The Surprising Role Justin Baldoni’s Kids Had In It Ends With Us

The Surprising Role Justin Baldoni's Kids Had In It Ends With Us

As a dedicated fan of this multi-talented powerhouse, Justin Baldoni, I am utterly captivated by his journey and the profound impact he is making both on and off screen. His recent venture into directing and starring in “It Ends With Us” was not just a professional milestone but a significant step for his kids, Maiya and Maxwell.


It Ends With Us was actually the start of something for Justin Baldoni’s kids. 

The actor from “Jane The Virgin,” who collaborated with Blake Lively on a movie adaptation (based on Colleen Hoover’s work), has revealed his unique approach to featuring his real-life family members – daughter Maiya, age 9, and son Maxwell, age 7 – in the production.

Justin revealed during an exclusive interview with TopMob News that “they” were featured in the final scene at the farmer’s market. Two children, who seemed eager to make their entrance, dashed into the market. Justin encouraged them by saying “Action!” and then they quickly exited. It appears that this brief experience is all they desire from show business, as they are now telling their friends about it.

Meanwhile, Justin, who married Emily in 2013, mentioned that their daughter has an innate talent for directing, while their son excels at performing. However, he stressed that they may not be destined to follow his career path, and he doesn’t wish for them to feel obligated to do so either.

He mentioned that neither of them has expressed a desire to become actors, but instead, they’re keen on appearing in his film simply to boast to their friends that they have acted in movies.

If Maiya or Maxwell consider entering the entertainment industry at some point, Justin emphasized that he aims to remain uninvolved in their future careers, as his main concern is their happiness rather than any specific career path.

As he put it, “They’re both so smart, they’re so much smarter than I ever was and so creative.”

Despite being the co-founder of Wayfayer Production studios, Justin expressed his desire to share the essence of his work with his children as he takes on projects such as “Five Feet Apart” (2019), “It Ends With Us”, and the recent Will Ferrell documentary titled “Will & Harper”. He aims for these endeavors to be both useful and to add to a broader discussion.

Indeed, the latest endeavor of this 40-year-old individual is perfectly aligned with that statement. At present, he is collaborating with Purina Dog Chow’s “Service Dog Salute,” a segment of the New York Dog Film Festival (which debuted on October 23). This initiative highlights the significant role service dogs play in offering assistance to veterans who struggle with PTSD.

As a lifestyle expert well-versed in the realm of masculinity, I’ve dedicated a significant portion of my life to understanding men, promoting mental health, and breaking down stereotypes. A topic seldom discussed yet vitally important is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In popular media, PTSD is frequently misrepresented, often portraying it in ways that don’t resonate with reality. Furthermore, there seems to be a widespread assumption that medication is the sole solution for managing this condition. However, I believe in exploring and discussing a wide range of approaches to cope with PTSD.

The category of the film festival doesn’t just promote understanding, but also collects money to provide crucial training for service dogs that assist veterans.

Justin expressed his gratitude for being able to contribute through his work, stating, ‘I’m glad I can help out, especially since it involves supporting an organization that significantly improves the lives of veterans.’

Overall, the filmmaker is always looking to create and support movies that “need to happen.”

He shared that he truly enjoys his work, particularly filmmaking, and takes pride in serving others in this capacity. Instead of discussing the specific projects, he prefers conversations centered around the influence these projects have on people’s lives.
