Justin Baldoni Sells Culver City Home for $2.1M After Relocating to Nashville Amid Settled Blake Lively Drama

Actor and director Justin Baldoni has finalized the off-market sale of his Culver City residence for $2,100,000. The transaction marks a definitive step away from Los Angeles following his family’s relocation to Tennessee after a high-profile legal dispute surrounding the film It Ends With Us.

The sale locked in an estimated $1,000,000 profit for the 42-year-old filmmaker. Records show Baldoni originally purchased the mid-century residence as a fixer-upper in 2017 for $1,040,000 before completing extensive architectural updates.

The single-family property, built in 1952, sits on a 5,736-square-foot lot and offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Upgrades to the residence include wood-vaulted ceilings, modern finishes, and an outdoor swimming pool.

A Multi-Year Renovation Project

Baldoni spent substantial time transforming the mid-century structure into a personalized retreat. In 2020, he publicly documented the process, noting that the work spanned over three full years of dedicated effort.

“So after three years we have finally finished our home! So much love has gone into this house, that to say it’s been a labor of love is an understatement.”

The extensive overhaul involved redesigning internal layouts and integrating customized design elements throughout the living spaces. Despite the time invested in refining the Culver City property, Baldoni and his wife, Emily, opted for an entirely new chapter outside of Southern California.

The Shift to Tennessee and Real Estate Portfolio Changes

The Baldonis relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where they purchased a new home for $3.4 million in January. Sources close to the family confirmed the cross-country move was aimed at establishing a fresh environment focused squarely on their children.

The Culver City sale does not sever Baldoni’s ties to the West Coast entirely. He retains ownership of a Spanish-style estate located in Ojai, California, featuring five bedrooms.

The Ojai estate was placed on the market for $8,880,000 in April before being pulled off the active market last month.

Moving Past the ‘It Ends With Us’ Legal Battle

Baldoni’s physical distance from the Los Angeles film industry follows a bitter courtroom showdown with co-star Blake Lively. The legal conflict originated in December 2024, when Lively filed suit alleging sexual harassment and a coordinated smear campaign during the production of It Ends With Us.

Baldoni rejected every allegation, initiating a $400 million countersuit for defamation and extortion against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, in January 2025.

The legal friction resolved through a series of key court determinations rather than a public trial:

• June 2025: Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was formally dismissed.
• April 2026: A judge dismissed the majority of Lively’s primary claims, including the sexual harassment allegations.
• May 2026: Both parties reached an out-of-court settlement roughly two weeks before trial.

Public Perception vs. Case Realities

Widespread rumors often suggested the controversy would result in a prolonged, combative jury trial in open court. In reality, the legal dispute concluded quietly following judicial rulings that eliminated the core sexual harassment claims, paving the way for a confidential resolution.

The actors ultimately released a joint statement expressing a shared desire to proceed “constructively and in peace.” Baldoni’s transition to Nashville and recent property sale reflect that intent to establish life outside the immediate Hollywood circle.

💬 Baldoni’s decision to trade Southern California for Nashville signals a definitive turning of the page.

✨ Securing a seven-figure profit in Culver City provides a clean exit from a chaotic legal chapter.
