Emily’s acting career began with a small role in the 2005 short film The Elephant’s Room, and she appeared in a 2007 episode of How I Met Your Mother.
In 2019, she starred in Five Feet Apart, a drama directed by her husband.
Reports indicate that the couple had their first date at the Blu Jam Cafe in Los Angeles in 2011, and in 2012, Justin proposed to Emily at the same location.
He shared the heartfelt moment in a nearly 30-minute video on YouTube, writing in the caption, “On April 13, I proposed to my girlfriend Emily at the restaurant where we had our first date.
‘I told her I was going to be late, left the restaurant open just for her and set up hidden cameras all around her.
“When she sat down at the table, there was a TV in front of her set that took her on a journey that would lead to the proposal of a lifetime.”
The couple married on July 27, 2013 in a romantic ceremony in California.

Emily’s acting career began with a small role in the 2005 short film The Elephant’s Room, and she appeared in a 2007 episode of How I Met Your Mother.
Reports indicate that the couple had their first date at the Blu Jam Cafe in Los Angeles in 2011, and in 2012, Justin proposed to Emily at the same location.
‘My mother-in-law Sharon did all the decorating and turned the place into a Midsummer Night’s Dream, just what I had hoped for.
‘She put so much love into all the details, you could feel the magic of it.’
Emily also played Dr. Julie in It Ends With Us, the film at the center of Blake Lively’s lawsuit.
Before marrying Justin, Emily was named Emily Foxler, an adapted version of her birth name, Emily Malou.
The couple share two children, Maiya Grace, born in 2015, and Maxwell Roland-Samuel, born in 2017, and often share glimpses of their family life on Instagram.
In 2017, Justin opened up Makersreflecting on his relationship with Emily, “I had made the same mistake so many times, looking for something in a package that I thought I would want.
“When I met Emily, it was unlike any other experience I’ve had. She had a kind of depth and grace and a quiet strength that I think I always dreamed of – and I just knew it.”
In a recent Instagram post, Emily shared a sweet family moment with Justin and their kids, writing, “There are days when this is the best,” though she also added that some days are “really hard.”

In a fun family moment, Justin recently revealed that their children made their acting debut in It Ends With Us.
“They’re in the final scene of the farmer’s market. There are two kids running into the farmer’s market, and that was their kind of debut. I said, ‘Action,’ and then they ran away.”
Meanwhile, newly revealed details in the lawsuit allege even more egregious behavior, with court documents claiming Baldoni engaged in “improvised physical intimacy” during a scene with no prior discussion or choreography.
One incident reportedly involved Baldoni “discreetly biting and sucking Ms. Lively’s lower lip” during multiple takes, during which he reportedly insisted on reshooting the scene repeatedly despite Lively’s obvious discomfort.
The lawsuit also alleges that Baldoni asked sexual questions, including asking Lively if she and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, had experienced simultaneous climaxes — a question she found intrusive and refused to answer.
