Who is Emily Baldoni?

Born Emily Malou Fuxler on Aug. 3, 1984, in Uppsala, Sweden, Emily discovered a passion for acting at a young age before eventually moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

After making her screen debut in the 2005 short film The Elephant's Room, she steadily built her résumé with appearances in popular television series including CSI: NY, Burn Notice, NCIS, CSI: Miami and Bones. Her breakout role came in the 2013 sci-fi mystery Coherence, which earned widespread praise from critics and remains one of her most recognized performances.

"I met Emily not long after she moved from Sweden and she had an accent, and I thought, 'Soon as that accent goes away, she’s going to be a leading lady in American movies,” director James Ward Byrkit said in a 2013 interview with Mandatory.com. who cast Emily in Coherence, recalled being immediately struck by her screen presence after she arrived in the United States.

Over the years, Justin has frequently spoken about the strength of their relationship. While reflecting on their marriage in an interview with People in 2024, he explained that they "view marriage as a fortress," describing it as something they built together to withstand life's challenges.
