He’s got a new ‘do.
Justin Baldoni debuted a new look while vacationing in Hawaii after admitting he was “exhausted” by the legal drama with his “It Ends With Us” co-star Blake Lively.
According to pics obtained by Page Six, the director stepped out rocking a faux hawk with shaved sides while with his two children, Maiya, 9, and Maxwell, 7, in the Aloha State on Saturday.
Baldoni dressed casually, wearing a white tank top, blue swim shorts, flip-flops and sunglasses and he and his kids grabbed shaved ice from a local restaurant.
It’s unclear if the actor’s wife, Emily Baldoni, joined her family on the outing.
Last month, Justin, 41, admitted that he was “exhausted” from a year of “emotional stress” amid his legal battle with Lively.
“I told them that I wasn’t in the best place. I told them that I was exhausted, that I haven’t given myself time to recover or time to heal,” he said on an episode of the “Gent’s Talk” podcast, which was recorded in November 2024.
“I had an intense year — a lot of material success and a lot of emotional stress. It was very hard on me and my family.”
The dad of two shared that he was “having some anxiety,” struggling with sleeping and was not feeling like his “full self.”
The following month after the podcast episode was recorded, Lively, 37, filed a lawsuit against Justin for sexual harassment, retaliation, emotional distress, invasion of privacy and other claims.
The “Jane the Virgin” alum denied the “Gossip Girl” actress’s claims and in turn, sued the New York Times for libel over a story the newspaper published about Lively’s allegations.
In January, Justin filed a second lawsuit, accusing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of defamation and extortion.
The “Five Feet Apart” director claimed the couple, who tied the knot in 2012, utilized their pal Taylor Swift to further assert control over the production of “It Ends With Us.”
In an effort to clear his name, Justin released raw footage of him and Lively dancing on set to refute her sexual harassment claims and he launched a website with their alleged text messages.
Justin and Lively are scheduled to go to trial in March 2026.
