied allegations in a lawsuit filed by actress Blake Lively over “It Ends With Us”; they also countersued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and others.
The story says the case was settled in May but gives no further details.
