When Lively was horrid in the eyes of the world, her past interviews and appearances began to resurface, adding to the narrative that was being painted of her. Now that the tables have turned, Baldoni is being subjected to similar treatment.

An older interview that Baldoni gave with Lively’s ex-boyfriend has become the latest contender, and what the actor had to say about his wife in this is quite peculiar.

Penn Badgley and Justin Baldoni discussed meeting their wives before recent events changed everything

All conversations surroundingJustin Baldoniin recent days have been related toBlake Lively’slawsuit against him. Amid such controversy, it is quite ironic that an interview with Lively’s ex-boyfriend andGossip Girlco-star,Penn Badgley, has begun to resurface. Over a year before the release ofIt Ends With Us,Baldoni made an appearance on Badgley’sPodcrushed Podcast,where he talked about the early years of his relationship with his wife, Emily Baldoni.

Unfortunately, his confessions during this are not helping his image in the eyes of the public. He started off by revealing that he knew from the very first time that he met his wife that she was the one for him. This proved to be quite a problem for both of them, as she did not feel the same way.

I just knew. It was like in every fiber of being, that I met my soulmate and she didn’t know and nobody prepared me for that. Nobody prepares you for when you know with your whole being and the person doesn’t know. And I was just infatuated with her and I was in love, and we weren’t even full-on dating yet. I just knew she was my person.

He confessed that he knew that he would be devoted even before they started dating, while she was continuing to play it cool. Referring to it as the “puppy-dog phase,” he revealed that he did not want to be in anyone else’s company when she was around, even leaving parties after she left.

While falling in love with someone isn’t anything sinister, the picture that Baldoni painted seemed more overbearing than affectionate.

Justin Baldoni’s passion ended up making his wife uncomfortable

Further in the interview, Justin Baldoni revealed that although he was just falling in love with Emily Baldoni, he did not realize at the time that his feelings seemed to be suffocating her. He mentioned that he wanted to show her exactly how he was feeling towards her, which was something she wasn’t used to.

I was suffocating her with my passion, intensity and my love.

He stated that he was trying to break the expectations set on him as a man, and instead of trying to play it cool and be avoidant, he did the opposite and became co-dependent. He added that he thought that his intentions were pure, but they ended up not being so, which resulted in Baldoni unintentionally pushing his wife away.

Come to realize that my intentions were not really pure, so I thought I was doing it the right way. But in reality, I was acting extremely co-dependently. I was needing her versus wanting her.

While Baldoni learned from his mistakes and has been with his wife for over ten years now, there is no denying that the approach that he initially took with her must have made any woman uncomfortable.
